OKRs are a really awesome technique, but I actively try to keep my clients from using them. sendfox.com/ryanlatta/c/le…

@johannarothman @johncutlefish I've also witnessed this. Enough times that I can't regard it as an exception.

May not seem like much, but tech companies do things with data at massive scale. So their ability to comply is usually set on an extreme of can’t do it at all or can do all of it.

For those who don’t know, CCPA is a privacy bill in CA that gives its residents a lot of rights to its data. Rights like disclosure of its use, ability to download it all, and even have it deleted. Companies pay penalties up to $7500 each time they can’t perform.

You know, I wonder what would happen if a major social network got flooded with CCPA notices from residents in CA while it was in turmoil.

@mattbarcomb And here I always looked at it as, “We are currently looking for the next deck of lies from a consultancy.”

@HiredThought It’s hard to come up with a strategy with a user you don’t know and a need they don’t have.

@johncutlefish They don’t. They have a quartermaster.

How JavaScript developers create new projects

@ThePracticalDev Everyone hits them at some point. Most senior folks are all at the same plateau. I found concepts like SOLID to be a culprit. TDD can get you past it because it forces a paradigm shift.

Time for #DevDiscuss! Tonight’s topic is… “Skill plateaus” - Tell us about a time when you hit a skills plateau (coding or otherwise). - What concept in coding do you think leads to the most plateaus? - How can coders level up their skills when they’ve hit a plateau?

You have ONE WEEK to save yourself £300! Book before Fri 29th July to get the discount. The workshop: @EmilyBache and I will spend 3 days teaching you a range of techniques to use in coaching your teams for great software dev practices like TDD, refactoring, pairing & ensembles.

If you're serious about the software industry, bet on geepaw.

@adriancm93 @recursivefaults this tweet’s for you.

@johncutlefish @neil_killick I wrote an article about this a few years ago. This is the difference between enabling and non-enabling constraints. I offer that a mix of: trust, responsibility, and ownership create the difference.

@SeaOfThieves With that new sea fort adventure: all of them.

How many hours have you spent sailing the Sea of Thieves?

@juliafmorgado Yep. Unless they tell you no right then, it’s impossible to know what their perception of you is. We have no real idea what they are looking for in the answers we give. Interview them to be engaged, create relationship, and find out if they are a dumpster fire.

If you know you have performed poorly in an interview, do you still ask the questions that you wanted to ask the interviewer at the end of the interview?
