@ChipotleTweets please figure out this online ordering thing! Over 40 mins past the pickup time isn’t really acceptable.

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

@cperruna Same. They’ve been ramping up their sales/ marketing like crazy.

@excid3 @railsconf W00t!!!

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

When standards are baked into a communities philosophy it’s so much easier to maintain good ones. Everyone rows in the same direction naturally.

The longer I stay in this field The more I realize how I’ve been so spoiled by Ruby on Rails

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

Rails by itself is great, but everything around it is designed like I would want it to be if I were to whiteboard it. There is SOOO much value in consistency. Companies try to achieve this through documentation but it doesn’t work like that.

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

@cperruna Recently doubled down

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

@lukeparham We just booked ours! So excited!

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

@AndrewFomera @GoRails That’s awesome dude! 💪🏽

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

@swilliams But I don’t like seeing red in my browser console! Sadly have seen and heard this relatively recently. 😢

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

@AndrewFomera Lies!

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

Giving up on software. Switching to hardware! 😂

Of course, some people know they wouldn't be good managers so I'm NOT saying everyone should go out and be a manager. But if you're on the fence, I'd try it out in as low risk way as you can.

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

A fallacy that seems to be common in software engineering management, is that technical acumen decreases as a manager. I found the exact opposite to be true.

[jimmy_lien @JamesLien]

Essentially, this is my way of encouraging people to not be afraid of management. You'll grow technically and personally at a far greater rate than as an individual contributor.
