For all those times I put in airs about distributed systems engineering...the most valuable thing I did this week was copy+paste a JS snippet into a Wordpress template.

Big news! I've joined getdex.com as a strategic advisor. Dev experience is important to happiness & productivity and I love their approach. (Rigorous + practical: gotta 💖 it) Already having fun getting into the weeds w/ Abi Noda Read more getdx.com/news/nicole-fo…

I recently learned about the 'Idiosyncratic Rater Effect' and it's my new favorite cognitive bias. Our assessments of others are mostly projections of our self-assessments. hbr.org/2015/02/most-h…
