What makes “tech first” company eng cultures? Places where devs happy, motivated and love to work? I’ve been thinking a lot about this, talking with people at startups, we’ll-known tech companies and unicorns. Here’s what I have so far on autonomy, culture & career. What else?pic.twitter.com/TgABSjwGq0

With so many companies focusing on "good-enough" and cheaper cross-platform technologies - think Flutter, RN - there's an opportunity in delivering best-in-class experiences with those same products. This is what so few companies/teams do, and it _is_ a competitive advantage.https://twitter.com/balintorosz/status/1223624506318774272 …

A hard thing of building a new platform - framework, service, or a combination - is balancing patching the existing solution, over investing forward. When the new platform goes live, it will have some issues the old solution didn' have. You need to deal with those issues, fast.

To give you other concrete examples we're doing iOS Buck -> Bazel migration to unlock remote build execution right next to the current laptop upgrade eval. Improving internal dev NPS score is what we're about.

Some context: 1. We have an internal program to reduce blockers on dev productivity. 2. Projects include faster builds (local/CI), less manual steps to deploy to prod, more/easier automated tests. 3. Measuring efficiency by upgrading to the latest hw is one of many projects.https://twitter.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1222794120936271872 …

At Uber, our developer platform team benchmarked build time differences on different machines. Mobile builds, despite optimisations like using buck, were still slow. The result: all mobile devs got upgraded to 6-core MacBook pros across the company. Based on measurements & data.https://twitter.com/housecor/status/1222670531029274625 …

If you've bought the beta release of Become an Effective Software Engineering Manager, then two new chapters have just been released.

I read Refactoring Typescript by
@jamesmh_dev (the e-book) and liked it. I found it a nice refresher, a quick and easy read, and learned a few new ideas for refactoring, most notably CQRS.

How to ship software quickly, but reliably: be aware if the change you are about to make is a “one way door” (very hard&expensive to revert) or a “two way door” (easily reversible). Be super careful stepping through one-way doors. Run as fast as you can through two-way doors.

One-way doors: things that could result in data loss, making promises to customers, or launching new products/features people rely on. Two-way doors: changes with limited impact even if they go wrong. UX changes, experiments, shadow rollouts, feature flagged & granular releases.

After thousands of shares for the project lead expectations for software engineers doc I've written, I've finally put some context around it with a blog post (and the link to the project leads document):https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/how-to-lead-a-project-in-software-development/ …

Recurring struggle for the past year: explaining to distributed systems devs why and how building mobile apps at scale is just as challenging as building those large-scale backend systems. Similar concerns, different tooling. I'm halfway writing up recurring talking points.pic.twitter.com/HQXOyNjx7L

This l30m was fun when there was only a few, but new ones keep popping up. (l30m = letters compressed for shorter form) a16z = Andreeseen Horowitz (a[plus 16 letters]) k8s = Kubernetes AB5 = ABC Test What other ones are worth keeping up with?

A question I get is "How can I prepare to eventually move into an EM role? What books do you recommend?" I have good and bad news. The bad news is books are great, but they won't help as much as you think. The good news is I wrote a post about what will.https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/how-to-to-become-an-engineering-manager/ …

Strategies to deal with sudden, unexpected, frustrating change within the workplace: “What opportunities does this change bring?” “What is something I can learn, pushing through this change, that I wouldn’t otherwise?” “What is a thing I can embrace - even like - in this change?”

Software architecture gets challenging when multiple devs need to decide how to design a solution. This is why developers who are seen as great software architects are very strong at seemingly unrelated skills: negotiation, driving consensus and facilitating efficient meetings.

I'm launching an "Ask the engineering manager" series on my blog. Shoot over questions on software development career-related questions, and I'll be answering the ones I can, in detail, on the blog. The first one out.https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/ask-the-engineering-manager/ …

"I've been a dev for all my career - however, I'm thinking of changing to a leadership/management path down the line. What are things I can do now, to move into an EM role, eventually?" I'm writing up my thoughts, here's what I have so far. What additional advice would you give?pic.twitter.com/sVaiN0iQYy
