It takes active effort to pretend that you don't know that a white nationalist came up with a list of "peaceful ethnic cleansing" policies he would enact if he ever worked in the Whitehouse, then he got in the Whitehouse, now the policies are here.

I warned y'all about H1-B day.

Thousands of people in Philadelphia continue to protest racism and police brutality following the death of George Floyd. Crowds in Center City stretched from the steps of the Art Museum and past the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul. https://t.co/LlmPCHjz7Q

Last week I sat for an internal interview about my career progression to high level IC engineer, with a focus on how I've never felt I needed to become a manager to gain influence. I thought I would share some of my career advice for aspiring IC "lifers." Thread!

The hard part of operating software is guiding it through change.
Writing code is a small part of this. So is data migration, backwards compatibility, noticing usage and gradual deprecation.

Design a progressive deployment for each change.

[Will Larson @Lethain]

Rapid growth leads to a lot of broken windows, and sometimes a new leader's first reaction is pointing them out and proposing new fixes. Followed by disappointment if folks aren't very receptive. This is a misunderstanding of needs! https://t.co/8vkiEqND3c

this thread reminds me that I have had a couple of vendor-related thoughts spinning around in my head.

the first is: we are all selling something. if you are employed as an engineer, you are selling something too. https://t.co/ovJ5cIBoZR

[Randy Shoup @randyshoup]

Engineers provide value by solving business problems in a disciplined way. In my experience most working engineers underappreciate how critically important it is for us to contribute these skills and this training to help our business partners refine problem and solution.

You need a PaaS to better exploit Big Data ... I couldn't agree more.
