@armgov @NikolPashinyan wtf you use Yeghern

Prime Minister @NikolPashinyan along with President Vahagn Khachaturyan, President of the National Assembly Alen Simonyan and the country's top leadership visited the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex to pay tribute to the memory of the 1.5 million victims of the Medz Yeghern.

I believe managing "bottom up" is at least equally important as managing reports or the team, as only in that way managers can create a proper vision and predictability for their teams. Unfortunately there are soo few books about how to manage our managers.

@ceilfors DRY can be 2 sides sword. Making things shared is coupling, which brings more harm than benefits in a long term. Refactoring mainly should be done for enabling testing and thus decoupling proposes.

DRY is NOT the only reason to refactor.

I started using scheduled messages functionality of @slack more and more often. It enables my focus time and makes my day more organised. Highly recommend it. #Productivity #Slack

While people discuss with whom @elonmusk took a picture it's been already 7 days since Azerbaijan has closed #Lachin corridor & 120K people are blocked & can't receive goods and medications. It's very much disappointing to see this silence in any western news. #UnitedNations

A scaleup laid off a large % of their employees in order to get to profitability... and weeks later leadership realized they fired too many software engineers to execute, and are trying to hire them back. My take on this situation:

VCs giving advice to startup founders in their first bear market

@EmmaBostian You will actually miss it allot. And most likely you will find it more enjoyable than currently as an engineer.

One of the main things I’m excited about when starting as an engineering manager is coding less. Yes I will still code and will keep my coding skills up to date but it won’t be my primary role and that excites me. I kinda just fell out of love with coding 🤷‍♀️

11 Promises from a Manager: a 🧵 1. We’ll have a weekly 1:1. I’ll never cancel this meeting, but you can cancel it whenever you like. It’s your time.

Didn't code since month or so. Feels so good 😊

As a manager it's very easy to get tempted to use power to pressure people or convince something by manipulation(hiding the info deliberately, etc). One medicine against this is to try to build long term relationship with folks, let's say imagining yourself drinking 🍺 at age 60.

One of the right signs that you do really care about people is giving them feedback. Passing good feedback requires so much preparation. #Feedback
