COVID-19 was many people’s first introduction to the working-from-home experience. I’ve been lucky enough to have been working from home exclusively since 2009 and at US-based companies (e.g. GitHub) since 2012. I’ve also been an EU-based open-source maintainer since 2007 and maintaining the globally-distributed Homebrew package manager since 2009. These experiences have helped me learn some tips on how to be more effective working remotely that I’d like to share with you:

My spicy take is that XML is better than YAML, because there are situations where XML is appropriate, but there’s no situation where YAML is appropriate. Let me explain…

Very convenient for me that every security question that most websites ask for is exactly the same info in the little info box on Wikipedia. I could just make a little tool to automatically fill them in. For security.

For today’s episode, Asim is joined by Andrea Goulet, who has spent more than 20 years in the tech industry. She joins Asim as she tells her journey in the tech industry and how the idea of empathy has helped her develop some soft skills that may be productive for software engineers in the field. [00:39] Introduction of Andrea [2:00] About Empathy [04:56] Andrea’s Journey in Software [07:47] Frameworks on Empathy [10:27] Applications of Framework to Engineers [14:45] Taking Actions with Empathy [20:10] Tangible Benefits of Empathy [26:21] Task and Relationship Conflicts [28:59] How to Reach Andrea Defining Empathy Empathy is the moment an individual experiences when they have the power to make decisions and then act upon it. It is that moment when one’s thought process can read the feelings or foresee the consequences of the actions they are about to do. In the world of software and tech, empathy is not the main highlight to the work system, however, this underlying skill can be the butterfly effect that can change the course of productivity and outputs of software engineers. Essential Soft Skills Empathy is a soft skill that can be harnessed as a metaphor to create a better working environment not just for yourself, but for your co-workers as well. Rooting back to the decision-making moments, there comes a time where you have to consider factors such as rational or logical thinking, setting up boundaries, and proper communications, these are the trigger points where empathy plays a big role in creating a good working environment. The soft skill has worked on many software developers in terms of better work productivity as well as healthier and professional working relationships with colleagues.

I love a good refactoring - picking things apart, reviewing the domain model, incrementally whittling away bits of cruft the code has acquired over time. It feels peaceful too; relaxing. Getting it to the nitty gritty of the value so myself and my team can work more effectively and accurately.

Due to current events, let me remind y’all that not going to any talks at conferences has tangible consequences that will affect YOU too – eventually. Anyone making claims about this as anything else than a trade-off can be safely ignored: https://hynek.me/articles/hallway-track/

There are many good reasons to not go to every talk possible when attending conferences. However increasingly it became hip to boast about avoiding going to talks – encouraging others to follow suit. As a speaker, that rubs me the wrong way and I’ll try to explain why.

I say "when COVID stopped being a priority" where other folks say "post-COVID" or sometimes "when the money ran out"
by Jamie Tanna

Please don't say "After the pandemic" or "Post-covid world". Don't use phrasing that reinforces the idea that the pandemic is over and it's all in the past. It is not. Say "post lockdowns", "After the initial response", "since public health measures expired", "during the global emergency phase", "while schools were closed". Use accurate terms for what you mean, don't erase this gigantic ongoing issue. Don't gaslight more. Remember that language is powerful and #CovidIsNotOver

Happy Bisexual Awareness Week! Celebrate with us by - sitting on chairs weird - getting into an argument over the definition of pansexuality - watching The Mummy (1999) and thirsting after all the main characters - agonizing over your queerness in hypothetical straight passing relationship - thinking “brain, them?! Really?” Enjoy!
