This terrible stereotype that coding and problem solving is a young person's game is hurting companies and coders.

No, not normal. Only two hours means you were distracted.

There is no way they don't end up in the cockpit of a giant robotic lion, right?

As cynical as this may sound, it is spot on. Corporate investment in the OSS software they rely on needs to be normalized. There are big big hurdles to get there, though.

I don't know about "set and forget," but moving from cloud to self-host is just changing how you spend your time debugging and maintaining your platform; neither eliminates the time sink.

AI right now is like a dev that never spoke to anyone responsible for a go to market plan. "I have spent months creating a way for pictures to animate and sing!" "That took a lot of time. What are people going to do with it?" "Scare children and trick the elderly."

Bold take. I am pretty sure in the entire history of the software languages landscape, converging is yet to be something that has happened.

Spelling with extra steps might be the most annoying trend in a while.

A lot of meetings could have been an email. Even if they made this meeting an email, I would have thought "why did we send this email?"

You just know the part of The Little Mermaid where the all-powerful king of the sea, who can destroy anything with his trident, can't stop Ursala from taking Ariel because "she signed a contract" is a note from corporate because they don't want the workers getting any ideas.

At this point, strange women lying in ponds and distributing swords is making a good case for a system of government.

It is definitely creative, there are so many ways to solve a problem and people get to express it. I think we can find some room in the creativity spectrum between zero and the Mona Lisa.

One of the big gaps in implementing something new is the step after creating policy: persuading people to change. Putting it in a doc or email isn't going to make a cultural change, and showcasing the why/advantages for things after the decision will see big morale improvements.

This is absolutely true, depending on the site of course. But the amount of people replying that react, or other frameworks, are just required nowadays to build any website just shows how far the current zeitgeist of web development has drifted from it's early days.

What a great senior dev 💪🏻

I only made it halfway through Twisters. I turned it off when I found myself rooting for the tornados.

Tip for my fellow leaders when giving interviews: Ask slowly and take your time asking folks a question, even think of some example responses to share so they know what you have in mind. When I focus on this, their responses tend to be much clearer and I learn more about them.

"I refuse to believe this works given how many errors I had in console when I did this accidentally."
