15 years of professional experience and counting.

Let’s draw a retrospective on productivity and see what is wasteful and how we can do things better.

Start reading from the middle, Waste!

@maddybaum I don't know, but it looks nice!

What should I do to the next person that sends me my new AWS account username and password...
- on a spreadsheet attachment
- in an email
- with 4 other people in CC?😡

I really liked this article about Self Care in Software Engineering.

@type__error Mine is partying when I stand up from my desk!

[Alexandros 🤓 Spyropoulos @rxjs_cnsr]

@WonderWanny Fair enough!

[Alexandros 🤓 Spyropoulos @rxjs_cnsr]

@m_ou_se True

@IanGoddard88 It’s not a priority for the businesses. Then that reinforces the no docs culture as people are only praised for delivering features.

@DeepanjaliPande I write code on paper on a sticky situation when I want to slow down and think through what I’m doing, instead of smashing the keyboard doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.

It helps my monkey brain think.

Sure, other devs code faster, but, my code works as expected.

Hey @freetrade, I use @emma_finance to save and manage my money. It would be great to see you joining the party! 🐻🎉 #OpenAPIs https://t.co/O1Cqxvm97Y

@DeepanjaliPande I write code on paper to slow down and think instead of smashing commands on the keyboard and hope for the best.

When I’m interviewing, I don’t expect to compile their code from paper.

I’m probing for familiarity with the language and thought process.

Just got my ticket for #nextjsconf by @vercel, claim yours!

Let's make the Web. Faster.

Elite Dangerous is a textbook case of bad management and the snowball effect of differing telling the truth and being honest to the clients.

It's sad to see a 50 years old franchise being torn apart in two years.

@litzycodes To begin with, congratulations!

An interview is a two way street. At the end of it, both sides have to be confident they can work with each other. Ask questions. Make sure you like them too.

Your interviewer is as stressed as you.

The time for the interview is enough.

[Alexandros 🤓 Spyropoulos @rxjs_cnsr]

@techevangelista BTW instead of calling people time wasters, you might need to learn how to ask good questions.

There are at least a hundred of people asking the same generic question every day.

Most people answered your question because they try to be nice.

[Alexandros 🤓 Spyropoulos @rxjs_cnsr]

@techevangelista If you want to put these languages into a job hunting context.

Python, great for data science stuff. It can also power back end applications.

Golang, one of the most intuitive languages I ever picked up. I made a REST server and I only had to google once or twice.

[Alexandros 🤓 Spyropoulos @rxjs_cnsr]

@techevangelista IMHO, first you need to answer, what do you want to do.

At the moment, I’m trying to find any excuse to use python or golang.
