I'll happily recommend this podcast from .NET Rocks w/ @hanneslowette.net explaining Event Sourcing. Thought this was a good rundown of strengths and unfortunately real challenges:

In no time, you will have more impact, people around you will see you as a team player, and management wil recognize that you are contributing to the success of the company.

Hannes Lowette @hanneslowette.net · Jul 2

Instead, understand the organization around you, learn how it makes money, and what your role is. Use that insight to do the following:
- Take actions that contribute to the bigger whole
- Communicate your suggestions on how to improve things
- Make your own decisions based on the greater mission.

I keep seeing developers make the same mistakes over and over again.

When you want to level up your impact, and thus your pay, only focusing on your tech skills doesn't get you there.

Everyone who only focuses only on the tech, plateaus pretty early into their career.

I loved chatting to Flavia about the way they transformed their support organization!

GOTO Conferences @gotocon.com · Jul 1

Support got messy as FundApps scaled fast. Flavia Circiumaru tells @hanneslowette.net how they built a 3-desk system aiming to engineer support teams out of existence. youtu.be/Uk9CwG9a_C4?...

I had a chat with my friend @eli.holderness.dev about the cool stuff they do at OpenSAFELY. Be a fly on the wall for that chat, and take a look at this.

GOTO Conferences @gotocon.com · Apr 15

OpenSAFELY is revolutionizing medical research by protecting patient privacy and unlocking insights from healthcare data. @hanneslowette.net talks to @eli.holderness.dev about its secure, reproducible approach to research.

God I love the layout of the Suzuka circuit. What a great technical track. So many places to make a difference.

This is why getting better at reading code is definitely a valuable skill. I was lucky enough to interview @maritvandijk.bsky.social about this very topic.

My friend @rendle.dev gave a fantastic keynote at NDC London. They used their amazing sense of humour to drop some serious real talk about feeling like an imposter. I may have shed a tear when I was sitting there watching this. Many people needed to hear this!

I really enjoyed this conversation I had with the fantastic @maritvandijk.bsky.social about reading code. She talks about why reading code is hard, how to get better at it, and where tooling may help alleviate things. Thanks to @gotocon.com for recording and sharing this!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Are you placing the order?

It’ll be an annoying amount of work to seal it all, and to make sure none of the circuitry shorts. But definitely feasible.

But unless someone pays me to do it, I’m not sure the joke is worth the effort.

Fuck everything about this news:

We are creating a society where otherwise beautiful women feel the need to alter their appearance to adhere to an ideal that only a very small portion of men find attractive.

We need to fight this. Hard.

My doctor took my blood pressure and my heart rate a few weeks ago. I was sitting relaxed at 46 bpm. She looked twice, and then told me "You haven't been lying to me about the exercise. Good." Filled me with pride.

The first years are often spent on 'orientation': figuring out what they like, what roles are out there, etc. Being a soundboard to them to help them find direction is the best thing you can do.
Also, be available for questions. Often it's not tech, but how to approach their team lead, HR, etc.

So exactly 500000 bytes.

I’ll add a few to that:
#KanDDDinsky & @dddeu.bsky.social: The DDD community is just fantastic. I’d go just for the people.

@ndcconferences.com: Top notch events with awesome speaker treatment. Love them.

@techorama.bsky.social: grew from a small community event into a fantastic conference.
