Which of my current views would I disagree with if I were born in a different country or generation?

Systems, once they exist, tend to become immune to change, no matter how good the people are. People come and go, but the system remains.
I did a thing, it was so good I can’t wait to do it again.
Earlier this week, one of our Engineering Managers, Trish, ran a thought-provoking & engaging workshop for Welly's women/enby in #tech community. 😍
Thanks to everyone who came along! We loved hosting you at our office & can't wait for the next one. 🕊

When parenting and building software experience combines:
Clients are nothing more than toddlers who are screaming about wanting a blue cup instead of red. When what they actually NEED is a nap
Anyone else consider the eternal search for a "source of truth" to be a bandaid for deeper systemic issues?
This is a tweet I still refer to often, and not just for evaluating tech/tool.
Works for any decision making situation

My wife just said "if you hate everyone, you should eat something, and if you think everyone hates you, you should go to sleep" and I don't think I've heard a better life hack

I care more about shipping APIs than how I have to *talk* to make it happen. 🤷🏼♀️
Takeaway: don’t tell women to ask for the raise, speak like a man, or other things that work for you. Women are rational, if we’re doing something weird, fix the system, not us.
Slight reframe for me. When you build anything you WILL have to rewrite some or all of it.
Knowing what's most likely going to be up first for rewriting and making a plan to address is an exercise often neglected.
This is the most crucial of tech debt conversations.
When you build something with a brand new technology, you’ll likely need to rewrite the whole thing a second time, with enough experience gained.
Observed this many times. Turns out it’s not just me. Here’s The Mythical Man Month observing the same thing, written ~50 years ago.

Communication is not about saying what we think. Communication is about ensuring others hear what we mean.
