Five for Friday – October 11, 2024

It’s Friday, and I have links to share.

  • Nothing new here – especially for readers of my proper blog at angryweasel.substack.com, but here’s a write up on a recent study of The Real Reasons Employees Leave Companies.
  • In the not-surprised category this week is this story on Bypassing airport security via SQL injection
  • I somehow lost (forgot) my favorite sun hoody – an Appalachian Gear Alpaca hoody – but AG are unfortunately out of business. I’ve finally settled on an Arms of Andes replacement – but only time will tell if it’s as good as the one I’ve lost.
  • I feel like I’ve shared this link before, but it has enough recent updates that it’s worth sharing again. Short story is that cognitive load is probably the biggest factor slowing down your team of knowledge workers.
  • And finally, the Engineering Managers’ Guide to Effective Annual Feedback is worth a read for any manager.

Should be something fun in there for everyone. If not – read again next week. I’ll get it right someday.

    For some reason, I have a lot of friends from the UK (could be soccer, could be Microsoft – I don’t know). I hang around them enough to know not to look down when someone says “Pants”, and that “sixes and sevens” have nothing to do with math. Learning the subtleties took time, and I…
