Old beliefs do not lead you to new cheese

@keccers It's contagious!

@marieforleo I've heard it another way: We "pay" with our attention! 🙌

[Philip Gannon @SpeakingSW]

It's okay to rely on the kindess of others to get by.
- Share your feelings.
- Ask for help.

Be the kindness that others can rely on to get by.
- Lend an ear.
- Give a hand.

We're all in this together.

Team Leads - please plan for frequent retrospectives!

It's even IN the Agile Manifesto:

"At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly."

No Retro = you're not listening to the team

Doing one of the DeepLearning AI Courses and this gave me a giggle!

The verb should be "pedir" (to ask for/request) instead of "ordenar" (to order, sort, arrange).

AI Translation still has a long way to go; but better than my clumsy spanish at times!😁

@BatsouElef Defensive programming!
Generics and abstractions!
Understand how to make packages in your ecosystem and share/reuse what you write.

[Philip Gannon @SpeakingSW]

@madebygps That sort of attitude won't sell ebooks or courses 🤣

J/K, ppl need to understand you can't make a life-changing career move with a 1 week cram session.

It takes time to learn this stuff, and you're expected to both retain and build on it later. Study for the job, not the exam!

[Philip Gannon @SpeakingSW]

Mentee told me that 5 minutes before an interview, recruiter comes back with "We can get close to your salary requirements with total comp". 😒

Total Comp != Base Salary.
Bonuses are not guaranteed.
StockOptions are worthless.

Don't be fooled; maximize on Base Salary/Cash!

he wrote this in 2009 and some still do leetcode problems on interviews

@KyleMorgenstein A rose (Taxi) by any other name (Uber) is just as sweet...

@dailystoic To paraphrase Jimmy Carr: it's not the pursuit of happiness - it's the happiness of the pursuit

[Philip Gannon @SpeakingSW]

@techgirl1908 All interviews have a point, whether it's looking for fit, technical ability, or introduction to and assessment from different stakeholders of all levels, etc.

You can 'pass' all 3/6/9 rounds and still easily just not get the job. Don't take it for granted!
