So I write a 'Weekly Goals' document every week.

One of the best things I've picked up is adding a Retrospective in the Notes section of each doc. It mostly forces you to process why the week turned out the way it did.

Keeps you from mindlessly doing activities that you think are adding value.

That awkward moment when you're learning about a software design pattern and you decide to update an old app to explore the pattern...

...only to realize that you've been leveraging the pattern in your design and you just didn't have a name for it

Been seeing more roles targeted to juniors being posted lately. I don’t know if they were always being posted and I'm just now seeing them or if something happened to encourage people to invest more in juniors.

Anyone have any insights on this?

The "pipeline problem" is a myth.

Women in tech exist. Black developers exist. Latinx designers exist. They just don't have access to your network. I've watched amazing talent get overlooked because of limited connections.

So I built the bridge.

One of my favorite memories involving computers was when a technician had to debug my computer.

We had Red Ants that would find their way into our computer and short a connection, electrocuting themselves.

Happened at least another time after that with another Ant shorting out a tube monitor.

I'm going through some old notes trying to migrate away from Evernote (which I haven't used in years now) and it's so fascinating seeing how my thinking have evolved from almost a decade ago.

Happy that I took any notes much else the amount I ended up taking.

Has anyone framed the need for someone to build strong Software Design Skills as being empathetic to not only to the next Engineer who needs to read and understand your code but to those who also need to run your code and keep it operational?

Quick question,

Am I the only one that, when using PowerShell, will randomly go:

"Pow, Pow, PowerShell!"

I was just wondering if anyone else does this?

My new favorite thing that my toddler does is she'll randomly, out of nowhere, shout "Dance party!" and just start dancing, hands in the air and everything. It's the best.

Some engineers interview very well, but perform poorly once on the job.

What techniques/questions do you use to increase the chances of getting a successful hire?
