2. How an engineer treats those more junior than them.
If an engineer mistreats juniors early on, won't help or guide them, they likely won't treat them better later in their career. In turn, they'll struggle to grow.
Our field is complex; much growth comes from teaching others
The top 10 predictors of successful engineering careers.
I've helped hire 100s of engineers in my 12+ year career. I've managed and steered the careers of multiple engineering teams.
Some of these may surprise you, but I am confident they predict career success in our industry.
1. How an engineer handles grunt work.
Engineers love the latest & greatest tech.
But the majority of software development is:
- gluing together APIs
- refactoring shitty code
- fixing other people's bugs
They'll struggle to get to the exciting stuff if they hate the boring.
3. How engineers communicate, especially with non-technical people.
Being understood across domains & up the chain means knowing when to use:
- plain & simple language
- less or more technical detail
Invest in this. It is a solid predictor of success for technical people.
Too much body positivity on my feed. Humans are disgusting. Skin is gross. We have so many holes. There’s a skeleton inside. Uncomfortable just seeing one of us in public.

This is entirely true:
In addition to being a great guy, @SeamusBlackley is married to my wife’s first cousin once removed.
Seamus is the father of the Xbox.
Therefore: by marriage the @Xbox is my second cousin, and I don’t gossip on Twitter about family.
One of the most common questions we receive at Go Time is how to handle schema migrations in Go. In this episode Jon is joined by Mike Fridman and Vojtech Vitek, maintainers of the popular schema migration tool pressly/goose, to discuss techniques, tools, and tips for handling schema migrations.
My friend’s business has been closed for two weeks now, because of a covid outbreak. His staff is sick.
Entrepreneurs are getting a reality check.
Uncontrolled spread has the same results as lockdowns.
It's so easy to throw shade on folks when things like this happen. Easy to jump to assumptions of incompetence and suggestions of how you'd have avoided getting in a similar situation.
No-one is immune to bad things happening.
Update on cloud outage impacting ~400 customers. As part of scheduled maintenance our team ran a script to delete legacy data from a deprecated service. Instead of deleting the data the script erroneously deleted sites, and connected products, users, and 3rd party apps. (1/5)
Watched Free Guy the other day and saw an Octocat sticker! Someone on the set design team should get a promotion. Awesome movie and attention to detail, @VancityReynolds! 😻
Three industry experts with different ties to the world of software talk about the latest in software, from Log4j to today, and what remediation looks like for development teams. We discuss update behaviors in the development community and the risks associated with using old code. To round out our debut episode - we talk about the silent industrial revolution and who bears the burden of maintaining open source software.
This week we’re joined by Deepthi Sigireddi, Vitess Maintainer and engineer at PlanetScale — of course we’re talking about all things Vitess. We talk about its origin inside YouTube, how Vitess handles sharding, Deepthi’s journey to Vitess maintainer, when you should begin using it, and how it fits into cloud native in...
In 2020 @JeffBezos made $8 million an hour. Every hour.
@elonmusk? He made $18 million an hour. Every hour.
The idea philanthropy is the answer when you make that much money is absurd. You can’t give it away quickly enough. The ultra rich should a pay a *lot* more tax.
"We're *just* having lunch"
"We *just *believe in biological sex"
"JK Rowling *just* wrote an essay."
The gaslighting going on here is shocking.
Everyone knows what the goals of the gender critical movement are.
The Unix shell is pure wizardry. Why shouldn’t it be as easy to write systems programs in Go as it is in the shell? The script library is the secret spell-book that makes this possible.
This got me curious, so I did some quick googling. It appears that on average, 32 people a year in Australia die to wildlife. In the US, 15,000 people a year die to gun violence. Double that if you include suicide.
I will never get over how frequently Americans tell me they’re too scared to visit Australia because of the animals, meanwhile my Australian family is hesitant to visit the US because of the shootings.
Well if people can make up a story about someone who's been dead for three days coming back to life, I don't think him having his head miraculously popped back on too would be much of a problem.
If Jesus had been a Roman citizen, like Paul, he would have been beheaded and not crucified. How would the church have managed without 2000 years of cross-based iconography? Never mind a much greater difficulty with the resurrection.
Today’s office doggo is Poppy, courtesy of office visitor @Jack_Franklin. I got to snuggle a doggo all the way through a meeting, which is how i want to do all meetings from now on
One of the nice things about opinionated frameworks: They’re friendly to new developers.
Fewer decisions and more prescriptive guidance = less stress.
And, it’s easier to move between different projects each project follows the same conventions.
