I keep seeing developers make the same mistakes over and over again.
When you want to level up your impact, and thus your pay, only focusing on your tech skills doesn't get you there.
Everyone who only focuses only on the tech, plateaus pretty early into their career.

I loved chatting to Flavia about the way they transformed their support organization!
Support got messy as FundApps scaled fast. Flavia Circiumaru tells @hanneslowette.net how they built a 3-desk system aiming to engineer support teams out of existence. youtu.be/Uk9CwG9a_C4?...

I had a chat with my friend @eli.holderness.dev about the cool stuff they do at OpenSAFELY. Be a fly on the wall for that chat, and take a look at this.
OpenSAFELY is revolutionizing medical research by protecting patient privacy and unlocking insights from healthcare data. @hanneslowette.net talks to @eli.holderness.dev about its secure, reproducible approach to research.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is someone who earns more than €500k per year, and refuses to take a €15 taxi.
Inexplicable. Inexcusable.
