This is what I did with my son. Take the pedals off, teach him balance, then put them back on. There's a hospital here that does a clinic on teaching kids to ride a bike and this is what they do as well.

> It makes me wonder: how do people get so sold on a thing that they'll go online and fight about it, even when they lack facts or often even basic understanding? I feel like this can be applied to anything. I had a manager take one

I reached out to a recruiter I know about a job posted on their company's site. They replied that wasn't a real posting it was just to get people in the pipeline. They did say if it was a "real" posting they were hiring

I see so much backlash against Project Managers and they're just Outlook Calendars with legs, but this post is basically a love letter to good Project Managers/Release Train Engineers/Delivery Leads, whatever you want to call

I'm not sure it's Jira-fication. I think it's mapping effort back to something that has a direct result to the bottom line. Example: I used to work for a company that basically made slot machines. We needed to produce somethi

Notepad++ has a place in my heart. When I was learning HTML back in the late 90s early 00s I was using MS Frontpage or Adobe Dreamweaver GUI. I read that those would spit out sub-optimal HTML and you should use a text editor. So I downloade

I used to work for a state gov entity, one of the counties I worked with named their servers after Looney Toon characters. I always thought that was cool and fun. Where I worked named the servers after the departments. /sigh. Such bori
