Short work week this week, but I still found a few things worth sharing – but to be honest, I’ve watched 6-8 hours of world cup soccer every day this week (and will continue for the next few days until I only watch 4 hours a day). That’s all I have. Time to go to…
Time is a blur. I know today is Friday, because todoist reminded me to post a FfF post – something I recently realized I’ve done for over 5 years now. That’s like….math…a bunch of links. Hopefully you found a few of these helpful, interesting, or worth reading. Here’s this week’s batch. That’s all for this…
Yesterday was a bit of a blur, and FfF fell off the map. But – as has happened (at least) once before, the Saturday makeup is a six-pack of interesting things that I think you may find interesting as well. Thanks for your patience (and thanks for reading). See you next week.
We’re a few weeks into what is usually 6 months of wind and rain in the pacific northwest, but hopefully it will help get the fires put out. Here are a few links I found this week that I felt like sharing. I hope you have a good weekend and week. See you in 7…
Not a bad week – not a great week – but it was a week. Here are some things new to me that you may like. I’ve talked (I think) about Pat Lencioni’s idea of Working Genius before, but the book arrived recently, and I read the entire thing in two sittings. Business fables aren’t…
We have made it to another Friday. Air quality in the bright green pacific northwest got to pretty unhealthy levels this week, but it’s better (finally) today. I feel like I’ve been licking a dustpan. On the times when i could see my computer screen through the haze, here’s what I found this week. First…
I’m tired, so that must mean it’s Friday again. Here are a few things I think are worth sharing. Speaking of tired, I don’t think I ever shared this burnout quiz from Yerbo. It tells me that I’m tired, but not burnt out, which feels about right. Also note that as of the time I’m…
It’s Friday again already, and the end of 2022 is in sight. As usual (and expected), here are a few interesting things I found worth sharing. Feedback is something I’m always working on improving. This article really nails home some of the nuance needed for effective feedback. Speaking of good advice, this article on 16…
So yeah – I skipped last week…and some people actually noticed! Last week was a tough week, and although I had a few links ready, I just wanted to unplug and spend some time away from my computer – you know how it can get. The good news is that I am in a much…
This has been a long week – but I still found a few things worth sharing. Here they are. I think this is a must read article on The Career, Accomplishments, and Impact of Richard I. Cook I also enjoyed this article on The Real Difficulty of Engineering Leadership In today’s news, I was fascinated…
What a week it’s been (and how many times has that been true in the last few years). Somehow, among eight million other things, I still manage to stumble across a few tidbits from time to time worth sharing. Here’s this week’s attempt at that endeavor. It’s a sad week for the world with the…
We made it to September. I’ve been going to the office a bit more, doing a small bit of traveling, and hoping the world can get to a better state. Here are some interesting articles I found this week. Some offices are back at work at almost pre-pandemic levels – while others are still ghost…
Greetings from the wrong side of the country. I’m in the middle of a quick family trip and it seemed like a perfect time to let you know what’s been filling my brain this week. Free can’t last forever – Heroku is discontinuing their free plans – which is a bit of a bummer, but…
A day late this week, but just pretend you lost track of time like I did. Here’s some stuff I liked this week. I’m continuing to wrap my head a bit around the SPACE framework from Nicole Forsgren, but this article has a nice pragmatic view. I’ve been playing quite a bit of Steamworld Dig…
Today has been an interesting day in American politics. Not sure what happens next, but I hope it gets better. Here are a few things I found this week that I thought were interesting. This post on PM & EM: Rules of Engagement echoes something I’ve noticed over the past several years – there’s a…
I’m typing this week’s FfF from the Unity San Francisco office where I’ve been able to meet for the first time, people who have worked in my org for years. Fun stuff! Meanwhile, here’s some stuff I found this week. Loved this post from Zeno Rocha on The Two Typed of Quality Last week, I…
I hate to be cliché and talk about the weather, but it’s freaking hot here in the pacific northwest. I hope everyone is staying cool and safe. Here’s some stuff to read while you melt. Going to lead off this week with two links on Modern Testing. First is a great article from Laura de…
Different week – same stuff. Long time readers probably find patterns in the things I like to read (or at least the things I like to share). Here’s what I found this week. I really enjoyed this article on How Google SRE and Developers Collaborate Like a lot of Americans, I have paid a lot…
Today was a day off for Unity, so I rode Side Hustle again (link in last week’s FfF). Overall, not a horrible week for me, even though the world continues to find ways to suck. Here are a few interesting links I found this week. My first job in Tech wasn’t until (until?!?) 1993. But…
Last week was one of those weeks where someone could write a FfF post – and then forget to actually post it…you know – hypothetically. This week is…better, but possibly because I took Thursday and today off. Here are some things I liked this week. Either the thing I love about the pacific northwest –…
