The antidote to passive-aggressiveness is not brutal honesty. Candor without care just makes you an asshole. Communicating well is being direct in your message and kind in your delivery. The goal isn't to sugarcoat the truth. It's to make it clear that you're trying to help.

Man, these same people who were experts in pandemics also happen to be experts in banking. Makes me feel so small, since all I know is about enterprise software.

In toxic cultures, you have to burn out to earn a break. Time off is how you recover. In decent cultures, you take a break when you're low on gas. Time off is how you refuel. In healthy cultures, you're expected to take regular breaks. Time off is encouraged to sustain energy.

I need to say something about this job market. Big Tech is painting a picture of “downturn” to hide their overhiring and to create a scarcity mindset among candidates to drive down comp. In reality, the market for top talent has never been stronger. Don’t fall for it!

@kyleshevlin If you made a thought-a-day calendar, with these sort of sarcastic yet also too real sayings, I would buy it. :-)

@urlichsanais If an open source project belongs to your company, how does that company prioritize and support you working on the project? For example, does open source work happen after everything else is completed, in your spare time? Is there a dedicated time and effort for opensource work?

@jehicks2 We've had Uplift standing desks for 3 months, and while they are not cheap, the frame is very sturdy compared to other desks I've seen. If in a dry climate, we don't recommend their wood tops, which are particularly subject to hairline cracks.

If there's any disparity, it should be in favor of your current employees (eg access to promotions and new role openings). You'll spend hundreds of thousands on recruiting, but not on raises to keep your current people up to date on salary bands? Okay then.

@richburroughs Did she say anything about taking naps? I’ve heard mixed feedback about this from other sleep folks, so I’m curious if your doctor has advice about naps versus trying to avoid them?

@fisayo_ajisafe This is awesome, I hope you are able to get a laptop to improve your access to all of the things. Let me know if there’s anything I could do to help.

But a manager's outcome is the outcomes of the system they manage, and what they do is create and sustain the context in which that system can achieve those outcomes. This is subtle, and doesn't always look like what most people expect managing to look like.

The best managers don't look like they're doing much of anything because they've put in motion a system steers itself towards its desired outcomes without requiring their constant intervention. This is difficult to value in a context where individual performance must be measured.

If “everyone is tired of wearing masks” means we don’t wear masks, the government should also know that “everyone is tired of paying taxes”

I burnout a lot because I think I’m never doing enough, when in fact I’m pushing myself to the limit

I honestly feel like the two most important things I can teach students as a professor are that: 1. they deserve to be treated with respect by people in positions of power, and 2. when they are in positions of power, they should treat those they have power over with respect.
