Full admiration of the design on https://t.co/BL4SOaLUQF this year and then find out that of course it’s brilliant, @StrangeNative was involved.

Having followed Russ’ work for _years_ it was joyful to love it and only realise afterwards who’s detailed attention was all over it

[Dan Blundell @danblundell]

@grimalkina @Geek_Manager It’s so good and so beautifully thought through

I'm looking for a freelance podcast producer/editor to work with us @TheLeadDev, know anyone good?

[Dan Blundell @danblundell]

@Lanooba No way. Such a talent loved every character I’ve seen him play, gutted.

[Dan Blundell @danblundell]

Can completely vouch for this, learning about the people around you through shared language and understanding gives so much context for trust and confidence to build between you ❤️#leadingengnyc

[Meri 8x💉“Exiled for Good of the Realm” Williams @Geek_Manager]

“Even if personality tests aren’t objectively valuable, the shared language to discuss preferences is super helpful” @mariagutierrez #LeadingEngNYC

[Dan Blundell @danblundell]

So excited for @QcMaude sharing experiences of load testing at massive scale over at @SlackHQ #StaffPlusNYC 🎉🎉🎉

[K. Adam White @kadamwhite]

How do you scale something like Slack? Maude Lemaire shares the evolution of their load testing toolset, from "API Blaster" to being able to simulate MILLIONS of clients.
(My good camera battery died but the #StaffPlusNYC conf lineup hasn't, two more after this!)

“Operating as a staff engineer is as much of a leadership role as being a manager” - @ibkajila of @ShopifyEng

Fascinating to hear staff engineers were asking for development areas in leadership as managers were; 1:1s, feedback, alignment etc

[Dan Blundell @danblundell]

@mattgruter of @SpotifyEng talking about the diff between maturity of a technology and the maturity of the adoption of that technology in actual real life teams was unnervingly familiar…in a good way, obviously 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #leaddevnyc

[Dan Blundell @danblundell]

Incidents: we should ask our selves the question “why did it make sense to do that?” #leaddevnyc

@nora_js on how we can learn so much from from incidents by collaborating and taking the time to dig deeper, it can ultimately make us better leaders and find opportunities 🙏🏻

[Dan Blundell @danblundell]

The good kind of tech debt and why it’s important to solve the hard problems first. @jonrthornton with a wonderfully focused talk on how to do tech debt right at #leaddevnyc

[Dan Blundell @danblundell]

@nora_js Oh there are so many ways I’ve tried to wangle a way to be over to see you folks! You’ll have a blast I’m sure, it looks like an amazing event and line up ❤️

9 Days until @LFISoftware #LFIConf23

Have you bought your ticket?

Some talks will be recorded. But there is a whole “secret” track full of incident stories — the ones that didn’t make the headlines. The ones you’ve been wondering… “what actually happened internally?”
