Please, developers, don’t get smug. I’m starting with you because you’re a core part of the problem here.

Nowhere does it say, “Developers rule the world”, or “Developers have ‘SA’ privileges”, or “We get to ignore the Operations side of IT and do anything we want”. No, instead, it talks about cooperation.

ChatOps

Cog is engineered to be more of a framework that addresses a number of concerns many teams have, such as security. With built-in access control and audit logging functionality, Cog allows teams to collaborate on sensitive tasks with higher confidence. Taking inspiration from the command-line interface, Cog has a “pipe” operator that allows users to run a command and use that output as the input for another command in a process.

A calling is feeling that the work “has to be done.” It connects us to something greater than ourselves. Duckworth explains, “The long days and evenings of toil … the sacrifice, all this is worth it because [our] efforts pay dividends to other people.”

Look for jobs that excite you, for jobs you think you can do with just a little ramp-up time. And then apply for those jobs, knowing that most of them will ignore you—but it only takes one yes to get an exciting new job, and an exciting new opportunity to learn new skills.

  • Itamar Turner-Trauring - (2018) There’s always more work to do—but you still don’t need to work long hours

Whenever you feel yourself with too much work to do, go back and apply these principles: underpromise, limit your own time, prioritize ruthlessly. With practice you’ll learn how to deliver the results that really matter—without working long hours.

don’t stress too much about getting stuff done, it’s fine if you do things at your own pace

Nowhere does it say, “Developers rule the world”, or “Developers have ‘SA’ privileges”, or “We get to ignore the Operations side of IT and do anything we want”. No, instead, it talks about cooperation.

  1. Work Less, Sleep More
  2. Work Less, Meditate More
  3. Work Less, Nap More
  4. Work Less, Exercise More
  5. Work Less, Take More Breaks
  • Farnam Street - (2015) Learning How to Think: The Skill No One Taught You

Multitasking, in short, is not only not thinking, it impairs your ability to think. Thinking means concentrating on one thing long enough to develop an idea about it. Developing your own ideas. In short, thinking for yourself. You simply cannot do that in bursts of 20 seconds at a time, constantly interrupted by Facebook messages or Twitter tweets, or fiddling with your iPod, or watching something on YouTube. It’s only by concentrating, sticking to the question, being patient, letting all the parts of my mind come into play, that I arrive at an original idea.

A proper treatment of the human element requires the human to be the focus

“Computing is fundamentally invisible,” Gerard Berry said in his talk. “When your tires are flat, you look at your tires, they are flat. When your software is broken, you look at your software, you see nothing.” “So that’s a big problem.”

Laziness: The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. Impatience: The anger you feel when the computer is being lazy. Hubris: The quality that makes you write (and maintain) programs that other people won't want to say bad things about.

Look for jobs that excite you, for jobs you think you can do with just a little ramp-up time. And then apply for those jobs, knowing that most of them will ignore you—but it only takes one yes to get an exciting new job, and an exciting new opportunity to learn new skills.

"A user story is done when the code is fully integrated, all tests pass and the functionality meets the expectations of the story author(s)." The race to get work done, especially to show management that we got work done is far less important than focusing on creating happy, productive users. A story isn't done until it is being used by real users in production and has been validated to be a useful part of a product.

But using the wrong metrics makes it impossible.

  1. extreme productivity may not be obvious
  2. programmers are most effective when they avoid writing code
  3. when they are being their most productive, nobody says “Wow! You were just 100x more productive than if you’d done this the hard way. You deserve a raise.”
