I started perusing because it was Elizabeth and stayed through all 4k for umpteen reasons including a new understanding of journalism and how tech sees itself. A must read.

This is especially true now that with a global pandemic forcing many parents to home school while others are working from different time zones, it’s understandable that some people will work outside the 9-5 of your time zone. What’s key is not creating social pressure on others.

I believe managers should give team members the flexibility to work whatever hours they please as long as it isn’t broadcast to others as a form of social pressure. If you want to work on a doc or a bug fix outside 9-5 M-F that’s fine as long you don’t indicate to others you do
When I was a junior manager, I used to work on Sun and one-day holidays to get “caught up”. Weirdly, my teams did it too. The past 5 yrs, I don’t work on Sundays or holidays (unless like a conference rehersal) Weirdly, my teams don’t either. We’re all happier now, HMMM 🤔

I think you should consider standardizing GML, and maybe even make it extensible while you’re at it

You a senior engineer who still codes? I’m doing some just now which is amusingly old-school. It provoked thoughts on coding in general, on whether it’s a good use of senior engineering time, and on my biggest chunk of AWS code: tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/…

"Clever naming for internal projects trades a little fun now for endless annoyance onboarding people to non-descriptively-named projects. If the thing is a microservice that sends mail, call it mail-service and be done with it - spend that energy choosing a good name for a dog"
