Proud of this piece, but especially loved being able to quote @yvonnezlam: “I think that a lot of what we’re sort of fumbling towards is like love... How do we care for each other professionally? What kinds of things help us do our jobs better?” thenewstack.io/measuring-deve…

I'm really honored to have been invited to write for @TheLeadDev, which has a track record of prioritizing #DEI across its #community. And excited to introduce my topic of 2023 (so far): #PlatformEngineering to its audience! Please read and share! leaddev.com/tech/can-platf…

Despite time/expense dedicated to #onboarding, little attention paid to #offboarding — an opportunity missed, and a risk to your whole #recruitment #retention cycle and team motivation. So I created a guide to help! Thanks @tobealy and more thenewstack.io/tech-works-a-g… #TechLayoffs

Some dude on LinkedIn offered me a compelling topic to get paid to write about. Then he told me I would get paid exclusively on page views and shares… Don’t do that. That’s like so 20 years ago, and no way to value your #writing nor long-term SEO. #writingTips #WritersLife

Some of the hardest writing is laying people off. But one of the most important writing. Handle with care.

If you’re still here, please join us on Mastodon! If you follow me for iOS/Apple things, the community is already there and geeking out about Ivory like it’s 2011 again ✨ I even tweeted about something diversity & inclusion related recently and got zero trolls in my replies 🤯

We'll look back at this week as an inflection point when Big Tech lost its former attractiveness. It will be stories like Justin's, and the countless ones to be told, where many realize that, during layoffs, people become numbers, and 8% of those numbers need to be "marked."

Journalist friends: I'm teaching a course about freelancing/building a career in journalism this semester. What do you wish you'd known earlier? I'm covering pitching, invoicing, safety, taxes, relationships, online presence...what else?

What’s the first language you ever got paid to write code in? For me: C#/.NET, followed closely by PHP

I’m about to cry lol I just saw an engineer I worked w/ on my first web dev job back in 2018. His name is Alex…he made such an impact on my life. He never made me feel bad for asking questions, always willing to teach me & he didn’t know back then HOW gifted. I hope he knows now

So I haven't said anything about Elon Musk or Twitter because a) I am really trying to allocate my fucks given away from my areas of impotency, and b) the only appropriate commentary is gallows humor, and there are many people much funnier than me on the job.

A very interesting sentence in C. Wright Mills’ The Sociological Imagination: “Since one can be trained only in what is already known, training sometimes incapacitates one from learning new ways; it makes one rebel against what is bound to be at first loose and even sloppy.”

this piece is called "How to Recruit and Onboard Neurodivergent People", but -- and I realize this is not a novel insight, by any means 🤣 -- it does pretty fucking great as a piece on making interviews/onboarding better for everyone. blog.container-solutions.com/how-to-recruit…

There are a million different definitions of observability floating around, and I'm probably responsible for more than my fair share of them. But as a user, the key functionality to watch for is: * high-cardinality * high-dimensionality * explorability Accept no substitutes. 🐝

For all the people at AWS like me who have been pushing hard for better DX and integration, the title of this made my heart happy. ❤️

So, @awscloud announced some cool things last week at re:Invent, but for me, the real news was AWS' growing commitment to tighter integration btwn its services, more love for third-party products, & greater open source commitment infoworld.com/article/368215… by @mjasay for @InfoWorld

if your on call rotations were 100% voluntary, how many of your engineers would opt in to them? 👇slides from a recent talk of mine on making on call duty a fun, interesting change of pace (and a badge of honor) ☺️. speakerdeck.com/charity/being-…

So if you’ve just purchased a company that uses microservices and want to understand what the hell they are, and whether or not turning them off randomly will cause issues, this might be helpful: samnewman.io/books/building…
