Just got approved to follow a scrum professional product owner course which feels like a step towards something new😄

Going to be a great start for the new year.

Just had one of those moments where all energy just left me body. Not sure why but it’s always just before the holidays😫

Hearing @aaronfrancis.com semi raising his voice and pushing everyone to share their experiences. Don't know who needs to hear the talk but just check it out.

Had an idea this morning of a tool I would be interested in making, this along with an domain name that 100% fits the project is something that feels like a unicorn.

The main thing for this is how can I validate if people would use this? Anyone suggestions?

Since I didn't see a post from @learnwithjason.dev yet. But there is a new episode of the Web Dev Challenge "4 Hours to Save Santa's Workshop".

Honestly wondering how long this has been on the @jetbrains.com platform plugin sdk documentation page. Would be amazing if would be possible to create a custom IDE to tweak it to our own needs.

Just think of the time I could take to double check every file within this pull request. That's a whole sprint of review work😂

How the heck do y'all get actual nice backgrounds?

I have a stove towards the right wall which is freaking terrible. I’m right handed and I cannot easily work on the back right pit when all other pits are used.

Not sure who needs to read this, but it's okay to be somewhat mad when you tried to reproduce a ticket which appears to be fully solved without anyone mentioning this.

Good morning @SlackHQ,

I noticed y'all updated the spreadsheet in workflows. Previously I could update the sheet that I wanted to use without losing the column data, but after one of the updates I do lose the column data now which is really unfortunate.

One feature I have written was showing weird behavior, and while I somewhat thought what was happening I was completely wrong.

When you pass null to the carbon instance in php you get current datetime, which messed up my data. That’s going in the books to triple check.

In the near future I will working on a small project again that doesn’t really involve my normal work and I’m excited about it.

Had some nice meetings last month and honestly can’t wait to work on something else.
Anyone else some projects starting up?

Isn't the core problem that PR's are almost too large for people to cognitively stay on track with all the changes and things we read?

Also missing context is a huge pain when working with large pull requests.

Working with admin panels makes very clear how well you can build "advanced" applications within them. At the same time you either see straight forwards solutions or overcomplicated ones.

Choose what fits your team the best.

Gotta love dynamic form fields in @symfony.bsky.social when you come from Laravel🤌

I've been working on a application that helps me write courses for my oldest child so she can learn in way that helps her. I've build something similar in the past but that solution had issues that where kinda annoying for me which I plan to solve now.

A new system design interview video was published by Hello Interview. It's focussed on a more beginner system design interview which might be worth taking a look at.

If you have never watched one check this one out!

Not being bombarded with political posts really me wonder how some people get so much of it. Than again I remember the feeds will likely use a similar strategy as is used in e-commerce.

Maybe not in full but it feels like most fitting.

Where are my engineering managers on here? Would love to connect🙏
November 2, 2024 at 8:54 AM
Have been having one on ones with an engineering manager lately and one thing I noticed is how much better you start to think about career path questions when you have someone asking questions in specific ways.

Really shows me how much impact a good EM can make.
