Gonna be off Twitter for a while to try the Fediverse for real👋

@escapedcat I had good experience with github.com/pyenv/pyenv and python-poetry.org ymmv

at one point in time someone needs to explain me how to have reasonable pyhton version setup on OSX... i do not know what i'm doing and it's confusing af

Last day at BRYTER 🥲

To whom it may concern: tell interviewees about your values and culture. If you celebrate hustle culture, expect 8am-6pm availability and want your employees to put work first at all times - say so.

@idanmelamed „Traditional notions of management are great if you want compliance. But if you want engagement, self-direction works better.“—Daniel Pink

Any good quotes about giving decision power to the people doing the work?

@SteveSmith_Tech Other ideas, not the greatest 😅 „No offense without a great defense - the How and Why of protecting your bottom line“ „Cash Cows - What you can learn from the most profitable teams in any company“

@SteveSmith_Tech Are you trying to improve the sentiment towards „maintenance mode“? As a listener I am much more interested in what you want share. The word would potentially distract from that. So „How to protect your business“ > „How to protect your business with maintenance mode“

Can anyone think of a clever name for a conference talk on maintenance mode? 🙏 My ideas suck: how to protect your business with maintenance mode how to win at maintenance mode why developers should do maintenance mode applying product thinking to maintenance mode teams

@schmonz Just using git

@Niklas_L How did you manage the branches -- directly with git or via mob.sh configuration?

Trying mob.sh in a new scenario. Challenges: 1. Two simultaneous sessions on the same repo 2. Each session involving multiple repos MOB_WIP_BRANCH_QUALIFIER and myrepos.branchable.com are my ideas. What are yours, please? #MobProgramming #EnsembleProgramming

You don't want to invest in new features for an IT service any more! Is that...

@schmonz When there is more than one team working on the same repo we would usually work on different branches and do „mob done“ and merge into main at the end of the session. It worked well for us.

More about (1): When two ensembles are using mob.sh on the same repo, they’ll trample on each other’s work without meaning to. MOB_WIP_BRANCH_QUALIFIER looks like (if *everyone* sets it correctly) the two sessions will each have a distinct working branch.

In my search for the next job, I could confirm that there are two clearly distinct engineering salary tiers. However the only „big tech“ company on the list that I applied to was „only“ in the second tier as well. blog.pragmaticengineer.com/software-engin…

@leftieFriele The company is quite young and they are still a small team. The engineer, who seemingly designed the tasks, shared that they have made a negative experience at a previous company, where a junior got through an interview process for a senior position. They aren’t a lost cause 😉

I recently had a technical interview with a coding part. It’s such a distressing experience. Even though I know that I can do everything the interviewers expected, when put on the spot like this, everything becomes so much harder.

@abdullin For pet projects, I have no tolerance for maintenance work. Serverless is great for that. I currently use these: Hosting and Functions netlify.com Database cockroachlabs.cloud AuthZ auth0.com

Which cloud provider do you prefer for your pet projects?

🙈 58 companies in total. Not all remote.

One week ago I started actively looking for a new position. It’s an intense process: 116 inbound messages 58 remote companies on my list 14 initial conversations (~30min) 5 very promising options I’ll do this for one more week, then I will transition to interviewing 🏃‍♂️

Good article about the dangers of employee churn. baldurbjarnason.com/2022/theory-bu…

@ArghRich Alright! In a nutshell, my argument is this: I can do DDD and Hexagonal Architecture in almost any language or (web)-framework. But a lot of datastores have very different non-functional tradeoffs and functional tradeoff so needs more careful decision making.

@Niklas_L Being a big believer in DDD and hexagonal architecture, I‘d like to fight you on that. 🤓

Unpopular opinion: which datastore you choose matters more than which programming language or framework.

@JoanneD_ They created a record based on my public information, which is probably legal, but then attached a note to it regarding the reason I wasn’t interested at that time. I never gave my consent for that information to be processed and stored, but I am not sure they need it.

@Niklas_L Interesting scenario. You can determine the answer here dataprotection.ie/en/dpc-guidanc…

I had a call with a talent manager from a company and they referenced details from a private conversation I had, with another talent manager of theirs, on LinkedIn from over two years ago. I am almost certain this is a violation of the #GDPR 🤔
