At the company I work for PiPs _usually_ lead to issues being solved. There are several developers I've worked with on PiPs (we do specific mentoring and follow ups on the areas of concern) that were able to improve and are now doing g

The Home app now supports a dynamic color option by default which changes based on the sun / lighting in your condition. Seems to work- I think it showed up for me about a year ago or so, so it's pretty new.

I've felt a lot of the same frustrations on iOS projects with swift. Lots of people add tons of extensions and helpers, and folks learning on these codebases don't learn iOS, they learn the playground that the developers of the pr

I learned to play the fiddle the past two years working from home during Xcode's abysmal compile times. Sadly my new M1 max whatever has solved that problem, ha!

I hated standups until we eventually got a great PM who moved to something like this, and now I try hard and make standup run like this on any project I'm on. Jira has this nice feature where it puts a little dot on something for each

I have a problem cutting people off- I get way to excited about what I want to say and jump in. I really appreciate when people call me out and don't take it personally. I also try to work on it and try to help steer the conversation t

Reminds me of something I pulled in middle school - back when we delivered papers on floppy disks. I took a garbage binary file and renamed it to `mypaper.doc` or whatever, turned it in on time and got a free weekend to finish it because my

Me too! I love QBasic so much - totally wouldn't be where I am today without it. I met a kid at summer camp when I was in middle school who told me he made his own games and fake computer viruses to scare his parents in Quick Basic. He
