@thijsniks Ooh this is an excellent point. Let me know if you find anything

When someone disagrees with you online & demands you prove your point to their satisfaction by writing a logically sound defense, u can save a lot of time by not doing that.

Dude, I’ve known u for ten seconds & enjoyed none of them, I’m not taking homework assignments from you.

When in a high leverage role:

Stop doing work that simply provides a positive return on investment.

Start focusing on work that minimizes opportunity cost.

Hiring more people and scaling teams does not automatically solve all your problems, it creates a new set of problems and challenges to solve.

Scaling teams isn’t just about adding people, it’s about improving and building processes, defining roles, and scaling communication.

Overheard in Central Park: “ever since I learned the lamppost trick, I don’t ever worry about getting lost in the park.”

(The lamppost trick: top 2 numbers are the nearest cross street; if the last number is odd, you’re on the west side; even and you’re on the east.)

Be careful out there! When your iOS app is running on a Mac with Apple Silicon it will ignore #availability checks.

Much crashing. Very bad.

Thanks to this thread for the workaround: https://t.co/3ptde4kwQJ

Why are so many devs quitting their jobs? Better offers, remote flexibility, more benefits..

Better question, why aren’t companies doing more to keep their current engineering teams happy?
