Customers don't care about your dependency tree.
There is a hard truth in SaaS: You can outsource your infrastructure, your payments, and your CRM, but you cannot outsource your responsibility.

The Internet used to be a place where we easily had access to "free" knowledge. It was an open digital world. As we scrolled and ingested such content, there was opportunity to learn about the authors and distributors of such knowledge.

"Tell me who you are without telling me what you do professionally." - What a powerful question... Answer this yourself, and see how it eventually shapes the environment you'll set yourself in, in this new year.

I just deactivated the auto-renewal of several of domains I registered for side projects. Accepted the idea those will never see the light of day. It's liberating...

"As software gets older, it gets bigger. As it gets bigger, it gets worst." - @t3.gg
So much truth in such simple phrase. As projects evolve, and as feature appetite grows, so does teams. And with that comes a lot of organizational problems. People forget to refactor and evolve.

Having technical documentation in a different repository than where the code is, is a recipe for disaster. The docs and the code will evolve in different paces. There's a reason why we put tests alongside code, and the same should apply to your docs!

I found that the best motivator to get shit done and succeed professionaly, for me, is having a family that's dependent on you to just do whatever you have to do to thrive.
In terms of dopamine injection, nothing beats ensuring I take care of my family.

Somebody at @jetbrains.com is having a nice start of the week. To whomever is solving this: Don't worry, I also caused a small hiccup on our production environment, too, and on Sunday, of all the days!...

When software development people aren't fighting about Vim vs Emac, or tabs vs spaces, they are arguing about keyboard layouts... We're a group apart, for sure! 😂

🔥If you don't have a terminal, a project file explorer, a database explorer, a VCS GUI, and an out-of-the-box working LSP for your languages of choice, can you really call your code editor an IDE?
I'd argue that if you have to switch through multiple apps, it's not *integrated*.

Fostering a strong documentation culture starts with individual initiative. If your team sees docs as a "waste of time," lead by example.
By consistently creating clear documentation, you demonstrate their value firsthand.

The "location-based pay" for devs is a joke & a disservice. It's time companies realize talent delivers value, regardless of where they live. Stop penalizing skilled professionals for their address. Companies should be ashamed.

Slowly replacing legacy monoliths? 🌱 The Strangler Fig Pattern is your friend! Wrap old functionality with new APIs. Gradually migrate features, "strangling" the legacy system bit by bit.
Example: New checkout API calls old service, then eventually replaces it entirely.

Async comms tip: Ditch the "Hi" 👋 and give full context upfront! Explain your query, what you've tried, and outcomes. Helps avoid back-and-forth & misinterpretations. Remember, it's not face-to-face chat!
