I’m a sucker for a flashy new database technology. Especially the ones with the slick websites and punchy content. I still just use Postgres though 🤷🏼‍♂️

Agile is not just a methodology, it's a mindset. Embracing change, valuing collaboration, and delivering value to the customer should be at the heart of every software project. #agilemindset #softwareengineering

Seems the #crypto bros are now #ai bros. It’s a bit funny to observe as an interested outsider. Imo any attention is progress, even the goob shilling his ai app that he says will change the world

I’m constantly struggling to get a Twitter feed/content I enjoy and bounce back and forth between using lists aggressively or just following people. The problem is lists isn’t very user friendly and ratios/follow activity matter. I’m sure @elonmusk has this on the radar.

In #DDD terms, I have a hard time maintaining clean bounded contexts. Sometimes I want to consume #SoftwareArchitecture content, other times I want to catch up on #CelebrityNews - lists are just so hard to maintain and do this efficiently 🤷🏼‍♂️

Being a tech leader isn't just about your technical knowledge, it's about navigating the complex political landscape of an organization. Think of it as 'Tech Politics 101' #Leadership #Tech

Nothing livens up a Monday like deploying the bit of code that doesn't have staging environment ... at the end of the day #production #pipeline

Technology doesn't have to be disruptive to be effective. Sometimes the biggest gains are from incremental improvements to existing processes. #platform #architecture #tech #growth

Is there a better commercial for Rank Choice Voting than what is going on with the Speaker's vote in the House ? The current system, from primary to generals to speaker voting, empowers the extremes to the expense of constituants. Time to change
