Yeah, I think there's almost always a point where a company decides they need to stop generally trusting their employees. Then all the trustworthy ones start getting more and more frustrated, or just start checking out. Agreed that mos

Yeah. And all the time spent on those 100 half baked ideas take away from time that could be spent working on the most likely cause of the next outage. (Real forward-looking risk reduction work.)

Yeah, I'm facepalming on that one. Thanks!

Yeah I completely agree that a lot of structures work actively against this. Lot easier for me to write a bullet point about it than actually implement it at a company with an existing way of doing things. And I think it's almost impos

Really resonated with this, reminded me of the journey I went on over the course of my dev career. By the end, my advice for every manager was roughly: * Don't add process just for the sake of it. Only add it if seriously needed. * Req

I have to say I'd be absolutely delighted to receive a letter like this. Not just the indicator that I'm doing something right (already huge for me, given the degree to which I struggle with people pleasing), but also the humor an

As someone who's considered himself lonely for most of his life, I can very much relate with the idea of feeling like an outcast, like an alien, someone who doesn't really fit in or understand what others find interest in. I think

The part I always feel like is missing from the coding interview discussion is: "Are you testing the candidate on what the job will actually require, and ONLY that?" With an onsite whiteboarding challenge, you're most likely

Oh wow this immediately sent me back, haven't thought about this game in decades. The room I played it in, the computer (486/33 w/8mb ram?) the friend I learned about it from (terrible friend in retrospect, for unrelated reas

I love the rawness of this. I've noticed I tend towards a feeling of everyone else in the world being so alien, living some totally different incomprehensible life from mine. (Or more than I'm the alien, and everyone else is livin

I struggle with this myself, especially around writing. My solution, from a coding perspective: If I had a massive new app to build, it would indeed feel overwhelming if I felt like I just had to sit down and build it. I think we get extra

Yeah, I've gone from a place of not being able to judge my level of discomfort at all, to only being able to realize it hours after the fact, to eventually learning to notice it in the moment (after a lot of practice). I still don&#x27

I like the nuance you're bringing to this. When originally writing the article, I considered using a gym/weightlifting analogy, as it felt extremely relevant. I agree that the cost/benefit part can really be important. I migh

Yeah, took me (author) quite a bit of practice to get there. I still struggle with it at times, though at this point I find I can generally implement it say 90% of the time. Definitely feels like a muscle I had to build up.

Helping others with their mental health (after my own struggles). Worked as a software dev/manager for a decade, went through workaholism, burnout, then alcoholism, depression, all that. Doing a ton better now, and taking some time off
