Interesting survey results. This kind of confirm what we already suspected regarding longer work day and the amount of meetings.
Very good points about cultural differences. Indeed some people directly ask and express their needs, others are more waiting and take into account everyone else's needs when asked. Both have pros and cons, it's important to know where you stand.
Clearly the book referenced here picked my interest, I guess I'll try to read it. The cheat sheet proposed here is interesting, not completely sure how I'd act on it in practice though.
Good and reasonable advices... doesn't make them easy to truly apply though. It's likely worth trying to live by them still.
That's a very interesting way to frame it. Two different cultures to drive a conversation, both with their pros and cons. Lots to mull over for me in that short article.
I've witnessed that too many times. Take care people! Stay safe.
Very good point, make sure you know how much you can take and how much you're actually carrying. We're our worst enemy for these things.
Although I disagree with some of the examples she summons, I think she indeed has a point.
Good point, this little wisdom from Kent Beck goes further than just code and refactoring.
Good reminder of the sometimes uneasy relationship between users and maintainers. This needs to stay healthy. Users need to know their place and maintainers should feel OK saying no to things.
Lots of good insight for a long career as a programmer. Definitely a few things I live by and a few... I tend to loose sight of. More progress to be made.
Yet another inspiring piece by Kent Beck. I like his blunt honesty and self-reflection.
Really great collection of wisdoms collected through decades. Loved it, some are funny too.
I find the title somewhat limiting due to the "Gen Z" label, but content is way more balanced even though fairly US centric. There are a few good lessons about work perception by people.
Interesting to see how a more widespread remote work impact people. Unexpected patterns appear, it's clearly not all for the better though.
Nice extracts with comments about finding joy in your (work) life or not. Two paths really... which one are you on?
Too bad this is stretching a bit too far on the politics side (although it's not unjustified, I think it muddies the initial message in this context).
