This is absolutely insanity. Threatening to beat teachers half to death if they didn’t disclose if their child used different pronouns at school vs home.
This is why not all parents should be told. @HStefansonMB once again, this is who you are signalling. Abhorrent. #mbpoli

“Hiring the best candidate” and “hiring the best candidate willing to put up with your interview process” are two different things.
Can vouch for Taiwo. Fast learner with great experience and a fabulous attitude. Hire him if you can.
• Boring standups?
• Pairing sessions putting everyone to sleep?
You need add @Taiwo_HY to your backend team. He brings tons of energy and excitement 💥 to meetings‼️
Oh yeah, he's also an excellent engineer and mentor.

Yo, what's with companies trying to give you coding challenges TO COMPLETE AN INITIAL APPLICATION?!
I don't care how small the challenge is. I'm not going to go do some random challenge for some random company just to start an application.
Ya'll aren't that important!

If you're a software engineer, your main job is maintaining legacy code.
Why? Because building a system doesn't take long, in comparison to how long code will last, assuming the code/business are successful.
Here are the 10 commandments of maintaining legacy code.

Looking over notes from the first Open Space conference I ever attended.
Found this gem from @WoodyZuill on the radical impact of psychological safety, so often noticed by its absence rather than presence:
“almost everyone turns into a liar when we do not or cannot speak up”

The pride-themed jerseys just mean that gay kids shouldn’t be afraid to play hockey, James. Your actions say the opposite. But hey, if there’s something in the bible about gay people playing hockey, shoot me the verse number.
Former Maple Leafs goalie James Reimer has declined to wear Pride-themed jerseys ahead of tonight's San Jose game against New York, saying it runs counter to his religious beliefs. toronto.citynews.ca/2023/03/…

I've undervalued the last 3 yrs of education-more than enough for most Master's degrees-through @VirtualCoffeeIO. I've learned the best ways to manage, create culture, team build, create content and documentation, write clean code, and more. A good community enables you to learn from each other.
