@dabearsblog I once did 9 straight at the Empire 25 in Times Square. I arrived at 9am and left just before 3.

@ADannehy @DMRussini I liked Robert’s point about how Poles chose team-building over maximizing draft capital. In the end, the impact of this approach is dwarfed by whether or not they get the first pick right and set up (probably) Caleb for success.

@andybudd As their manager, privately remind them your goal is to help them succeed. Ask what support they need from you to succeed. Also be clear with stakeholders that the result was not acceptable. We failed to deliver and we need to own that. Explain what is changing and why.

@andybudd 1. Have a retro and write down what went well and what didn’t. 2. PM should put padding on any estimate from an IC. 3. Next time, align on a clear goal, constraints, and a timeline for feedback before you start.

Leadership scenario. A PM has complained about one of your designers. The PM asked for a time estimate. The designer was initially evasive but when pushed said 5 days. Hitting the deadline was important as the sales team needed UI visuals for a big pitch.

Hello! I have some professional news. Yesterday was my last day at Etsy. That’s still a little weird to me, but I am _pumped_ to have a couple weeks to chill. Relatedly, I am accepting movie, donut, and restaurant recommendations (in Denver, preferably).

Eventually, I want to share more about my decision to move on, but for now I’ll say that I grew a lot as an engineer and person during my time at Etsy. There are so many fantastic people who made the days fun and helped me navigate a large engineering org for the first time.

After a short break, I’ll be joining Fastly at the end of the month as a staff engineer. I am positively CHUFFED to be given this opportunity. Also, I’ll get to work alongside a small, but powerful, contingent of Six Apart alumni. What a killer group of humans, amirite?

Dear Netflix, I promise you the last thing I want you to do is start automatically playing a show while I’m reading the description.

“It’s none of your business. What the hell do you care if someone smushed a pizza down the shaft.” I told him it doesn’t matter what business it is of anyones. It is a wild thing to do and one “that you or I wouldn’t be able to imagine doing.” Then he told it was him. Fin

Tonight I had dinner with my sister and our cousin who is doing a summer program and living in a dorm. In the course of hearing about how mischief and horseplay is policed, I remembered the following story about mischief and punishment in my dorm, which I feel I’ve never told.
