it occurs to me that a lot of the problem lately is a surplus of fucking around and a deficit of finding out

If I had a database that was handling 90% reads and 10% writes, I'd optimise it for reads. On a totally unrelated note, software developers spend 10x as much time reading code as they do writing it.

The new “working interview,” where potential employers have candidates do tasks and assignments, for free, is an unethical scam that I hope the workforce soon refuses to partake in. The amount of hours people are putting in to do free work for jobs they don’t get is infuriating.

IPCC report says we’re too late to avoid most of the climate crisis but if we act immediately the worst effects could be avoided Headlines: “Woah Will Smith Slapped a guy!” 1,000 scientists protest and risk arrest. Headlines: “Oooo what’s that rapscallion Elon Musk up to now.”Post details
Shouldn't over 1,000 scientists risking arrest to save the planet be a bigger news story than Elon Musk trying to buy Twitter?

It's super common for a lot of careers to have people work part time on even stuff like 30 hours Idk why tech is so against it, you are either a contractor or you work 40 hours and there is no in betweenSara Vieira (@NikkitaFTW)Thu, 14 Apr 2022 13:43 +0000

Ben and Cassidy compare notes on Plex.tv, the rapid collapse of Fast.co, and why rigorous adherence to personal security protocols can make the FBI suspicious.
We often have code that’s similar between projects and we find ourselves copying that code around. In this episode we discuss what to do with this common code, how to organize it, and what code qualifies as this common code.
This is the most dangerous man in America 😂

i was on tumblr when yahoo had to sell it for $3 million after buying it for $1.1 billion. we were all a little bit responsible for losing yahoo a billion dollars. and with that type of collective effort, i believe we here on twitter can lose elon musk even more

Yeah, I think I’ll stop calling them “billionaires.” That word seems to celebrate their wealth as an accomplishment. “Oligarch” sounds good to me, since it calls attention to their power.Emily 🌦 (@emilyst)Fri, 15 Apr 2022 07:33 +0000

I want to see a comic about the CIA trying to murder Clark Kent and making it look like an accident. Not because they know he's Superman but because he's a really good journalist. Make it a comedy because the CIA assassins can't figure out why their attempts keep failing.

One of my greatest joys in life is when Jeff calls the vet to make an appointment and they ask for his name, and he says, Jeff. Then, they ask for our cat's name, and I watch him gather his strength before he tells them, Baby Jeff.

There are plenty of successful engineers and there are some that are brilliant jerks. But there are no brilliant jerk engineers that are also successful. If you think someone will get value from this, consider retweeting the first tweet. Thanks for reading.Louie Bacaj (@LBacaj)Thu, 14 Apr 2022 19:58 +0000
Bonus: Persevering when it's not looking good. Most devs know a brute force approach to a problem works when all else fails. But many don't take that attitude toward career problems. They become easily demoralized or disengaged. So much success in life comes down to grit.Louie Bacaj (@LBacaj)Thu, 14 Apr 2022 19:58 +0000
8. The risks engineers are willing to take Engineers have to make the right tradeoffs, especially on things like tech debt. But tech debt is risky; it could cripple you and your teams. But those same risks, if they go right, could have a massive upside for you and your teams.Louie Bacaj (@LBacaj)Thu, 14 Apr 2022 19:58 +0000
7. Knowing what's worth learning. Learning is important in our industry, but not everything is worth learning. Some patterns, technologies, or techniques will have a disproportionate impact on engineering careers. Knowing what's worth learning is just as important as learning.Louie Bacaj (@LBacaj)Thu, 14 Apr 2022 19:58 +0000
6. A love for lifelong learning. Our industry & the world keeps evolving. If developers don't love learning, they'll struggle. Not learning leads enginers to be stuck in roles or places they hate.Louie Bacaj (@LBacaj)Thu, 14 Apr 2022 19:58 +0000
4. An engineer's self-awareness. Understanding: - how one comes off. - the impact of one's actions. - the way they treat others and make others feel. Those who are self-aware can bounce back from mistakes and succeed long term.Louie Bacaj (@LBacaj)Thu, 14 Apr 2022 19:58 +0000
9. Collaboration with other humans. Tech is cool. We're engineers because we love tech. But if we don't care about ppl, it won't matter how good we are at tech. People run the world, if we don't treat some well, it'll come back to us. They'll preside over our career success.Louie Bacaj (@LBacaj)Thu, 14 Apr 2022 19:58 +0000
5. How humble they are. Ego destroys long-term success. Software engineers make good money; some happen to be really smart. But there is no reason for an ego. There will always be smarter and richer engineers too. Many engineers need to humble themselves a little bit.Louie Bacaj (@LBacaj)Thu, 14 Apr 2022 19:58 +0000
10. A focus on others' needs. Everyone is focused on what they want: Your colleague wants a promotion. Your Boss wants to grow the team. When was the last time you recommended your colleague be promoted? When was the last time you told your bosses-boss what your boss needs?Louie Bacaj (@LBacaj)Thu, 14 Apr 2022 19:58 +0000
