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.

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.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

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.

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.

500 000 / 1024 =… exactly.

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.
