So just had a technical test that expected me to understand, and make changes to, a python API. This is for a Frontend developer role where I was very upfront that I lean more towards design and have no experience with python 🙃

Since apparently being a nice person is illegal in the US now, it’s time to pull out my most popular blog post ever. It’s called “survival tips for women in tech”, but I’m told it works for all genders and in countless industries. patricia.no/2018/09/06/s...

Survival Tips For Women In Tech | Patricia Aas

Who else is the only woman on their dev team?

It absolutely sucks that specialising in, and being great at, frontend development - understanding designs, design systems, APIs and the overlap into backend that every frontend framework now requires more than every - somehow isn't enough Yet backend being awful at implementing design is fine

A bit of unsolicited advice to devs earlier in their career: While I love frontend and genuinely think it's crucial to company success, IME, companies discount frontend expertise. Gobble up what backend experience you can early in your career. Think it'll keep more doors open to you.

One thing I'm seeing more and more as I'm job hunting Engineering manager roles managing a full-stack team that require significant backend experience and zero frontend experience Frontend development isn't a secondary skill, it's equally as nuanced as backend Let's start treating them equally 👏

Here's something that really grinds my gears in the UX of the web In what possible world am I meant to know which of these options is the right login. Why would I need 9 different options for a login? Let me log in and find my way to what I want to do afterwards

As usual, Danny hits the nail on the head. 🔨 I’ve had to fight this temptation myself. Cursor changes 50 lines and the lazy part of my brain says "I’m sure it’s fine, just accept the changes". Seems like a great way to plateau in your growth as a developer. 😬

Tutorials used to create tutorial hell, but I feel like after quite a few recent conversations, there is a new "hell" for beginners. ChatGPT Hell. I am meeting so many beginners that rely on ChatGPT to deliver all of the code and answers but they do not know what is going:

So I was just browsing the Posthog merch store (no reason 👀) and found the most random merch product I think I've ever seen.

I applied for 3 jobs today, and my brain feels like 🤯

I've not written a resume in 5 years (or CV for us Brits) Even having 10 years of experience, it's really hard to get it to a good enough point where it shows what I can do well Squeezing each role into a few lines & building excitement is difficult And that's only one part of job-hunting!

I see so much FUD about the future of sw engineering, mostly from non-devs. Along the lines of “soon anyone can spin off AI agents in bulk that act as hundreds of devs.” A false premise. Just open your airline app that is built by ~hundreds of devs over 10+ years

My portfolio's been neglected for way too long So while looking for new work, I'm also flexing my design skills and bringing my portfolio up to date. Everyone good with yellow?

I've been looking for work for the past few weeks What's most interesting is that applying is genuinely exciting After working for myself for the past 4 years, that feels strange I think it's due to gaining the confidence to apply at companies I'd never believed I could work at before

I have been sick for the last month (thanks Covid). Having also been laid off a few weeks ago, I'm now itching to build something again.

I can't believe we're back 🦋

So is tech twitter on here now? 👀

Someone mentioned me in a comment where they are debating whether or not the top 10 Fortune 500 companies use Agile (as in, some methodology based on the Agile Manifesto). My thoughts on this: worry about being nimble, not about Agile (TM). That's what the best orgs do, anyway.

Today is my day off But I love coding, and I love building Skyward, so I often end up working in my time off So, instead of fighting with myself about it, I set a few rules 1. Work on what I want (not client work) 2. Stop when I want 3. Try and be somewhere different

My end goal is financial security/resiliency Enough money that me and my family can be happy with minimal risk if something were to go wrong Similar to early retirement, but I really enjoy what I do so unless I burn myself out, I think I'd want to keep going once I reach my goal 😅

Let's start building in public again! This weekend, I've been working on our pricing pages I've always tried to make Skyward a transparent business This is one more step towards that goal No surprises, just great software https://skyward.digital/pricing
