One of my biggest pieces of advice for junior software engineers:
Ask questions.
Stop worrying about looking dumb. Seriously!
Your colleagues want you to level up fast.
Your colleagues want you to be able to contribute.
Your colleagues want you to be successful in your role.

Shifting Observability Left is the wrong framing.
We're not proposing that you "move" the responsibility to dev from operations.
The idea is that "both" teams care about it and put the effort in to make it awesome. From instrumentation to pipelines, it's not one team, it's everybody.

Some software engineers never get the opportunity to work closely with customers.
When I sat down to talk with Jade Wilson, it was great to hear that her and her team DO spend time working very closely with customers.

Leverage the subject matter experts on your team, but do your homework!
If you're trying to build an understanding of an area of the code base, a product, or a service, you likely have teammates that know these areas very well.

Exploring the TryXXX pattern for Enums in CSharp
If you've written CSharp code, you've probably come across situations where we have:
- A method called Something()
- A variation of the method called TrySomething()
So what's the deal with this?

Sometimes learning a code base by looking at code first isn't effective.
Depending on the age of the code base and the size of it, diving into the deep end of code can be a bit overwhelming.
Personally, I find stepping back from code first to understand systems can be the most valuable.

Accessing Record Types on Earlier .NET Versions
In C# 9.0 we received access to a great quality of life type called the record. Record types allowed us as dotnet programmers to skip a lot of boiler plate code, thereby saving us time and making code more readable. Wins all around!

Documentation can be critical for learning a new system but...
1) It might not be there.
2) It might be there, and it's totally out of date.
The good news is that YOU can be the person that helps make onboarding the next person more effective.

Interesting. I think I've noticed this somewhat. I often have to start a new chat, if the LLM hallucinates something, or else it will integrate that hallucination into the context and base further output on the hallucination.
Last year I shared our discovery of the Crescendo and Skeleton Key jailbreak techniques. We have identified a new one, Context Compliance Attack (CCA) that's very simple, yet very effective at bypassing LLM guardrails.
