Engineering Manager @Prima_Eng. I prefer people over technology. The best products are built by motivated teams

Most of us who work on heavily used systems at scale saw this one coming, and that they would propose a rewrite as they just have, and we also don’t think this is the answer.

This is why hubris is a very counterproductive quality in engineering.

Why do we all agree on this?

Educating a team slows you down for a week or two. Not educating the team slows you down forever. Time spent in learning is never wasted.

⏰ Right here, right now:

The talk "Dockersing and deploying a full stack Rust + WASM web app" by Angelo Rendina is happening at #rustlab2022.

We are super excited to sponsor @rustlab_conf that will take place in Florence in October! Can't wait to meet you all there! #rustlab2022: https://t.co/x43VxiOgaW

This came up in conversation today. Completely forgot that I drew this!

@KentBeck @swardley have you any content on this relationship I could refer people to?

A periodic reminder. TDD is a development, not a testing, strategy. I augment TDD tests with micro/unit tests as I work, though. You need both.

Here are a few thoughts on things I wish I knew when I was first a tech lead...

A "walking skeleton" is the best way I found to kickstart a complex project.
Get something up and running, quickly, that does _almost_ nothing. Then iterate.

It works, but it's so hard to resist the temptation to polish before the end-to-end journey is up and running.

Lot of fires, it's super hot, water is scarce...time to act on climate change i guess...waiting is not anymore an option (it never was to be honest)

Here's the footage of System 002 extraction on July 10th and another 7787kg of plastic out of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

On July 13, 2022, Earth satellites captured temperatures rising above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) due to extreme, record-breaking heatwaves across much of Europe, Africa, and Asia: https://t.co/tD6DmpXMyz

[Mélanie Vogel @Melanie_Vogel_]

More that 59°C was measured on the soil surface in Spain 🇪🇸 and 48°C in the south on France 🇫🇷.

This is not « just summer ».

It is « just hell » and will pretty soon become « just the end of human life » if we continue with our climate inaction.

At Prima we ❤️ #Rust and that's why two weeks ago we begun our internal Rust Reading Group where we talked about the 1st chapter of "Rust for Rusteceans" by Jon Gjengset.
This Friday we'll continue our discussion by diving deep into "Type, Generics, Traits & Traits Objects" 🦀💪

Are you a senior engineer wishing to transition to management? Or perhaps a manager looking to improve?

I’ve delivered 100+ features over last 10+ yrs as an Engineer/Manager/Director.

Here is a lesson I learned 3yrs ago that changed the game:

A bad & unclear decision (yet intentional) is better than no decision in 99% of cases.

This might seem extreme/unproductive, but isn’t
