Assorted junk including mints, scissors, paper, medicine, stamps, and more from a junk drawer spread out on a granite counter. The drawer is open and still holds some junk.

Junk drawers are tech debt.

I wasn’t able to find my layoff hat before the suspiciously sudden meeting that generally indicates a layoff is coming. So y’all get to enjoy my layoff hat! I have worn this hat for most of my layoff meetings. I really only pull it out when I think something bad is about to happen.

Super excited for this! I have a few talks I want to submit once my voice comes back enough to submit a video.

Unless they'd accept one where I pantomime my whole talk....

Picard leadership tip: The larger your audience and the higher your position, the greater the need to communicate with care and precision.

I’ve not been impressed by 360s. It feels like folks only talk about the good stuff and won’t give anything critical that I can use to work on development.

360 reviews. What’s worked for you? What do you hate?

Back from @codemash.bsky.social and sorting through my notes.

AI system design katas was my favorite talk/workshop and while I didn't agree with the estimation talk much, it's given me some things to think about with regard to what goes into an estimate. Some great lightning talks, too.
