I first walked on the PCT nearly 50 years ago, and have been a bit infatuated with it (off and on) ever since. Someday, I&#8217;d like to walk all 2650 miles of it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open Org recently released their <a href=\"https:\/\/open-org.notion.site\/Open-Org-s-Employee-Handbook-Template-4fb240a09619458c8142de722b4cbc97\">Employee Handbook Template<\/a> &#8211; and it&#8217;s kind of cool &#8211; or at least worth checking out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I&#8217;m currently balancing my DM and Group Chat time between Teams and Slack (weird, but true). I&#8217;m pretty sure I <em>don&#8217;t<\/em> want this, but in my haphazard searching to try and see how other folks balance this, I found that some teams just give up and use a tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/dispatch.m.io\/\">Mio Dispatch<\/a> to make them both feel like one tool.<br \/>I&#8217;ll keep looking for a better answer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I think at a lot of companies, it takes too long to get new engineers up to speed. This article on <a href=\"https:\/\/leaddev.com\/team\/5-ways-onboarding-can-accelerate-engineering-efficiency?utm_source=ActiveCampaign\">onboarding new engineers<\/a> hit&#8217;s the main points (and with great citations to back up their claims).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, some food for thought. This post asks, <a href=\"https:\/\/journal.optivem.com\/p\/are-bugs-and-slow-delivery-ok\">Are bugs and slow delivery ok?<\/a> I think the question is valid &#8211; and while I agree that for some products, slow and buggy may be ok, but I disagree that it&#8217;s 95%&#8230;but I sort of hate that the author is sort of right. <br \/>I need to ponder this some more&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s all for this week &#8211; apologies again for the posting mishap last week, I&#8217;ll try to keep my shit together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, I scheduled this post, and somehow in doing that I (debatable) made it a private post for subscribers only.
