    microservices vs monoliths is the "would you rather fight 50 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck" of software development

    I feel like making an engineering team a great environment for junior devs automatically makes it a great environment for devs of all skill levels. Great docs and discoverability, smooth onboarding, comfy tools and workflows, easy to collaborate and get help, etc.

    I'm hiring an engineer now. I've never seen so many fraudulent resumes, phone screens, code samples, etc. LLM slop has flooded the engineering hiring market, which means I think hires are going to be even more network-based than before. That feels bad.

    I can't stop laughing at this. Someone got stuck in vim while trying to commit.

    Friends, what is your tweet-sized tech origin story? Mine is: while 19 & living in Brazil, a friend said I should try CS. I did, loved it!

    For every interview process, there are devs who are qualified to do the work that will do poorly in it.

    A constant challenge I face in engineering is figuring out if a confusing thing is bad or if I just don’t understand it.

    It is an exciting time to be a front-end developer. @reasonm, @elmlang, @typescriptlang and @flowtype, RXJS, new React features, @vuejs, design systems, new CSS stuff, CSS-in-JS, Svelte, GraphQL, zero-config bundlers, etc etc etc. So many fun things to learn and play with.
