It was really valuable for me to stay at a single company long enough to live with the consequences of my own engineering decisions. To come face-to-face with my own technical debt.
It takes a few years for this to play out but IMO it's an important part of engineering growth.
Genuinely the most tense, gripping sporting contest I've seen all year. Great sportsmanship at the end too 👏🏾
I see so much FUD about the future of sw engineering, mostly from non-devs. Along the lines of “soon anyone can spin off AI agents in bulk that act as hundreds of devs.”
A false premise. Just open your airline app that is built by ~hundreds of devs over 10+ years

Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Cross the Road? Don't fill up on bread I say absent-mindedly The servings here are huge My son, whose hair may be receding a bit, says Did you really just say that to me? What he doesn't know is that when we're walking together, when we get to the curb I sometimes start to reach for his hand —Robert Hershon
This wrecks me—every single time.
I posted the exact same question on Threads, X and Bluesky, asking what IDEs devs liked the most.
Despite having 10x as many "followers" on X, Bluesky, and a similar one on Threads, Bluesky is most definitely where the most humans respond to a technical post.
I love it here!

Sometimes I miss #CRM. The raw energy of customer databases and sales funnels, with no AI in sight. Just living in the moment, with your IIS and SQL boxes. Rocking your Internet Explorer, waiting for the next Update Rollup to deploy. Wondering whether Outlook will disable your add-ins today or not.
