@liveon4legspod Thunder Bay! It was almost like a small club show.

@jbogard I have an AzureSQL Docker container running in MacOS (M1) that can be accessed by apps running in my Parallels Windows VM. Would sharing my setup steps help you?

[Kurt Wiersma @kwiersma]

@jbogard I am usually able to find the highlights replay on YouTube. I am not sure why it isn’t easy to access on Peacock.

@CARROT_app can you zip your maker every day he doesn’t work on getting you to run as an Apple Silicon version of your Mac app or give us an update on when he might do that? 😛

@ArmchairDeity @nathanstrutz @gamesover JetBrains DataGrip might be another option to explore. It comes most of the other JetBrains IDEs if you happen to already have access to one of those. https://t.co/nFv0Soexxe

1/ "Leadership is a repeatable skill, not an art." Over 25 years ago, I attended a leadership session at Netscape, run by Jim Barksdale. It was a single hour that profoundly impacted my career.

@jesterxl Manager Tools is a good podcast with some great back content. It isn’t software engineer specific though. https://t.co/GiH5YwRppf

Today one of my team said to me that he thought my job was to create the conditions where people could choose to be happy at work, and the rest was up to them. I really love this way of expressing the power and boundaries of management.

@KCThrash I always thought Russell Crowe would be great to play Eddie Vedder in a movie since they look alike with right hair setup.

@boyzoid @Spotify That is good to know. I was always surprised I couldn’t do that and hoped the people paying could do it. 😀

[Kurt Wiersma @kwiersma]

@boyzoid @Spotify Is that a paid account feature? I have not ever been able to do that. Maybe I am doing it wrong?

@boyzoid @timcunningham71 @coldfumonkeh @AdamTuttle @marcesher Epic!

This Pearl Jam fan podcast episode is probably the best episode I have ever listened too. Amazing to hear a backstage story from a fan who won a charity contest to meet the band and help with the set list. https://t.co/PJE9oLkdvC

@jesterxl You should follow @kelseyhightower if you aren’t already.

@liveon4legspod Thunder Baaaaaay!

[Sergio Pereira @SergioRocks]

Invest in your employees so they can leave your company. Treat them well so they don't want to do it.

My motto for running happy teams.

[Kurt Wiersma @kwiersma]

@tomlommel This might be the best thing I heard all week if this is true.

[Sergio Pereira @SergioRocks]

- "Do you have 5 minutes?"

If you're a manager, do NOT send such messages to people in your team. They may be stressed with layoff announcements across the industry.

Please add some context, such as:
- "Do you have 5 minutes to discuss feature X?"

It makes ALL the difference!

@charliegriefer What helped me was to get one external 5k screen and use that with the laptop screen. The code and Slack messages look so smooth! 😀
