We're looking to start up the Hack N' Tells again!

(Assuming we could do either safely)
What's your preference for in-person vs. remote?

[RokkinCat @RokkinCat]

RokkinCat will be closing down at the end of this year, thank you so much to everyone who has worked with us and helped us over the past 11 years. Read more on our blog https://t.co/4hpX4sTHSa

Here's a look back into a few remote-working tips from our employees back in early 2020.

Perhaps we'll have to do an updated list now that our entire team has been remote for the last few years 👀

In this week's episode, our hosts chat with Jason Stiebs, founder of @RokkinCat and core contributor to @elixirphoenix, about LiveView, features he finds particularly useful, and problem-solving complex issues.

@RokkinCat Leave things better than you found them

Enforced as an unspoken attitude, influenced by our team's desire to make life easier for each other (and for our future selves)

[RokkinCat @RokkinCat]

Neat podcast exploring the idea of traditions in the relatively young industry of software development.

What are some software traditions you identify with? Does your organization have any? How are they upheld?

This podcast is really hitting some fascinating influences to software and other apologies. Really approaching software with old ideas in a fresh way. https://t.co/3ymhuE8z3x

Wondering what a Hack N' Tell is?

TL, DR: Just a time to hang out and create something awesome. Oh, plus delicious food.

Moving from corporate development to software contracting is ... uncomfortable, but also liberating??

@theErinHeinz eloquently documented her take on the mindset shift into contracting, give it a read!

[Erin @theErinHeinz]

It's easy to think that development is development, but each industry has different business models. Their goals are fundamentally different and this changes how developers problem solve.

[Erin @theErinHeinz]

Made the switch from corporate to contracting earlier this year and decided to write a short article about a few of the things I've learned.

Prospective ask me this all the time. My answer is usually "if you're asking, you'll probably be a good client" since trying is half the battle. But there's some great tips in here for working with any contractor.

[RokkinCat @RokkinCat]

Ever wondered how you, as a client, can improve your working relationship with contractors?

@Lyzzi_Lightyear provides a short list detailing just that

Learning to learn >>>

[Brendan Pettis @brendanpettis]

@sabrinastangler That you have to know a bunch of different programming languages to be a good developer. I’ve personally found that depth in one language and fundamentals is more useful as it’ll allow you to quickly pick up other languages when you need them.

[Sometimes Business @nickgartmann]

My first job/team taught me that "sales" was the enemy of the engineering team. When we started RokkinCat I had to learn FAST that business constraints are part of the milieu of trade offs that need to be considered.

To my devs, what have you *unlearned* about pursuing a career in software development?

Should have read this book before preparing my talk.

[Jason @peregrine]

first pass of my talk is nearly perfectly timed. I have more I wanted to say so when I remvoe the umms and rambling I will have plenty of time.

Just need to tighten it up and add a bunch more slides and we're golden.
