It's pretty rare to see REAL Seasoned Staff-Plus Engineers talking about their career, where and how they try to influence, what questions they ask themselves, how they try to flight complexity, how they embrace “messy” things It's even rarer to see someone like @copyconstruct…

La culpa de no haber previsto nada la tiene Mazón. La culpa de no haber avisado mucho antes a los valencianos cuando tenía mucha información de AEMET y demás expertos la tiene Mazón. La culpa de haber desplegado un dispositivo ridículo incapaz de salvar a casi nadie la tiene

I've said this before but I'm saying it again: when you're looking at your job, you should have: - Good pay - Good culture - Good growth opportunities If you have 2/3, it's not too bad, but 0 or 1/3, you might want to question why you're still at that job.

My talk from QCon NYC 2023 has just been posted: "Perils, Pitfalls and Pratfalls of Platform Engineering." Pitfall #1: Running too much software #2: Writing too much software #3: Not letting teams own their own reliability ... and so on! (there are 8) https://t.co/cIY4fvVQ5f

I also called this wrong; fully expecting twitter to have crashed and burned a few times over after the cuts. I'm amazed twitter is still running, even if it's a shadow of its former self, overrun by bots and propped up by repeated ads for portable walrus polishing kits.
It’s time to acknowledge that 75% of Twitter’s staff were laid off and this thing is still running

It’s surprising to me when leaders don’t think that morale is their job. IMO, the higher in the company, the more morale and making sure people understand strategy IS the job. I myself don’t always do this perfectly but I always know it’s my responsibility.

Curious what the right cadence of time off is for folks throughout the year to avoid burnout. 5 days a quarter? 2 weeks per year? Would love to know what works for others
