Introversion for me is like being a mobile phone. The battery depletes through normal use over the day but social interaction and constant noise is like screen-on time and the battery wears faster. Put me in a corner out of the way and I'll recharge, ready to go again! #introvert

Bro, just roll your own auth, it's easy! Besides, all you need to do is hash a password right?

Ever wondered what it takes to craft an SDK that not only works but delights developers? 🤔 *Spoiler alert* Crafting an SDK isn't just about the code These insights from @martin64k are your blueprint for success. 📈✨ bit.ly/3TjLfZC

YES!! I believe this is true for most people...we can be good engineers or good managers, or even both. But not at the same time. I've written on this before. 🙃 charity.wtf/2019/01/04/engin… among others.
Replying to @mipsytipsy
What I am realizing now is that I can do both, but not simultaneously! I need a very different frame of mind to operate as an engineer or manager. Is it a common thing?

Why should you, or anyone else, become an engineering manager? Teams with a good engineering manager are more resilient, and they consistently outperform teams without one, but the job can be hard and thankless. Why do it? New post: charity.wtf/2023/12/15/why-s…
