• Triggers: When Someone Pushes Your Buttons Because we need to learn how to work with people that get on our nerves. By the way, these things are usually mutual.
• Managers Aren’t Coaches I kind of agree with why the author says what they say.
• Leading From The Front Because effort is contagious.
• Managing Underperformers Do they know what’s expected of them? Do they know what good looks like?
• Lessons from building and maintaining distributed systems at scale
• What async communication behaviors lead to better outcomes for software engineers?
• The Software Engineering Identity Crisis
