I hate that this is the most accurate video I’ve ever seen

The pneumonia outbreak in China has led some of the usual suspects to wheel out the 'immunity debt' nonsense. We need a new story for the immune system. Here's one about snakes🧵

"Hotfix" is just a euphemism for "our regular process is so slow that we can't use it in a situation where we would actually need it most urgently."

Will cloud adoption fail systemically across the market as organizations become completely unable to successfully staff major cloud initiatives? https://t.co/dNkG1ENk4z

What would you expect to see in an #aspnetcore cloud-focused API project template? Options, structure, packages, code, etc.

@DamianEdwards @davidfowl Logging (an impl of ILogger like Serilog) with a sink to the relevant Cloud provider’s managed service (CloudWatch) correlated to auto-instrumented OpenTelemetry tracing & health indicators exported to some metrics system (think Prometheus on k8s for liveness & readiness probes).

[Emily Kager @EmilyKager]

the hardest part of software engineering is finding someone who
1. knows why we did that
2. still works at the company
3. is not on PTO / sabbatical

@thinksatnight @GreekAnalyst Δεν νομίζω ότι παίζει ιδιαίτερο ρόλο η ηλικία. Υπάρχουν πολλοί 30+ ετών μηχανικοί στην Θεσσαλονίκη (γιατί εκεί αναφερόταν το OG DM) που αμείβονται ικανοποιητικά. Η ειδοποιός διαφορά είναι η ικανότητα να μαθαίνουν συνεχώς πάνω στο εκάστοτε γνωστικό αντικείμενο τους.

[Panos Tsilopoulos @tsilopoulos]

@GreekAnalyst Ενδεικτικό της αποσύνδεσης με την αγορά εργασίας είναι ότι big4 κλπ παρόμοιου μεγέθους εταιρίες στην Ελλάδα, προσφέρουν apprenticeships επικεντρωμένες σε job skills και συνδεδεμένες με προσφορά εργασίας με το πέρας του προγράμματος. Certifications go a long way too on that matter

[Panos Tsilopoulos @tsilopoulos]

@GreekAnalyst Η προσδοκία για επαγγελματική αποκατάσταση straight outta college σε tech (μάλλον εννοεί software ο συγγραφέας) ρόλους, λίγη επικάλυψη έχει με το γνωστικό αντικείμενο του CompSci curriculum ελληνικών πανεπιστημίων.

Sticking around a product long enough to understand the trade offs of one’s design choices ON THE FIELD, possibly deal with the consequences thereof and evolve said design to better facilitate the business needs is the kind of experience we should aspire to as tech professionals.

Really good thoughts by @danluu about how underrated tenure is. I agree with him.

My thoughts in tenure, as shared last year in a piece about promotions, answering the question to job hop to get promoted or stay.

Weigh tenure as well, especially as you gain more experience.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.
