I've been writing weekly retrospectives ever since I started my solopreneur sabbatical. From now on I'm going to post them in this thread.

Interesting changes since I've gotten older (though not "old" ... yet): - All nighters
Early mornings
- 12-hour marathons randomly hacking on stuff
3-hour sprints focused on specific tasks
- Half-assing a bunch of projects
Whole-assing just a few

Looking for companies that have moved away from traditional annual performance review systems and onto something else. Anyone know of any examples?

I noticed the other day that "place card me" is now the #10 search term driving traffic to
@placecardme . Doubt I'll ever hit this goal (at least with that project) but it's fun to see your brand start to become a thing.https://twitter.com/randfish/status/1045634641250734080 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

At the beginning of your software career you are blind to all the edge cases that can break your code. Later you learn to anticipate these things and proactively plan for them. Then finally, you (often) stop bothering because you understand the full ROI equations of your time.

@placecardme now supports two new print formats for prepreinted cards! http://localhost:8000/guides/avery-place-cards/Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
I should add that technically the above is only necessary if your parent div is using display: block or display: inline-block. If you're using floats of flex then you don't need to worry about this.

Why would you declare font-size 0 on a parent element you might ask? Well turns out that in *print* layouts a single space is inserted between divs. So if you happen to need exact positioning for e.g. laying out cards on a page you need to declare font-size: 0 on their parent

In case anyone was wondering, TIL that using "ems" for font size works relative to the parent div. So if you have a "1em" font inside a "0px" parent then that font is still size 0 and therefore invisible.

it's also an interesting lesson in humility. realizing all these things you used to be responsible for are now completely in the competent hands of other people feels great. but it also makes you question your own worth. untangling your identity from your work is complicated.

Every time I get a linked in request from a current employee that I've known a long time I just assume they're about to quit.
