A lot of good nuggets here for pondering.

Please read this, and while you are trying to justify that your world is different, remember that odds are that you are <em>not<\/em> actually a snow flake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I also enjoyed this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/kanenarraway.com\/posts\/getting-to-senior-staff-engineer\/\">Crossing The Chasm: Getting to Senior\/Staff Engineer<\/a> &#8211; it hits many great points on what&#8217;s needed to get to more senior levels in software roles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boeing is having some issues. Still. This is an interesting article on <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/javascript-scene\/why-cutting-costs-is-expensive-how-9-hour-software-engineers-cost-boeing-billions-b76dbe571957\">Why Cutting Costs is Expensive: How $9\/Hour Software Engineers Cost Boeing Billions<\/a> that probably applies to more companies than will admit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nothing to do with software, but I&#8217;m super curious to understand why we&#8217;re finding <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/california-rare-oarfish-serpent-833218b1d02125d3dee86c4df640a89e\">weird ugly fish in southern California<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it &#8211; see you in two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Friday yet again.
