@GergelyOrosz Burnout risk on the engineering management path feels to be up. I have multiple talented folks in my line of sight who were primed & waiting for the opportunity to switch from IC but walked back observing what the expectation is for the role.
@GergelyOrosz Unanswered Oddities is also a niche, AI-generated series that I love (a really funny one if you're into such things) https://t.co/WhgREPFxsY
Adult life is when you chicken out at the end of the steam deck purchase flow 3 times, in the end spend the budget on a multi-zone thermostat instead due to your conscience - and are equally excited about them
"Estimating all projects is devilishly difficult, and estimating large projects is virtually impossible. Yet we insist that what hasn't worked for sixty years will definitely work on this next project, if we all just try a little harder. Delusional." https://t.co/qaJikYDHd5
@GergelyOrosz Lately I tend to use 1Password for 2FA as well. Yes, it comes with a bit more risk but the convenience is just too great.
And migrating to passkeys wherever possible.

@scarletinked Besides being a bottleneck, it's also a sticky one. If left unattended, an org will accrue 10x more process than what is getting removed because that's the path of least resistance.
@frankdejonge Reminds me of the infamous 'SQL or NoSQL?' system design interview question. There's a meta-game to it i think - as you respond you need to map the level of understanding of your interviewer, e.g. how aware they are of aspects that you mention here.
As people come to terms with the weight of our new environment, they are slowly beginning to realize how radically things have changed. One area in particular that has changed - the required level of "corporate performance" needed to simply survive (let alone thrive). 🧵
