lol we built farmers dog with dogs running around the office at all times. i stepped away to clean up so many accidents, and none of the dogs were mine.
If you want to understand why your 22-28 year old staff have wildly confused understanding of professional norms - there's currently a (mildly satirical) LinkedIn post by a WFH SDR talking about how he spends a bunch of time throughout his "average day" changing diapers of his (super cute) 2 month old and reading books to and playing with his (super cute) 2 year old while calling and booking meetings.
The post has like 500 likes and 100+ comments with people celebrating this.
Again: LinkedIn (and Instagram and Tiktok) is actively installing brainworms in your staff. You have to counter it.
I love kids as much as the next person - but being a hybrid childcare provider and sales person is unacceptable.
Let’s make this a thing! :)
I actually just did it at @DevOpsDaysPHL

Git is far from ergonomic, but I find it interesting this resonates with so many. Why does this happen? What is the friction to actually learning how it works?
This was a ton of fun! Got to share a bit how thinking about engineering in terms of platform and product at TFD, among a few other things :)

I got 3-4 fresh React dramas on my feed right now.
Here’s what I suggest we do about it: Shrooms
Server actions is the frontend version of sequelize hooks. A lot of people are going to find themselves in a world of hurt in a few years.
Theres a lot of flexible software that lets you hurt yourself. Git, jenkins, k8s are some things that come to mind for me, and they get there share of flack (especially k8s).

I can’t believe this is happening soon!

A question we are currently considering is if and how we should automate or allow self-provisioning of cloud infra by product teams. We currently collaborate on terraform PRs using atlantis. In general, we prefer to focus on the fundamentals and avoid building the wrong thing.
