new post: the senior engineer death spiral

https://t.co/xzgU1jVBRh

a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

[Scott Hanselman 🌮 @shanselman]

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLZ

like many developers, I have a LOT of domains I bought for projects that are... let's say "on hold"

this month we're challenging developers to finally ship those domains — and we're ready to put our money where our mouth is!

Visual Studio 2022, now with 🔥hot-reload-everything, imagine that in native applications (C++) seeing changes in real time. Amazing!

All code using array.reduce should be rewritten without array.reduce so it's readable by humans *mutes thread*

Superstar @Rajinikanth has to be in the mix!

Here's a favourite dialogue that @MrGirish used for @FreshworksInc big day!
"Singa nadai potu Sigaraththil yeru"
"Sigaraththai adainthaal Vaanaththil yeru"
What's the Rajini dialogue that inspired you?

not only should you be allowed to google during a tech interview, but that should be a skill you're allowed to display; it shows how well you can ask questions, augmenting your ignorance of details, etc. googling lets you thicken the arms of your T-shaped skillset.

@Joelbdenning @hputzek Oh right.
I thought it was to do with webpack and moving it inside batect would make the experience same across developer machine

[Askar Imran @AskarImran]

@Joelbdenning @hputzek Would running it in batect solve it ?
