The current market has never been more tough for Software Engineers and managers.

Without having a proper strategy, perseverance and overall self-confidence, it can be really tough to secure a new role.

Nothing hits quite like going to a funeral. 😐

Friendly reminder to check your priorities.

You only live once.

Surround yourself with the people you love and the things you love doing.

As a software engineer, it’s kinda cool to see bugs on this app. I can totally relate. 😆

Also, it means Bluesky didn’t wait to get something perfect before shipping it. And when you’re building an app, that’s the right mindset to have. 👏🏼
