Very niche, but I'm hoping someone on the Internet benefits daneweber.wordpress.com/2022/10/15/yar…

@dawntherese I'm not sure if I can really endorse the pump I inherited with this house, but it's a Diversitech CP-22.

@dawntherese Oh no! Flooding? After too many water incidents I was ready to replace my condensate pump, but got more life out of it by making a new float and starting to use treatment tablets to prevent the scum buildup that was gumming it up. So far I'm not a big fan of owning a home.

@Starr_Chen Not directly to your question: it seems important to figure out how to teach/learn lessons without having to live through the bad experiences.

IMO it depends on learning styles, this is probably better for folks who don't do well under stress -- as long as the best practices are being actively taught and discussed on the team! Not helpful if things "just work" with no explanation as to why or how.

In a 1:1 today I wondered aloud something: Does a junior engineer's learning opportunities shrink if they join a very high-functioning team? Many people cite outages or other bugs as crucial learning moments in their careers, so...

@danluhring For your personal shell or other folks' machines (including containers/VMs)?

I'd love a `grep` option for always printing the first line even if it doesn't match, for headers / column names...

@Honer_CUT Are audiobook versions in the future? Ordering the ink & paper versions in the meantime.

I just clicked a few links because I was sharing the Lean Coffee format and discovered that Jeremy Lightsmith founded Transparent Classroom after a career as a developer and consultant. 🤔 How did you did you it, @lightsmith?

I really value quick feedback loops and hate seeing PRs get stale. Even so, it was a real struggle to pause my coding flow to review a teammate's work.

@engineering_bae It's tough. I really missed the code as a manager and found joy in creating scripts/automation to improve the developer experience.

After 7 months of being a manager at Spotify, I merged my first PR into production. It was a smol config change, but your girl is hype 😂🙌🏾🔥I’m feeling slightly like an engineer again 🤠

I’m happy to say that I have succeeded in running Docker Desktop within a MacOS guest VM on a MacOS host machine. 🎉 This was to test automated setup scripts for a better developer experience. daneweber.wordpress.com/2022/05/10/doc…

@paul_boos @ponderings @sjkilleen But still, I'd love to see such a thing and contribute to it, since it might be a great resource for learning about good tools and practices.

@paul_boos @ponderings @sjkilleen I will say: while such examples may make nice illustrations or be rallying cries, they can also be distractions, since every tool or practice will likely have at least one good counter-example.

@tottinge I've talked to developers about "write-optimized" vs. "read-optimized" code. As in, the code was written as quickly as possible, vs. the code was written with extra time spent to make it easier for future developers to read.

What term would you use for this code, understanding that I'm not judging it to be immoral or immorally made, just impractical and expensive?

I want a better term than "bad code" because that sounds like an ethical/moral judgment on inanimate artifacts. Some code works, but it's ... whatever

In my feed just now. 🍿

This is quite the roundup of anti-MBA study results: cbsnews.com/news/mba-degre…

@atyborska93 -- thank you for helping make the Elixir track in @exercism_io! I'm really enjoying it when I have the chance to progress and wrap my head around the language.

@engineering_bae Yes. I have found many problems trace back to differing expectations. I've tried to do a better job sharing my expectations, but this is a great nudge to be extra explicit with them.

I think I may implement this with my team!
