@CasavanaMiami Hello -

I ate at the Fort Lauderdale Casavana. The service was great, but the chicken was terrible - chewy and tasteless. I ordered the bistec de pollo.

Can you please refund my bistec de pollo meal? I’m happy to provide the check details privately.

User <> A <> B

A and B are HTTP servers. User supplies a User token to A.

A must call B to fulfill the User request.

How should A call B: with a User token, a Service token, etc?

@samnewman - please advise

To be close minded is to claim infallibility

Don’t complain. It shows weakness. State your observations of the world and how you can change it.

How much had John Stuart Mill’s “On Liberty” book influenced your system at Bridgewater on radical transparency, @RayDalio ?

When others blame, take extreme ownership

@AmericanAir requiring a unique email per mobile boarding pass makes no sense. What? Terrible experience

@allenholub - hi. Who should primarily create “tickets?” Product Manager, Tech Lead, both? Thanks

[Kevin Meredith @Gentmen]

It’s hard to arrive at the truth without arguing.

@shawndgarner My main thought is that software engineers must think like businessmen too. For example, when proposing a plan to the business, consider the impact to the company’s bottom line - not only technical concerns.

[Kevin Meredith @Gentmen]

A shareholder, driven software engineer, makes decisions based on how it will impact the stock price.
