As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.

How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.

We finally get down to work when our fear of not achieving anything at all finally trumps our fear of doing something badly.

@AyonDonovan just found this post from you and I have a question. We invalidate a checkout step (shipping) when the user adds new products to the cart. Is it ok to track the step again when the user completes it? Or will it result in duplicated data?

It’s interesting how as I progress in my career, impostor syndrome is very much still there. It just presents itself in new, complex ways.

Giving out equity in startups benefits ownership way more than employees. It allows the owners to push employees harder and harder because “you’ve got skin in the game now… you’re an owner.” No you aren’t. Owning less than 1% of anything isn’t ownership.

It’s ok to have hobbies instead of side-hustles. “You don’t have to monetize your joy.”

Inversion of control is a powerful way of building reusable code when you're not certain of how many use cases exist and don't want to make premature assumptions.

Starting this month, the #Firefox and #Chrome browsers will calculate aspect ratios by getting width and height attributes from img tags. Use it to avoid janky image loading, especially in slow networks 🛠️

Thanks to @jensimmons for the explanation 🙌

Vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together.

Vulnerability builds trust. And trust is the foundation of any relationship.

Something I keep hearing from developers is "Our PO/manager/business says that customers won't pay for refactoring/testing/architecture/quality/etc."

OK, time to call bullshit on this: I'll put good money on the customer never being presented with this option.

X : Any chance we can meet for coffee?
Me : Virtual or in person?
X : In person.
Me : Whereabouts?
X : I'll be in London next month.
Me : Ok, A coffee shop in London Hythe.
X : Where's that.
Me : About 70 miles away.
X : Something a bit more local?
Me : Hythe is local ... to me.

@zac_sky Agreed! I was once in the position where I was celebrating an investment round even though that had no tangible effect on my compensation / career development. It was totally a mood killer.

Off-topic, been watching some of your vids, keep it up 👏
