Something I never would have expected when starting my career: I still like SQL better than every single technology that has tried to shield me from it.

@chris_cooney @WoodyZuill And being able to step away from the mob to solo code for a bit without holding back the team is a nice benefit of mobbing too.

[Allan Stewart @AllanCodes]

@chris_cooney @WoodyZuill Chris, that’s a great piece. I can definitely relate to those feelings. I always make sure to write some solo code from time to time — usually a code kata or something that doesn’t go to production (just in case). 😆

Sitting next to @WoodyZuill while @AllanCodes quotes WoodZuill. #PSLIVE19

@torrey_a I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[Woody Zuill @WoodyZuill]

This is very important IMO - Flow efficiency vs Resource efficiency.

@WoodyZuill I never expected that Woody would be attending my mob programming talk, but it was a most pleasant surprise!

@mattc_baker I dunno; I think it depends on typescript adoption. Plain javascript makes tooling difficult.

If you want to stay relevant as a software developer for the next ten years?

These are the 3 major things you should focus on:

1. The ability to work in a team.
2. Communication.
3. Coaching and uplifting those more junior than you.

Tech always changes.

@russmiles @mtnygard I know, right? I was facepalming once I realized it.

[Allan Stewart @AllanCodes]

Chatted with a cool speaker at #QConSF today. His name seemed familiar but I couldn’t quite place him... turns out it was @mtnygard !

[Randy Shoup @randyshoup]

When parachuted into a new situation, @Grady_Booch asks two wise questions to get a sense of the system:

* Tell me about your release process?
* Do you have an architecture vision?

Once those are sorted out, everything else is detail.

[Allan Stewart @AllanCodes]

So true. #QConSF

[Allan Stewart @AllanCodes]

At #QConSF this morning, excited for it to start!

Picard programming tip: A computer is like a mischievous genie. It will give you exactly what you ask for, but not always what you want.

You have a product management org? Cool.

How responsible are they for the health (reliability, code quality, architecture, performance, serviceability) of the product?

No? They're selling features, loading backlogs, and pushing velocity?!
How is that PRODUCT management?
