I recently learned about the 'Idiosyncratic Rater Effect' and it's my new favorite cognitive bias. Our assessments of others are mostly projections of our self-assessments. hbr.org/2015/02/most-hr-data…

How long until someone figures out how to train GitHub Copilot to inject malware in its code snippets?

The Harrison Metal "GM1: Defining General Management" with @mcgd is the best $40 I've spent on an online course. Not a week goes by without me thinking 'this is what Daniel McCallum was doing in the 1850s' .

I support this so much. Much respect for low-code/no-code config tools, but having the power of a robust programming language will generally win the developer experience.
Welp, I was wrong. I can either double down on being wrong, or I can change my opinion. That isn't (or at least shouldn't be a real choice).
The @awscloud CDK is delightful and I will be using it as my weapon of choice going forward.

Two areas to consider when improving internal documentation: the authoring experience and discovery experience.
Authoring & maintaining docs should be as low-friction as possible. Documentation should also have some navigation structure and be easily searchable.

10 years ago today was one of the most exciting days in my career: keeping Kickstarter up as Double Fine Adventure went viral.
Here's @cainlevy, @professorlemeza and me trying to keep the site up with a statically rendered version of the project page.

The Woman with No Face is a wonderful short story by @alicegoldfuss. fantasy-magazine.com/fm/fict…
The rich world-building interleaved with a fast-paced plot let you never quite grasp what's going on until the final sentence.
.@naominovik’s The Last Graduate has a brilliant reference to the “Thucydides Trap” in chapter 11. Not a spoiler…just a wonderful multi-layered turn of phrase that’s had me smiling all day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thucyd…
For all those times I put in airs about distributed systems engineering...the most valuable thing I did this week was copy+paste a JS snippet into a Wordpress template.
