I can share some of my Annual Planning experience at Amazon. Keep in mind that Amazon is pretty diverse, so the details vary a lot depending on the org you are in. For example, many processes are very different between Retail, AWS, and Devices. #Amazon #AnnualPlanning #YMMV GergelyOrosz/1462016666003554308

Lauramaywendel This is a great list! I would add: Making professional friends with people just a little ahead of and a little behind you in the journey. They can help in call kinds of ways. And the habit continues in later career steps.

I have seen this in myself when mentoring devs who are just starting the journey. It makes me sad, but career distance makes it harder to connect in both directions. john__nic/1537817719457857536

GergelyOrosz Carnage4Life The best company values are explicit about needed decisions. Including ones that people don’t want to make. The worst company values are the ones that makes everyone feel good but can be ignored. This one is good.

BoyEndian GergelyOrosz It looks like the full archive of 1994-2013 is available for FREE download from GDC. I expect even old post-mortems would have current value. gdcvault.com/gdmag

I love how Renée started applying to jobs before she was “ready”!!! People don’t need every skill in the job description to be a good hire. glowingintech/1572080831434309633

FWIW - I never read screenshots with a wall of text. Any image that has more text than a tweet is too much. I read on my phone, so zoom and scroll to read hurts my eyes. 🙈 #ship30for30 is particularly impacted. 🚢 💥

Another good episode from this crew: glowingintech, _jessie_belle, amberleetech I really enjoyed the parts about navigating passion and burnout. Special challenges in work life balance when you love what you do. glowingintech/1553048705522995205

chadfowler Linux is also remarkably low key. I just got a steam deck. And it’s Linux. But I bought a portable game player that has the most diverse indie ecosystem. I get to play the games I want, how I want. Linux has stayed focused on the use cases, not the branding or philosophy.

What is the difference in #culture between Big Software Tech and German Tech Companies? bensoellner is a German software engineer for autonomous vehicles, and he asks me questions about what I have learned since moving to Berlin 7 years ago. zeke.aranylucas.com/can-germany-automate-tech/

Purity_Birir So true! Early on, I had an argument with PM. He said he had no dress code, but he wore the exact same free T-shirts and khakis as all the guys from his school. He threw shade on any people who didn’t dress like that, saying they were vain. Typical in/out group “jokes”

tranhelen Tightly written! 😎 CRUD UX is also a dud. “We aren’t sure what users need so let’s make them manage more data.” CRUD and dashboards are both examples of how to overexpose the internals and increase users’ cognitive load.

…in reply to @codewithibrahim
codewithibrahim Start a building personal project. Something that starts out overly simple and awkward to use. Use it anyway! That will push you to make it better. Sounds like you could use a custom tutorial manager! 🤔

GergelyOrosz Also watch out for clawback clauses if you quit or are let go. These can be very aggressive. Once your equity vests it has to stay yours. Especially because the people involved in an exit may not be the same as the founders. Hedge funds have no empathy.

BillB I would say, it’s probably a refcounted object. Standard way to implement IUnknown from COM using c++ ULONG Obj::Release() { ULONG count = InterlockedDecrement(m_cRef); if (0 == count) { delete this; } return count; }

…in reply to @GergelyOrosz
GergelyOrosz How are you doing this research? Back in the 90s, I had a subscription to Game Developer magazine. I read that every month. The post-mortems were crazy! Game dev was cutting edge on many levels. A crucible of experience.

…in reply to @zerornella
zerornella I always look people up before the loop and learn what I can. Finding this kind of post, I would assume that they will be adversarial and pedantic. Not the look I would want.

…in reply to @Carnage4Life
Carnage4Life LinkedIn was working as expected, and then just started doing this. Except it goes to the login page first, then App Store, then app. Twitter always seems to start correctly, so that leads me to believe it’s something broken with the apps’ deep link implementations.

…in reply to @Carnage4Life
Carnage4Life An inability to break down problems is the most common red flag I see in interviews. The most basic is splitting known from unknown. Especially in large projects, need to separate “do this” vs “discover that” tasks.
