If you're interacting with humans, you're performing public speaking.

Dedicate 1 hour to the "How to speak" class by Professor Winston, it's a masterpiece that will give you solid basis to improve how you prepare and speak.

A pattern I've seen:

- the 1st time I do something new and hard, I'm terrified.
- the 2nd time I'm exhilarated.
- the 3rd time I'm enthusiastic
- the 10th time it's rote
- the 20th time it's boring

Go do new stuff.

@mooreds What's wild is that the days of the week correspond to the planets in the following order:

sun, moon, mars, mercury, jupiter, venus, saturn

And this is true in Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi, Gujarati, Korean, and Japanese.

Unpopular opinion but Java is actually a great language with an extremely high performance JVM that also has sub millisecond garbage collection cycles. Most complaints besides potentially max memory usage is just cope.

Nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked

People will remember:
- how much time you spent trying to understand SAML

@c_hewitt_ Being helpful, 1000%. Younger Dan would have answered 'being right', but younger Dan was wrong.

Being right == playing the short game
Being helpful == playing the long game

I gotta say, I find this conversation a bit boring.

Ofc there are times to use library provided auth (don't roll your own, but one built in to a framework is fine).

There's also times when a managed auth service offers capabilities/scale you couldn't build on your own.

You may have heard me say: If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late

@samjulien I think part of adulting is accepting you can't do all the things. That would make 20 year old me sad, but 40ish year old me is fine with it.

It turns into a question of priorities.

You only have so much time, money and energy, and pretending otherwise is foolish.

[Dan Moore @mooreds]

SQL/relational databases give you so much. Sure, they have scaling issues if you reach a certain (large) size, but ACID, well known patterns, tooling, and vertical scaling can take you a long long way.
