All the time. We use Optimizely which allows us to roll features out to subsets of users and run experiments. It also allows us to keep PRs smaller and roll stuff out to prod confidently.

All I’m saying is I switched my default search on my phone and browser to ddg (just to try it out) and the results have been good enough to not make me switch back to google.

A very talented junior engineer joined our team. He puts a lot of pressure on himself and gets very bummed out when something he does isn’t perfect. He tries to do a million things at once and is at risk of burning out. I’m trying to help h

Listening to music. Back in the day I listened to the radio, I bought cds and vinyl and listened to entire albums and looked at every detail of the album art. I went record shopping with my brothers. I made mixtapes for special people in my
