Happy that my #Elasticsearch book is now available. A package full of past work :-) elasticsearch-buch.de
It's been a while but I published a new post on my blog, this time on running 1-1s as a new engineering manager. blog.florian-hopf.de/2023/07…
More #singapore snake content. Can you find what looked like a black spitting cobra?
Wow, how could I ever think running my own DNS server would be a good idea. Silently missed all emails for several weeks. Spent an hour investigating an obscure bind error and 30 minutes to ditch it and configure DNS using my provider.
Just finished The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. Really like the format of putting the learnings in a story - paired with actionable advice. goodreads.com/book/show/2134…

Wat was published 10 years ago today. It's been watched a few million times, but still the world is more NaNful today than it was in 2012. Condolences. nitter.cf/garybernhardt/status/1…
My "Wat" lightning talk is now up (free) on destroyallsoftware.com. Appreciate the absurdity of Ruby & JavaScript. destroyallsoftware.com/talks…

Here's a team. Someone leaves.
We hire a replacement.
We get lucky and manage to find someone more skilled.
Looks like we're better off? [1/10]
The Culture Map is a pretty good book if you want to grow your awareness of behaviours and needs of different cultures goodreads.com/review/show/44…
This was such a valuable advice. Even though we decided to pick up all the meetings again this was an opportunity to look at length, frequency and timing of each of them.

A common misconception: "if someone cannot handle the pressure of live coding, they won't be able to handle the pressure of the job (e.g. oncall)"
FALSE.
On the job, you have all the context and are not being judged. People who struggle with live coding usually do fine here.

Great to see the #FOSSASIA team and former speakers connecting around the world despite challenges. Congratulations @maik_aussendorf for becoming a member of the German #Bundestag! Excited to see more #OpenSource #FOSS contributors in parliaments.
Toll @maik_aussendorf beim @osballiance Netzwerktag wiederzutreffen, nach 3 Jahren damals beim @FOSSASIA Summit in Singapur. Viel Erfolg im Bundestag! Freu mich auf einen Austausch wie wir den #Klimawandel mit Hilfe von #OpenSource und kluger #Wirtschaftspolitik aufhalten können
Germany and Austria lockdowns making the headlines on @ChannelNewsAsia today - only three weeks after Germany was presented as a role model how to live with COVID. Scratching my head.
