Five for Friday – March 14, 2025 The world is weird. Here are some weird - and not weird things I saw this week. I dug this article on Simple tips for managing any project - it's full of practical tips (many of which have worked for me). What to do when your manager asks "how can I help?" I really liked this article on Crawling out of the Incident pit of despair…

Five for Friday – March 7, 2025 I skipped a week - but I'm back for today at least. Here are a few interesting things I found this week. Great article this week on Lenny's Newsletter about developer productivity - Introducing Core 4: The best way to measure and improve your product velocity This article on Should managers still code? answers this often-asked question - and so much more.

Five for Friday – February 21, 2025 It's been an interesting week (aren't they all these days?). Here are a few things you may (or may not) like. Let's lead with good news. It was great to see Ash Hunsberger talking with Janet Gregory and Lisa Crispin about Developer Experience. I've been fortunate enough to work with Ash the last year, and she's amazing. I thought there was a lot of truth in this post on…

Five for Friday – February 14, 2025 Back again for another week of semi-interesting links. I don't even know where to start with DOGE. They don't appear to know what they're doing, nor how relational databases work. And apparently - anyone can edit their website. What a fucking mess. On a more positive (but not that postive) note, it's performance review season at a lot of companies.

Five for Friday – February 7, 2025 I took last week off - nobody noticed (or at least nobody said anything). For those of you reading, here are a few fun articles I read this week. I met Alessandra Moreira many years ago in Australia. Her substack is wonderful, and I especially liked this article on Why Engineering Leaders Must Rethink Testing to Build Reliable Software I thought…

Five for Friday – January 24, 2025 It's another week of interesting things on the internet. Here are five worth sharing. I enjoyed this article on 3 Things to Embrace to Elevate Your Company’s Culture ...and I also enjoyed this one on Employee autonomy explained I've used copilot a bit for personal projects, and think that AI code gen can be pretty fantastic - however, AI is Creating a Generation of Illiterate Programmers…

Five for Friday – January 17, 2025 Back again - here are a few things I found this week that I thought were worth sharing. I often give similar advice, but maybe someone else saying it (and better) will mean more. Why Leaders Shouldn't Try To Do It All I enjoyed (and agreed with) this article on Skip Level 1:1s I thought this article on The River: A Better Way to Code…

Five for Friday – January 10, 2025 I'm back. I never left, and I never stopped consuming content - I just took a break from sharing things I liked. The break is over - and while nobody complained about no posts for a month here are some things to look at anyway. Tim Ottinger has a nice article on Estimates vs. No Estimates which a lot of you should probably read.
