If 90% of problems you bump into aren’t worth solving, then level 1 and level 6 are 90% the same

design has to be in the founding DNA of your company for it to be a forever priority

otherwise it won’t seep through every corner of your org like it needs to because it becomes an uphill battle to justify its place

you can buy it and hire it, but it won’t be the same

@deBeauxOs1 Don’t get gaslit. I pay more taxes than anyone. Almost all taxes come from top 1% earners. We pay for all the stuff you like and that’s fine. Government workers are the ones who don’t pay their fair share (they are your employees). Ask more of them.

@rauchg So push-based queues are going to be supported? That means we can finally migrate the last bits of GCP.

@rauchg We’re getting daily anomaly alerts from Vercel due to our nightly sync jobs. We don’t want to turn off notifications - we just need more granular configuration options.🤕

@rauchg @rtwlz Consider documenting the improvements publicly - it’s always nice to get insights into where you ended up gaining the most, even though general common pitfalls are already laid out.

There'll always be more emails in need of reply, more meetings to attend, and more updates to read. A person can fill the entire workweek with these tasks over and over again. But to stay sane and sharp, you must pay yourself first by doing the work that actually means something to you.

I feel this acutely as someone responsible to employees, customers, followers, and readers. I could do nothing all day but check up on projects, people, and posts, but my brain would quickly check out if it was just doing that.

So quite frequently, I just don't. Don't check in, don't check up, and instead dive into the work that checks my own intellectual boxes. Programming for the love of it. Experimenting for the hell of it. Researching for the fun of it.

In another age, I might have been tempted to apologize for such privilege, but screw that. Privilege is wonderful. You should do your best to earn more of it. Even if you have to carve it out of the bare rocks around you.

Ironically, the best way to do that is also to choose to always pay yourself first, however little at first. By solving your own problems, tickling your own interests, chasing your own curiosity. That's where you'll find the motivation to elevate your talent. To turn interest into competency.

And once you've developed some competency, you'll be rewarded with more privilege to build it further. This is the virtuous circle of merit.There'll always be an endless list of work that could be done.

You'll never get through it all and onto your own priorities, if you continue to put them at the bottom.

@ninepixelgrid I'm lost for words

One of the many things I learned from @gentry about design is the idea of *informed simplicity*

[Mathias Piletti @matis_dk]

@makwarth @bucketdotco Looks great!

[Guillermo Rauch @rauchg]

The true unlock is connecting the real builders, engineers, and designers of your products, directly with your audience. Authentic, no loss of technical fidelity, customer-centric. Feedback flows faster, fixes go out faster, trust builds.

Every drug becomes toxic at a high enough dose, so you always use the "minimum effective dose": just enough to get the benefits, and no more.

The same is true with DevOps: every tool & technique has a cost, so you should use the "minimum effective dose of DevOps," too.
