When I was a kid, my dad had three guidelines he’d constantly remind me of. Now he and I can only remember two of them. So we remind each other to: 1) make eye contact, 2) be aware of what’s going on around you, and 3) that third thing.

[glennburnside @glennburnside]

“Make Eye Contact.”

@jbogard You know you can always press pause and come back to it later, right?

I dare you to demonstrate how old you are in "developer years" in one sentence without stating any actual years

How did reach a point where I have four computers in use sitting on my desk for a “normal” work day?

Start with a well-ordered monolith. Discover which parts of the system actually need to run as an external service. Your first guess on how to divide up your services is going to be wrong anyway. A well-ordered monolith can buy your team a whole lot of runway.

Don't get trade away accuracy for precision! separate your Must work from your Could work.

@jbogard What codebase is this from?

[glennburnside @glennburnside]

@jbogard “Angel dust” is where it’s at for me.

Make the implicit explicit, in whatever you’re doing. Everyone else involved might never notice, but their experience with you will be better for it.

[glennburnside @glennburnside]

I have two episodes of The Expanse left to go, and I’ve decided the best way to make it last as long as possible is….to read the books.

It must be “bring your dog to work” day.

Had a dream last night I was running a @SpartanRace , in the dark, in my street clothes. Then I got lost on the course, went home to take a nap, came back to finish, couldn’t remember where I was on the course, had to start over - With a wheelbarrow of rocks. Woke up exhausted.
