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.
❤️ that thing where you get an email and it's not from a gmail address but from a custom domain and you think oh cool let me check out if they have a personal website and then they do and it's FUCKING AMAZING

Really excited to tuck into this! @adhdjesse@mastodon.social has been one of my favorite voices on ADHD since getting diagnosed as an adult a few years back.
Dear reader, Welcome to the last letter. I couldn’t have imagined what would happen when I penned my first letter 5 years ago. (I still think you should learn version control, for the record.…
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.
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

A hoy hoy! Our old friend Nick Nisi does his best to bring up TypeScript, Vim & Tmux as many times as possible while we discuss a new batch of web browsers, justify why we like the ones we do & try to figure out what it’d take to disrupt the status quo of Big Browser.
Developers and Open Source authors now have a massive amount of services offering free tiers, but it can be hard to find them all to make informed decisions.

I've spent the past ten years wondering about the overall accessibility story for SPAs, since ensuring accessibility of regular old forms-and-links applications has always been a relatively low impact activity (you get a lot of it for free)
Based on recent discourse on the bird site it's beginning to look like the most common SPA solution to this has been to complain that it's too difficult and expensive and then not bother!
