Making adult decisions is hard. Can I just go back to not having responsibilities? 😅

[Patrick Young @pattywhack_]

@engineering_bae I love to read this! We’re rooting for you!

The Whale. Heartbreaking, unnerving, and extraordinary. I’m not gonna be able to shake that one. @A24

If you feel gratitude for someone, tell them. Especially if you don’t think they hear it often.

Do you ever have the worst thoughts come up before bedtime? I’m having the worst imposter syndrome at the moment 😅

@iSpeakTai ❤️ I’m proud of you, Tai! Always have been and always will be.

What do you do to mentally checkout from work when you log off for the day?

This right here is the exact reason why I became an eng manager. I’m tired of engineers having managers+ that don’t care or treat them as human beings. We ALL deserve better and that’s what I hope to bring to my team. This is horrible & I feel sorry for those affected

This is a cautionary tale in workplace environments. I've worked under Luke, and this didn't come out of nowhere. My very first interaction with him, I could tell he was a jerk. The problem is people excuse jerky behavior from men if they're "successful".

@bellesthetics I’d still buy it if I had the money

@sarah_edo @SheCodeAfrica So excited for this!!

[Patrick Young @pattywhack_]

@addyosmani just gave an amazing talk on building effective teams and what it takes to make that happen! I particularly liked this slide he shared that showed what effective teams at Google look like #LeadDevSanFrancisco

[Patrick Young @pattywhack_]

I also want to put it out there in the universe that I hope to one day be up on that stage speaking to other leaders and helping them where I can. This role has been a dream come true and helping grow developers helps fulfill my purpose.

[Patrick Young @pattywhack_]

Being at #LeadDevSanFrancisco has been amazing so far! Many great talks and workshops that will leave an impact on me and help me implement new ideas in my work. Grateful to be here learning from so many wonderful people!
