@KatyCodesStuff There is no "right way" technically. Most code is thrown away in less than two years. Focus on impressing your project sponsors more than other developers.

@rexm lol, yeah, I've just dealt with too many of those managers.

[Scott Drake @tscottdrake]

@scott_inthe902 @TimSackett Unfortunately, most managers can only think about management through the mechanistic lens of consistency and efficiency. I say unfortunately because most human work is shifting to the creative/people side and must be managed organically.

[Scott Drake @tscottdrake]

@TimSackett Agree that it's all about fit. There's no right or wrong. The magic happens when there's a match between an authentic person and an authentic organization. It's why it's important for both sides to discover who they can make happy.

@GregoryMcKeown I was better at this pre-covid when travel was easier. We lost most of our relaxation activities and have struggled to replace them.

@scottamabry If it adds to my stress I unfollow. And about everything political these days adds to my stress.

[Scott Drake @tscottdrake]

@debuggist Unfortunately. Unless we want to burn out ourselves and our team.

Crawls out of bunker. Looks around. Says: "I hear in-person tech conferences will be back next year?" Submitted to @CodeStock last week. Where is everyone going to be speaking in the Midwest in 2022?

@MercedesAMGF1 @amgmotorsport @PET_Motorsports Are you going to send the bill to @redbullracing ?

[Scott Drake @tscottdrake]

@jasoncwarner I've done some work in this area. Happy to help.

[Scott Drake @tscottdrake]

@Leadershipfreak Budget your people time/commitments like most people budget money.

@debuggist IndyCar has been great the last couple of years. Good crop of young drivers.

Education System:

[Scott Drake @tscottdrake]

@shaneparrish Important concept, and a key is to leave some slack and not be all in all the time. Without some capacity available, you won't be able to go after that fat pitch when it arrives.

@robmay I pointed out a conservative friend's victim mentality two months ago and his head exploded. He also hasn't talked to me since.

[Scott Drake @tscottdrake]

@robmay My hope is he's in jail.

@BobBurg @MichelleObama Please make similar suggestions to our friends on the right. There are plenty of opportunities on the tweetstream of @realDonaldTrump and many others.
