👋 Hi there! I post about

✅ making progress (and bugs 🐛) with my projects, like my app for animal shelters petprofiletailor.vercel.app

✅ 100daysofcode (ex: anki flashcards & chatting about my addiction to codewars coding problems 🤓)

And most importantly, I have a cute cat named ember 😉

Most of my promotions were based on my ability to attach my work to the metrics below. Working at a major cloud provider made this a lot easier because we tracked everything. It largely comes down to earning and sharing the credit across different teams including engineering, product, and sales.
1. Impact. How much revenue does my work protect or generate?

2. Quality. Does my work meet or exceed customer expectations?

3. Efficiency. Reward making the right buy versus build decision.

4. Reusability. How do others leverage my work?

5. Supportability. How much work do I create for others?
a question for the people who write code for money:

if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?

no one in the staffing industry is doing what we are doing at @torcdotdev if you need a community to uplift you throughout your job search or career would love to have you in the discord or at one of our events.

The urge to stay up late and code is strong but alas I'm resisting the urge so I can make it to the @torc.dev yappy hour today 10:30 am PST/1:30 ET

It's a chill virtual hangout, no cameras needed 😉: luma.com/8o3s1mbb

There's also an earlier event:

I love this series so much. I tried renaming it but that was a silly idea so I'm back to the title I love, algorithms be damned

new look, old name, incredible people (and more episodes coming soon!)

Ember has decided to take over the treadmill desk developer life!

Moved it briefly while cleaning the floor and has claimed my treadmill as revenge 😂

Maybe I can do some coding later if she feels kind

Blep alert! Jacks having a great morning chilling outside, drinking his dirt water soup (with a hint of terracotta).

30-60 mins before the vet gets here

Give your pets an extra hug and pat for me!

Old man Jack's hyperthyroidism and kidney issues have finally caught up to him, so we've scheduled his goodbye tour for monday (at home euth) 😔.

But it was cute to see how hyped he was about surprise outdoor time, outside the catios!

🍀 knocked out a good chunk of banki questions (technical interview questions with anki digital flashcards)

🍀 Finished the gym, running errands & turning in my ballot just in time for the #100devs huddle

🍀 The bug for the newest names was what I thought, the _id:1 was overwriting the _id:-1 from the sort logic. easy fix

🍀 Think i might of made a breakthrough with my networking! When I really sat down and thought, I realized my sheet was stressing me out

🍀added more names
🍀walked 2.10 miles on the treadmill
🍀fixed a bug, i noticed a few items were weirdly getting duplicated. Turns out with when items are sorted and they have the same property (likedCount=0), the sorting order can change from page to page.

Sweet! Got a bonus on my pokemons halloween snack. Look how cute it is ~

Happy Halloween! 🎃

(This is pokemon sleep, its a free sleep/gacha game where you level them up with food. I can't afford a real pokemon game 😂)

You have been visited by the halloween cat butt!

May you have a boo~ty~ful Halloween (ha! Double pun!) 👻

Also yes I fear this cryptid image has been recorded from a potato, please forgive me for the rough shot 😂

🍀 UX improvement! The "check if the name exists" button is now tied to the name input, so users don't have to tediously write it out twice

🍀 mobile improvement, just needed to add flex-wrap to have it play nice

🧘‍♂️ 7 days of meditation!
