#Leadership
tl;dr: Since these meetings require both convergent and divergent thinking from participants, they tend to underdeliver. Dave advises us to split them into separate meetings: (1) A weekly update meeting to review KPIs & performance (2) A bi-weekly retro to share what's going well & what's not. (3) A biweekly forum to discuss open leadership topics.

#ProductManagement
tl;dr: Austin concludes his story with what he learnt as a product minded engineer, including: (1) Always keep your users in the loop. Do not go build in isolation. (2) Don't underestimate engineering challenges that you have an external view of. (3) Voice your concerns to your team regularly and often. They might be to solve them far more quickly or identify a future roadblock. And more.

In Software, When An Engineer Exits The Team
- Doug Arcuri
#Leadership #Management
tl;dr: "There are moments during the transition where I battle an aggravated ego. But I check myself, calm down, and refocus back on this individual. I want them to succeed, and me stepping to hinder that would be incorrect. I’ll send recommendations and smile. They will become a better person because of this, and so will I."

- Scott Hanselman

#CareerAdvice
tl;dr: "I’ll start out by talking about a “backwards” approach to learning that I think a lot of you will recognize (do projects first without fully understanding what you’re doing, fill in missing knowledge after), and then talk about I try to teach in a way that works better with that mode of learning."

The Rise Of One-Time Password Interception Bots
#Security #IndustryNews
tl;dr: Customers would enter a target’s phone number and name. The service would initiate an automated call that alerts that person about unauthorized activity on their account. The call would prompt the target to enter an OTP token generated by their phone’s mobile app (“for authentication purposes”), and that code would get relayed back to the bad actors.
