X (Decission, Meeting, etc) Logs is like any other logging solution. Until shit hits the fan you won’t even open it, but when it does you tailing and greping the hell out of it.


Platform teams need to build the common sense and empathy to give production level staging / uat environments to internal / external customers. The cost of figuring out if an API is malfunctioning due to infrastructure, data or system issues is very expensive to customers.


Every company ever during performance management reviews Engineer - I am doing X so I should get a bonus and get promoted Manager - But isn’t X your default responsibility!! Engineer - Oh but I did it overtime Manager - 🙄


One job that needs to be paid most and is the need of the hour - capturing minutes - reminding ^ n exactly what needs to be done - doing follow ups - reminding stakeholders you can’t define a deadline and hold someone accountable

Another little secret: a lot of what most “developer influencers” say is fairly aspirational. Their own companies don’t necessarily do things as smoothly as they preach to others. This is especially true at larger companies where the culture might vary vastly between orgs/teams

In the last few years, I've talked with hundreds, if not thousands, of software developers. What I've learned: there's a HUGE gap between what developer-influencers are writing about, versus the daily reality of most developers. BUT PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE OTHER STUFF. 1/

Let’s just have a think, yes? Let’s say @gitpod open sources *all* of Gitpod. Full free software product play. They run a saas, they take partner workloads, they let you build a derivative and ship it (but can’t call it Gitpod)


“Definition of Done” is the most under utilised tool in product engineering.

Since time immemorial, when a CEO asks a PM at Product Review, “what do you need to 10X users/revenue?”, “what will make you go faster?”, etc the PM steadfastly responds “We need [N] more engineers”. The Eng Mgr nods approvingly. A story thread, with some hard truths to swallow:

Another great point that many of us struggle with. First of all, sure, there *should* be no bad jobs, but that injustice is likely to exceed your personal capacity to resolve. 🙃

I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaally trying to balance this with "I don't believe there should be any bad jobs, and if I find myself in one, I should fight with my employer to make it better" martyrdom runs thick in my family, but also Id don't REALLY love market theory . . . it's tough?



The problem of biases it’s a necessary evil for a lot of people, when you remove them they don’t know how to live.
