Come on! The man already got a PhD! Doesn't that count as time served?

Read more code than you write.

Listen more than you speak.

Replicate more than you innovate.

And write it all down as you go.

If your team is half decent, they already know where your skills truly are, and they're comfortable with it. And before you know it, you'll be the senior engineer.

This is a bad title to an other unsurprising article.

Managers don't fear they will become irrelevant. It's bad managers who are having trouble figuring out how to manage without seeing people at their desk.

What's mind blowing to me is that despite two years of being forced to evaluate people by their impact rather than by their physical presence, so many managers still don't have a clue how to do this right.

Meanwhile, healthy remote teams are thriving, and competent middle managers there provide incredible value, from managing execution to keeping the social tissue of their teams together.

Facebook is a company with shady ethic that attracted people willing to look the other way because the money is too good.

But they just lost 37% on the "too good" money.

So where do you think these people are going next?

That says a lot more about Facebook and the type of people it attracts than it does about the crypto industry.

Mozilla of the past decade is a political and lobbying organization that must maintain market share in the browser market to remain relevant.

Firefox has good engineers who work hard and deserve your trust but they don't set the product direction. The lawyers and politicians do.

Flip dns back, keep the old stack around for a few days. The only case that doesn't just work is with db schema updates that no longer work with the previous version of prod, but this is true for any rollback.

Did you seriously write this?

Because people underestimate the amount of effort needed to learn a new language at first?

Partly yes. They certainly have a professional responsibility to write applications that resist well known attacks, such as directory traversal, xss, sqli, etc.

This isn't new, and not knowing how to deal with it is like a builder not knowing how to safely stand up a wall.
