You eventually hit the point in tech where tech just won’t solve your real problem. Process, culture, and consistency will end up fixing your problem over time

Too much time is spent verifying if something is “just happening for me” when dealing with shared resources

Making hard things easy is a key sign of innovation, like devops in the mid 2010s, the process of managing infrastructure and deploying frequently was an arduous process. Docker, github actions, serverless… all made these painful pieces of work way more approachable and easy

When I was little I thought software engineering was hard because programming was hard. Now, the code is easy but it’s the people around the code that make software engineering hard🙃

@moonpolysoft Can’t forget the greek/norse mythologies either. Always a fan when Zeus authenticates with Odin 🤝

Flexibility in letting the right people handle a task is key to a fast org. You may not currently be assigned to UAT bugs but if you are the domain expert in that buggy area you’ll likely fix it faster than anybody else

I wonder what percentage of “non engagers” makeup a given social media platform and if that correlates to public perception

@nikitabier It sounds so simple: if your friend comes over and you talk about concert tickets, and your friend googles the band, google notices that your friend’s device was on your wifi and searched the band, and then sends you an ad because you and your friend have similar google profiles

The dumbest thing I hear is “Facebook listens to your conversations” My coworkers were a bunch of risk-averse MBAs who’d never build something that cool. So why do you see ads for something you talked about? It’s because your life is predictable & the ad algorithm is that good.

@SamAllenX Sucks that this behavior is incentivized as many promotions are based on engineering impact, so people jump at the chance to build anything new

Quality instruction exists everywhere, the frustrating part is figuring out how to signal high quality to the lowest common denominator

@clemmihai I would caveat this with “building” doesn’t just mean code. Wireframing a userflow early will save a ton of engineering hours upfront. Frames are cheap, code is not

So you're a Software Engineer and you wanna build a business? Great, here are 4 tips: 1) Start building *today*. You have the luxury of knowing how to code and therefore being able to build a prototype, for free, today. Start building.

Seamless needs to be able to localize chain restaurants when reordering. I don’t care which chipotle I ordered from in the past, I just want my order to be remembered and to have it figure out which chipotle is closest to me and order from that one
