Interesting how some large tech companies roll out tools to track the number of PRs merged per engineer - visible for everyone. Meta had this for quite a while. Uber rolling it out recently. There’s no target, but incentivises people to do small and frequent diffs.

Since joining Netflix, it's been an adjustment not following a software development process. Previously did loose versions of agile Netflix's mentality is "just get stuff done, however you want". I've given in after some initial anxiety & now wonder why I didn't do this sooner

Server logs.. I use @splunk to query them, but can be done with simple bash as well...

Is it possible to track page views without showing a GDPR banner? What’s the solution?

An way to get more productive as a software engineer: practice writing clear and concise pull request summaries. This will help not only explain your thinking, but you'll catch yourself when overcomplicating things. Also: use images if making UI changes.

I cannot believe companies are using a tool like Pluralsight flow for sw engineers. It measures targets like coding days, lines of code & target impact (whatever that is). It's the definition of micromanagement. Good luck to anyone managed by this software. From an ad they run:

There's a lot of news about companies laying off or doing hiring freezes. Having talked with recruiters in private, there are still many more companies growing & hiring though. Drop your company's name and a link to jobs site below if you're actively hiring in tech. 👇



Pretty sure all major ci cd can be set up that way.. but if you use artifactory proxy for npm, same speed is achieved with separate npm installs too

Learned a lot about GitHub Actions today. The first job installs node modules. The node_modules directory is cached and used by the other jobs. All jobs take about 2 minutes to complete.

Big Tech that has announced return to the office - usually as a hybrid setup with 2/3 days/week - and when it's due: - Microsoft: 28 March - Meta: 28 March - Google: 4 April - Apple: 11 April Who wins: policy? Exceptions for devs threatening to quit? Startups hiring remote? 🍿

Quality Assurance in Agile Software

That does not mean that Testing should not be done after the code. You will find bugs that you could not even imagine before code after coding is done. The intent seems to be a technique to take out human testing from the pipeline becoz human testing takes time. It'll backfire.



The Role Of QA by @davefarley77 10:50 our aim is to place quality front and center in our development process. the whole team needs to become quality obsessed. QA to act as guides experts on thinking about quality and testing not after we've finished but rather before we begin

People, it's the hottest job market for engineers in our lifetime. If you are considering a new job, this is your opportunity to INTERVIEW THEM. * How long does it take to build & deploy? * What does on call feel like? * Do they have true observability?

I’ve spent the last 6 years campaigning for this kind of delivery, observability, and reliability. I mostly hear excuses at best, mostly get dismissed, and occasionally insulted. This thread is gold though. If you want sustainable reliability you have to have plans.



Just wait until Europe removed daylights savings 😂

Crushing their spirit on things like this is why I like teaching high school.
