Five for Friday – February 16, 2024
Wow. This week went quickly – but the internet never fails to provide interesting things for me.
- Elisabeth Hendrickson wrote two fantastic articles this week. The first covers something I stress a lot – interview the company who is hiring you. The second builds on the first, and discusses manager failure modes. Read them both.
- I had to look if I posted this already. Either it’s a duplicate, or I can’t read, but either way, it’s worth reading (again). Yes, good DevEx increases productivity. Here is the data.
- Loved this post from Bryan Finster on being Too Smart to Make Mistakes
- I’ve contributed to a few tech career ladders in my life. Trish Khoo has a great write up of some of the behind the scenes that goes into creating a good career ladder.
- I knew some of this, but definitely not all. This was a nice article on The History of Port Numbers
Hope you found something interesting – see ya’ in a week.
