it is actually just so wild that these buildings used to exist in San Francisco the Palace of Fine Arts is just the tiniest taste of what's left from the 1915 expo

Context is key to good decision making. Context is critical for empowered teams. Rereading this post from Marty Cagan svpg.com/lead-with-cont… always motivates me for our mission codexbuild to capture and share context across the engineering organization.

“it’s not a package manager, it’s a declarative, purely functional language for describing a reproducible system configuration.” “okay, it’s not a package manager. so how do i install a package?” “you write a Nix expression that describes a system with that package installed.”

🚨Ship alert 🚢 TL;DR We've codexbuild automated the creation and updating of CODEOWNER files in GitHub codeowners.com Why does this improve code quality, time to production, and developer experience? Hell, wondering what a CODEOWNER file is? I've got you...

60, the number of men we lose worldwide to suicide per hour. One per minute. Unconscionable. I’m raising funds for Movember to support mental health initiatives. I’ll be running 60km this month. Donate if you can, I appreciate you: ca.movember.com/mospace/146121…

If nothing else Mastodon is introducing people into the whole Open Source tradition of trying to be enthusiastic about something really bad that doesn't work at all because you don't want to be rude to the maintainers and the thing you really want to use doesn't work anymore.

Managing a CODEOWNERS file manually? Tedious and annoying; it'll be stale and out of date often. Enter automated Code Ownership codeowners.com. Automatically track which people and teams own which code. Check it out on Product Hunt: producthunt.com/posts/codeowne…

If you have a lot of hubris with no curiosity, you might not understand: - how to build upon lessons learned from the old system - the opportunity cost of trying something new - the complexity of a massive rewrite, or why the system became complex for the current features

A dev who can build something alone quickly may not have the skillset to evaluate these tradeoffs. Deciding that if you are smart and can’t figure it out, it must be broken is irresponsible. This is why a curious mindset is one of the greatest strengths an engineer can possess.

Not convinced that a single meeting should exist over 30 minutes. Even board meetings. Read the material beforehand. Align on key points to address. Tight agenda. Run it home.

Async programming is so cool. With just a few minutes of work you can have a program that hangs forever and is impossible to debug
