If it has a digital pulse, I want to know how works.

Give yourself full permission to interview your future managers back. When they ask "Do you have any questions for me," take the opportunity to expose what your next 1+ years under this person might be like.

Here are 5 questions I have or wished I'd asked of my future managers:

[Darren Rollett @DazzaOnTheRoad]

Interesting read, it shows how large organizations if open to transformation could be more customer focused by creating empowered teams. I liked the part about hands on, as I have moved into management I still try to continue to write code!

[Jon Noronha @thatsjonsense]

As a PM, I always wondered what taking the founder plunge would feel like 🥶 Then last year, I finally did. A thread on what early stage startup work has taught me about time, money, team, and what I do all day: 🧵

@majorhayden Check out Talisker distillery, 10 year old is good, they also have some special editions that are worth trying.

@AlaskaAir good to see it is more important to get first class off the plane before emergency services are allowed on to a plane that has just landed.

[Darren Rollett @DazzaOnTheRoad]

@AlaskaAir when are you going to update the status of AS1995 currently showing departed yet we are still sat at the gate.

[Darren Rollett @DazzaOnTheRoad]

@AlaskaAir when are you going to inform passengers that is AS348 is delayed Looks like you rerouted the original plane for this flight.

[Darren Rollett @DazzaOnTheRoad]

@jaybroek Yep definitely jumped into the deep end, although took me a while to figure out how deep. It's going well. Hope things are going well for you.

@klillington @TheRegister Demon was my first internet provider, still have found memories of the tunes the modem played when trying to negotiate a connection.

Different view for me today at Heathrow. At least I get to see a queen of the sky taking off.

Yesterday was my last day with the @mygovscot team. It was a privilege to work such amazing people. Next stop @Starbucks in Seattle.

Interesting what you find when preparing to move. My first every electronics project, IOT in 1988 and not a cloud insight. Also found notes from a thermo fluid mechanics lecture.

If you are a developer, and you feel bad about not knowing everything, I have one item I want you to memorize:

No one knows everything. No one.

The best coders in the world only know a small fraction of everything there is to know about coding.

[Brian P. Hogan @bphogan]

I’ve had some toxic jobs. Lesson learned:

When things go bad, good people leave, eventually followed by people who thought they could change things but got buried because too many good people left. Those left are bad people or hostages.

The good people are your canary.

In the early days we needed Word, PowerPoint and Project before starting development now we just need Jira, post-it notes, sharpies and a wall.
