7 links to help you grow, take inspiration for your own journey
“Perfect is the enemy of good”
―Voltaire
You’ll become successful through overcoming challenges and facing your obstacles.
… but that doesn’t mean it has to lack inspiration or fun.
Here’s a few links that you can skim in under 60 seconds.
I hope it will inspire you, and on occasion help you get unstuck.
Good Enough. A mix of stoicism and impostor syndrome. Thor Hall is great.
Transport Tycoon — Trustbit Excersises. Great Katas on Domain-Driven Design, behavior composition and unit testing with TDD if that’s the path you choose.
You can’t Grow a Software Team with Code Reviews. Emily Bache is known best for her TDD and Refactoring Coaching Hours. It’s refreshing to see her branch out her topics, following in Dave Farley’s approach to cover the entire spectrum of software engineering.
77% Of Employees Report AI Has Increased Workloads. ThePrimeagen zooming in with a hot take on the latest Upwork Research Institute report. I’ve been quite bearish on AI assistance for coding. I love it for work as a solopreneur when it comes to automating diagrams and content creation, but coding, especially design aspects it’s not my favorite cup of tea.
Preliminary Post Incident Review (PIR): Content Configuration Update Impacting the Falcon Sensor and the Windows Operating System (BSOD). No way around it. This is THE continuous delivery, engineering culture and observability-related incident to watch.
If Your Code Looks Like This... You're A GOOD Programmer. Dave is upping the level of clickbait. His material I find notoriously bereft of examples and on-site context which makes his continuous delivery training much more theoretical than what he displays experience.
