  1. “Put your own life first,” Lennart says. What does that exactly mean? He taught himself to build websites for fun and function. Now they fuel his businesses, while he surfs all year and codes at night. Lennart Quecke has never worked as a pro… mastodon.online/@zekearanylucas/109372270699245024

  3. According research, open office makes you sicker. They also destroy productivity if your work requires deep focus. emollick/1592594529781415936
  4. Yes! There is only so much you can learn from just theory. Get in there and get dirty! aniqatc/1591218470061895681
  5. DevTools need the same thing. shanselman/1591702573232566272
  6. Color me tempted! We could all use an energy boost feedback mechanism. The more you code the faster it feels. Plus, COBOL is alive and thriving. hot_girl_spring/1590706725174542339
  7. Browsers have such a tumultuous history. Thanks for sharing this story of Firefox. asadotzler/1590446577407041537
  8. Click the blue check to know what it means. iamBrandonTV/1590415625780101120
  9. Great take about setting Mastodon expectations. 🎉 When buying cheese, you can’t expect Cheddar taste when getting Gouda. Even if they look and cost mostly the same. zerornella/1589170120970350592
  10. This post was written under Xcode debugger. REPRO STEPS: 1. Download the mastodon-ios repo 2. Follow directions in Setup.md 3. Build defaults RESULTS: Works exactly as expected on the first try. Bravo… mastodon.online/@zekearanylucas/109296725530575240

  11. Solving by deletion. This is extra true for security and performance work. Less is more. leftoblique/1588925762429931520
  12. What an amazing call out supporting his team! gerardkcohen/1588584459779321857
  13. Endless reasons to doom scroll. Only 3 years in and I swear this decade has already rewired my amygdala and adrenals. Constant surprises and rug pulls. We only have so many spoons.
  14. TIL: Thermocline He pretty explains what happened to me with FB. After 2016, trust just started to plummet, but I still doom scrolled out of habit. Until I just couldn’t do it. garius/1588115310124539904
    oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API
  15. Fun read. I hadn’t thought much about how subscriptions are priced. LinkedIn is both free and expensive. So I see how his ideas could work for twitter. Patticus/1587848775019778049
  16. Nurture curiosity for motivation (not fear of imperfection). Software engineering requires perpetual self-teaching these days, so we are all often clueless. RailsGirlsSoC creates safe spaces where it's fun to learn. #womenintech #WomenWhoCode ZekeAranyLucas/1586414249211228160
  17. One of our most pervasive unconscious behaviors is to take shortcuts. We can’t possibly explore every idea before making decisions. So many biases derive from that. Time is the ultimate constraint. emollick/1586725978528694273
  18. I followed these steps to join mastodon, you can too: @zekearanylucas@mastodon.online twitodon only had 7 linked accounts for me though. :) GergelyOrosz/1586995124810268672
  19. TIL: “right-bank” means the right based on heading downstream. I had always associated it with east bank. But Kherson is on the west bank of the Dnipro river (which flows south, making it the right bank).

  20. The first rule of Feminist Fight Club is to talk about ffcbook. Kaja found a new future by building software, but she had to find her voice to claim her place. #WomenWhoCode #womenintech
  21. There are useful parallels between building software and building teams. Optimizing people like they are machines is dangerous. Maybe it works at McDonalds, but fails for creative teams that must explore unknown opportunities. Thanks twitchard twitchard.github.io/posts/2022-09-23-system-dynamics-schmystem-dynamics.html

  22. Fascinating thread about the value proposition of yielding privacy to the state for improved personal security and privacy from corporations in China. RealSexyCyborg/1583658923365904384
  23. Amazon's writing culture is a famous success tool, but it isn't easily imported. Strong writing targets an audience. Amazon has specific values. Amazon audiences read and decide based on those values. The decision-making culture precedes the writing culture. Mindset > Tool
  24. Let’s nurture passions and giving back to the community! celeste_horgan/1582509824709124096
  25. I read 6 novels in the last 6 weeks for pleasure. It was satisfying to focus on story over utility. The best them was ‘The Golem and the Djinni’ by helenewecker. The title characters had depth and growth. I look forward to the sequel.
  26. Now we get to hear the audio track that goes with one of twitter’s favorite voices. I expect pure randomness mixed with tech insights, but always centered on being a decent human being. sherrod_im/1579983971915825153
  27. People who actively coach learn so much! GergelyOrosz/1579755963858718720
  28. They hired her as a PowerPoint designer. Julia Swidron quickly realized that coding the requirements was more fun than transcribing them. Listen as we discuss extroverted engineering and loving to code without identifying as a developer. #womenintech blog.introspectivedeveloper.com/julia-swidron-from-powerpoints-to-react/

  29. Practical advice for planning big career changes by extracting personal motivation. Odyssey planning is a new one for me. Thanks j_houg ! j_houg/1574757925599744008
  30. After one week with #SwiftUI, I was mostly digging into details of the DSL (kinda like JSX) based on value types (structs) and @resultsbuilder. Throw in generics, inference, overloads, and closures and you get some pretty obscure compiler messages. And I like it. 🧐😜
  31. A week later and I still ponder this blog post by mipsytipsy. Why is hierarchy so pernicious? It’s like kudzu or blackberries. For me, hierarchy is often comforting in teams with “get along” dynamics. It gets toxic (exploitive) fast as “get ahead” incentives are added. mipsytipsy/1573485665718661120
  32. Wow, swift enum is crazy expressive! I am guessing it was designed with opcodes in mind (or similar). Is there another common language that has something like recursive enum?
  33. I know I shouldn’t, but I am building my own task app, just for my wife and I. Every app I tried is too much and not enough. 😂 On the plus side, I am learning SwiftUI. It’s like opinionated WPF. MVVM hits just right!
  34. Key findings were valid even before the pandemic! 1. End productivity paranoia 2. Embrace the fact that people come in for each other 3. Re-recruit your employees microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/work-trend-index/hybrid-work-is-just-work #worklab #futureofwork

  35. Who is scared by the idea that women will become leaders in the tech industry? Srsly! reshmasaujani/1573692989561446400
  36. This is a great article if you want to learn how (and why) browsers work. Thanks, ericlaw ! ericlaw/1573331313968685056
  37. Work/life balance is about prioritization, BurnoutBroccoli As an individual, know yourself, and prioritize accordingly. As a manager, know the business, and prioritize accordingly. Seems easy, but like communication, never fully solved.

  38. ZOMG, these are so tasty! these little guys are made by koro_shop and they are basically organic corn nuts. Except crispier and saltier, sooo… no going back, yum!

  39. This episode is powerful. Especially the discussion around leaving eng leadership even when they remain deeply passionate about engineering and leadership. What to chase after we gain our freedom from having to chase? devleadership_/1572260501857488896
