There is a war afoot,

To innovate, or die if you don't give a hoot,

The enemy lurks, not deep in the shadows,

But just out of plain sight, in the unknown unknowns,

So load up your weapons with data, identify the insights to target, and shoot!

What really strikes me is This man made, human created , existential pain is so unnecessary and evil perpetrated by evil individuals
When everyone Accepts this truth below , entire nations will start to heal :

“It’s an abomination to God , The Culture of Death. I vote for the God who gave us life and has a right , The ONLY ONE who has a right , to create life AND call it forth to Himself. The only One. You don’t have a right , I don’t have a right , nobody has a right to call death upon someone God has called to Life . “

🌸 Stereotypes are dumb 🌸
I worked with a dev at a prev. company. He had a CS degree, 1 yoe, and was a Python dev. High performer.

... and he could only use a GUI. No experience w/ a shell.

He couldn't:
• make or change directories
• edit files
• use git at all

Say whaaaat?
We were pairing on Zoom and I asked him to make a new directory for a project. He opened up Finder. I asked him if he could use the terminal, and he said "no, usually I do it on the computer or in IntelliJ".

So I helped him without shaming him and listed out practical "why's" for why the terminal is a clutch thing to learn.

After that pairing sesh, he knew what he didn't know and the importance of it.

By the time I left that job, he was confident on the command line and even more productive. He could use vim at a basic level. 🎉

However, I was embarrassed by my inner monologue!
See, my gut reaction (and maybe yours if you're reading this) had been:
• "kids these days"
• "didn't he go to, like, a GOOD university?"
• "what do schools even teach?!"

Finally it hit me, "Despite this gap, he's the most productive person on the team!"

That last point was what stuck.

Closing thoughts:
1. Stereotypes are dumb. Not all {insert term} developers are terminal wizards.
2. Sometimes I encounter developers who have gaps in their knowledge, it doesn't mean they're not good at their jobs.
3. (Productivity + curiosity) > existing knowledge.
4. Teach kindly, without assumptions.

• VSCode: @vscodepro (paid 34$, I learned a lot)

I like this thread.

I don't know if this is a troll or not, but with all apologies to my many wonderful, highly skilled "Architect" friends, I tend to think it's a bullshit role. 🙃

I believe that only the people building software systems get to have opinions on how those systems get built.

#PVCCollection See the way I held on to my PVC. I did transfer & almost gave blood to collect it today. I had to go to 4 centres via bus to Keke napep to okada to taxi. From 10am-3pm but the joy I felt when I got it made up for it. I refused to give up. Go & collect your PVC. 🇳🇬

@quintdee Exactly. It was after my time.
