How To Get Helpful, Actionable Feedback From Your Colleagues
- Lara Hogan
#Management #CareerAdvice
tl;dr: Asking “is there anything I can do better” rarely elicits a helpful response. Instead, identify a skill you’re hoping to improve and request feedback on it. "This approach has the benefit of being easier for the person giving you feedback, and more impactful and useful for you." For example, if you want to improve in strategy, ask the following questions (1) "what outcomes - positive or negative - have you seen from my efforts at strategy?" (2) “What new approaches or tactics do you think I should experiment with here?”

The Forty-Year Programmer
- Noah Gibbs
#CareerAdvice
tl;dr: "I’ll talk about things that didn’t make sense to me when I started programming, and now they’re the guiding stars in my sky... it’s not about specific technologies. Technologies come and go. Languages come and go. They can’t be your sky."

The End Of Localhost
- Shawn Wang
#DevEx
tl;dr: "Dev environments should be cattle, not pets. It looks likely that most development will not be done on localhost in future." Shawn highlights that one of the biggest obstacles of developing is the local environment, highlighting how big tech companies are investing to move away from this and new technologies, such as edge computing, could be a way to solve for this problem.

#JS
tl;dr: "A few years ago, I came across this awesome talk about AirplaneJS, a web app that picks up radio signals from airplanes and plots them in real time on a map in the browser. I had no idea this was possible in JavaScript so I started looking into it. I played around with the project and started wondering if there was a way I could push it a little bit further."

#UsefulTool
tl;dr: "json-diff already exists, and it’s pretty good. I wanted something similar for programming languages. After a huge amount of experimentation, I have something that works. In this post, I’ll show you how it works. I won’t show the many, many dead ends and failed designs along the way. We can pretend that I got it right first time."
