Hi all! Just wanted to call out @warp.dev for their incredible product. It has improved my productivity and made my life easier as an engineer. Kudos! I hope to see more improvements in the future!

On the DL, I’m trying really hard to get my entire engineering team to use it because it’s fantastic.

We visited Hohenlimburg Castle today. It was a hike - literally. But it was worth it! First time I’ve ever been in a dungeon. We were rewarded with a fantastic view of Hagen. 🤩

Thwarted by carriage returns today. Just another reason why I don’t use Windows.

I’ve always thought that software development was more art than science. I started reading Modern Software Engineering and it has challenged my thinking and encouraged me to start applying scientific rigor to my profession.

Thank you @davefarley77.bsky.social for writing this incredible book. 🙌

Yesterday, I visited the Grimmwelt with my family. It’s a museum about the Grimm brothers in Kassel, Germany. Highly recommended! 💯

I learned that in addition to their famous stories, they also started work on the most comprehensive German dictionary ever, which took over 100 years to complete. 🤯

Lots of talk on LinkedIn about what makes a senior developer "senior". (They're obsessed.)

If I could crystallise it in a metaphor, senior developers don't wait to be offered a cup of tea. They just stick the kettle on and then ask if anybody else wants one.

Or, in one word, "self-empowered".
