Second day of offsite. A pack of vicious animals tries to eat me, and nebiros pets one of them and gets out of the way for another.
-
And then no-one took my nearly being eaten seriously. Later, cy_sha offered me nuts.
-
Basically I am slightly concerned my team are trying to kill me. And not even with explosives. Will report back tomorrow.
-
cy_sha it's okay I think if you are actually trying to kill me you will do it later when we go climbing. Do you have a tshirt yet?
-
If not you can assume they have succeeded. rciscwendy/737781975465893888

Nice to know that being good at Sports doesn't mean that rape is okay. Oh. Wait. That's pretty much exactly what that verdict was.
-
What if it wasn't the jail time that "ruined lives" but an entitled shitbird's decision to violate a woman? This is how consequences work.
-
That framing makes me want to vomit. The guy should have ruined his own life when he damaged hers. But as usual he gets away with it.
-
I don't think about being sexually assaulted often but as a victim let me tell you: it is something that has stayed with me ever since.
-
And it's not something that I think I will ever be able to forget.
-
@missellieish dantoml con mucho gusto
-
And every time I see some bullshit verdict like this I remember that the guy who assaulted me got away with it, too.

.ecarrion89 is talking about problems with massive view controllers and how categories are evil.
-
It can be hard to reuse view controllers because they are tightly coupled to app control flow. ecarrion89
-
.ecarrion89 is using emoji to illustrate problems in code I love it 🔥
-
Coordinators can abstract out parts of the application flow and make it easier to reuse view controllers. ecarrion89
-
Coordinators are a place for navigation logic. Mean that the data in the view controller can be immutable. ecarrion89
-
Coordinators make it easier to reuse view controllers, allow A/B testing and easier integration tests. ecarrion89
-
UI testing is hard! ecarrion89
-
Not everything is better, there are some limits to this pattern. Not necessary for a small application or linear flow. ecarrion89
-
Presenters and view models are also useful. ecarrion89
-
Can migrate bit by bit. Started with sign in. Dramatically simplified application flow. ecarrion89
-
What was easy? Adding tests! ecarrion89
-
What was hard? Some view controllers were easier to migrate than others. ecarrion89
-
Get started with smaller view controllers and then gradually move to bigger ones. Started with sign in because linear. ecarrion89
-
I tried to ask ecarrion89 a question in Spanish and everyone was like "english please" 😱

Btw it was hard for me to live tweet a talk given in Spanish in English I hope I wasn't too inaccurate lol.

Plane delayed but so happy because I'm listening to latest episode of shouldwepodcast and talking to dianakimball itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/should-we/id1088708970?mt=2#episodeGuid=tag%3Asoundcloud%2C2010%3Atracks%2F269941107
-
I love that they are talking about speaking up!! This is so fascinating. One thing I learned was to state conclusions, not build up to them.
-
lmsanchez omg I can't believe dianakimball is not just saying "rose gold rose gold" and instead asking all these questions.
-
lmsanchez dianakimball I plan to get a rose gold laptop.
-

This is an article in a British newspaper commenting on American gun habits like commenting on another planet. helenjwatson/745018875956297729
-
Also worth noting: this is a paper generally read by people who vote uk conservative.
-
MotherOFirebees ansate this is basically why I cba to try and find a therapist.
-
RT mrtazz: If you haven’t voiced an opinion about who should be allowed to do or call themselves what, you’re not a real male developer.
-
The next time I encounter a man's opinion about what constitutes a real developer I may actually self combust. 🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥
-
It is possible to self-actualize 1) outside your profession and 2) without diminishing others and more people should try that IMO.
-
skamille omg yay 💜

-
ansate so the amazing donasarkar bought me a little thing that says "why would I go to therapy when I can just live in NYC and be weird" 💜
-
ansate but tbqh i don't have any time when i'm in nyc to do anything else. i would sooner see my friends than any therapist!

Sometimes I think the reason why I hate brogrammers so much is that I'm stronger, smarter, and infinitely more adorable than any brogrammer.
-
This is also true of raccoons, and why I believe raccoons will reclaim San Francisco from the brogrammers and then humans can return.
-
Geek_Manager nothing for it. You will have to 🔪 him. Be discrete though, you are on a plane.

Argh today is brexit day. I voted remain by post. I hope this ridiculous idea and terrible man named nigel don't get their way.
-
U.K. Media btw is all brexit brexit brexit and that man omfg. It's a lot easy to tell a dramatic story when you have no basis in reality.
-
What would we expect from a white man named Nigel though really.
-
NeoNacho 😜
-
RT kevinmarks: Well, catehstn “we're only making plans for nigel” is the #voteleave theme song youtu.be/gXNhL4J_S00 - he has a future…

-
danielpunkass oh when are you in London? I leave Saturday.
-
MotherOFirebees what a shithead I am so sorry 💜
-
I spend 95% of my time outside this country and my uk credit card gets flagged for suspicious activity... When I'm in London.
-
Also they are making me go to the bank to fix it and the guy kept going "is that okay" as I responded with increasingly anguished "NO"s.
-
Apparently suspicious activity was not answering phone I'm all "I'm a millennial and I contend that not answering the phone is very normal."
-
NeoNacho so very little
-
Next up wiredferret at #leaddev talking about the 7 righteous fights - so excited!
-
Technical writer - master at assembling technical clues into a narrative whole. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Persistent problems. We have things that we prefer to work on, stages of companies we prefer to work with. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
We get stuck in ruts where we are do the same things over & over again, don't see the emergent consequences. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
If accumulating techncial debt, accumulating compound interest. If don't fix now, later more expensive. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Removed i18n to ship. Couldn't just translate it. Took 5 days to re-hand-code the UI. +2 weeks to fix. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
"You cannot fix it later." - user has very firm ideas about where their cheese is. Will resent moving it. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
1. Localization. 2. Security. 3. Extensibility. 4. Documentation. 5. Affordance. 6. Acceptance. 7. Accessibility. wiredferret #7fights
-
"Localisation is what tells your user that they belong here." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights (love this!)
-
Don't hardcode UI elements. No words in logos/images. "Translators who can do graphics are super expensive." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Bake in extended character support. Human disrepect issue not to be able to use your own name wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
"If humans are using emojis as names, support emoji." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
In the early stage, nobody cares. Later stop everything and fix it, deal with optics of getting that wrong. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Security is neither cheap nor easy, alternative is worse. Do common best practises super early on. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
If a human deletes their account, don't just flip a bit and retain all their data. How does your data die? wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
The more data you keep the more threat surface you have. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Don't roll your own auth. You are not going to do better, you will make a monkey jesus. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Stop using the word "secure", imagine there are a pack of rabid lawyers after you. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Extensibility: what makes you sure API is going to be internal forever? If not writing APIs, why aren't you? wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Documentation. Documentation is not state secrets. It's subtle self-promotion. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
People want to see documentation before they buy, do not want to get a sales call. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
"Stop hiding your documentation places where people can't get it." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Developer onboarding. Want to onboard as fast as possible, but making your existing developers do that work. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Take the time to write down the developer onboarding documentation. You will save money. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
What happens if your one build engineers wins the lottery or leaves the country? Can you cut a build? wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
"Secretive build engineers are bad build engineers." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
"Release notes are you most important documents." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Affordance. The subtle clues that tell us how we use something. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
USBs have bad affordance, this is why it takes 3 times to stick them in properly. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
"Just because that's somewhere you think that users should go, that doesn't mean that's where users want it." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Everything works when you are a developer and you have full permissions. What if you don't? wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Acceptance. Find people who are users. Not marketing because don't seem technical. They are. You're wrong. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Find user. Have them do what do every day. Say nothing. Don't say "that's not how it works", works for them. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
"If you can't hire an expert, become a student." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
People don't want to be using software, they want to be refining their pictures, or talking to their friends. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
"Software is a tool, not a friend." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
A11y is a tool, & we are all going to need it. Obviously you should hire an a11y expert. Obviously you won't. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Have you looked at your thing on a non-retina screen? wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
8% of men are colorblind. Almost none of that 8% go into UX development. This is a shame. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Screen readers. Descriptive links. Try hiding your mouse for a week: how miserable is it to use your product? wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Not everyone has the same access to internet. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
"Letting your servers touch the internet is like letting them lick dirty toilets." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
"Think about how it's going to work if you don't have internet." Lot of world does not have good internet. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Age is coming for you. If you won't do it for other people, consider doing it for your future self. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
I think wiredferret just told us we are all going to die. I feel very mortal now. #leaddev #7fights
-
Can't have all 7 fights at once. You will burn out, and piss off your boss. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Write a coding style guide and follow it. Host brown bag lunches to learn. Pair program for best practises. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Ask how much this will cost later. "Money is the root of all business decisions." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Have a team that looks like your users. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
TL;DR: "Don't build in compounding technical debt that you could trivially avoid." wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
Avoid making future self angry. I love that I got credited for past-cate trying to kill future-cate here. wiredferret #leaddev #7fights
-
CharlotteIs i am! in the front row! and I have techspeakdigest stickers for you.
-
Me: "no reasonable person would blame you if you stabbed him." Geek_Manager: "no reasonable person, but possibly the police."
-
danielpunkass have fun!
-
When do you feel great at work? What would it be like to feel like that every day? duretti #leaddev
-
"How do we get the most people to do their best work?" The best process is one that we don't feel. duretti #leaddev
-
A few things are important for a good work environment. Excellence comes back to team dynamics, and so does dysfunction. duretti #leaddev
-
The idea is that the principles for a happy team in general will also correlate to an inclusive team. duretti #leaddev
-
"Tech doesn't just export it's products, but also it's cultural norms." duretti #leaddev
-
If we expect the world to work the way we work, then we need to improve on these processes. duretti #leaddev
-
We are on slack instead of email. Coordination is on the rise. We might spend more than 75% of our day coordinating. duretti #leaddev
-
If a company wants to outstrip competitors, needs to not just influence how people work, but how they work together. duretti #leaddev
-
"Don't know why we didn't call software engineering soft skills, in the name. The hard part is interacting with people." duretti #leaddev
-
A society where everyone is for themselves, normal things like empathy and community are driven out. Don't want that. duretti #leaddev
-
Stop treating these things like weaknesses. These things are strengths. duretti #leaddev
-
"Engaged in my work, but not consumed by my work. I don't think professional successes are the only successes in life." duretti #leaddev
-
A team is a group of people who get together to work on a shared goal. Might be part of multiple teams. duretti #leaddev
-
Norms are very powerful. It's how we as humans enforce group behaviour. duretti #leaddev
-
A good team wants you to win. Has a sense of togetherness. Is safe - has a learning culture. duretti #leaddev
-
Blameless portmortems come out of this idea of vulnerability. Allows to identify structural problems. duretti #leaddev
-
If we could be more honest about our shortcomings, we would get a lot further. duretti #leaddev
-
Vulnerable, connected teams more productive. They also make better decisions - takes a lot of bad ideas to get to good. duretti #leaddev
-
Good teams share control, they care when people are flustered or upset, treat concerns of others like their own. Caring. duretti #leaddev
-
Things that satisfy you as an individual, also satisfy a team. Work is important, meaningful, clearly defined, safe. duretti #leaddev
-
My burnout talk got a shout out from duretti I am here live tweeting and blowing kisses. 💋 #leaddev
-
Want to be able to bring your best self to work. duretti #leaddev
-
Do you practise active listening? Repeat it back? Make sure they know that you've heard them? Baseline if trust. duretti #leaddev
-
Games are surprisingly amazing at fostering human connection. Become more in sync. duretti #leaddev
-
Pair programming! Very rare to we talk about code in concrete terms. Pair programming: nuts and bolts programming w/team. duretti #leaddev
-
Better meetings. Best meeting is the meeting you don't have. If have one, practise good meeting hygiene. duretti #leaddev
-
Have an agenda! Gives people a chance to think about what they are going to say. Good for women, and introverts. duretti #leaddev
-
Great for remote teams, helps them feel more gelled and in sync. Interruption free meetings. duretti #leaddev
-
Women often get interrupted! It's good to get your whole thought out before you get interrupted. duretti #leaddev
-
Chit chat is often the most important part of meeting. This is when you find out what is going on in your coworkers lives. duretti #leaddev
-
Seeing people as humans is the start of connecting with them. duretti #leaddev
-
Giving good feedback is really helpful. But you can't make people do what they don't want to do. duretti #leaddev
-
Even when choice is meaningless, as humans we want it. We all crave autonomy. duretti #leaddev
-
The way that things change over time, is small things that people do that build the basis of popular movements. duretti #leaddev
-
Productivity is a measure of comfort. Good teams unlock a big measure of productivity. Don't surpress your humanity. duretti #leaddev
-
skamille Geek_Manager she is and I doooooooo

rachelandrew that list had a dramatic overnight change and needs to be updated 💔

That appalling man Nigel was on the radio the other day; I realized how much easier to tell a compelling story that has no factual basis.
-
I hope MPs look at the result (and demographics) and the economic consequences and decide to override the popular vote but not optimistic.
-
And by the way let's also remember that a woman - Jo Cox - was murdered over this and there is every chance of more to come.

Mediocre white men with a poor grip on reality are so very very dangerous. Stop putting them in charge.

"I am Imposter Syndrome and so can you." CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Text a friend and ask "are there three awesome things you know about me that you would share?" CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
"As my career progressed, so did the intensity of my feelings of failure." MariaKlawe on imposter syndrome. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Imposter syndrome: a psychological phenomenon where people have trouble internalising their accomplishments. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Not a medical diagnosis. Really, really common. Particularly amongst high achievers. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Have you ever received the message: sorry there's been a mistake, we didn't intent to accept you? CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Usually it's not explicit, but we often get this message implicitly - this is something to fight against. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
What about "we've reviewed your promotion packet, and you're not even qualified for the job you have."? CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Most of the people in this room have experienced imposter syndrome at one time or another, or right now. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
When you realise everyone is experiencing it, paddling under the water like a duck, easier to express your own. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
"Fake it until you make it" results in feeling like you've faked it. Fake until you make it sends that message. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Awful stereotypes tell people that not supposed to be good at what they are doing, they are a fraud. Extra barrier. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Push to the repo, or a showing of your art, when you have told people. First response is good critique. Damaging. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Public critique is really hard, and it's a contributing factor to imposter syndrome. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
We compare our worst to a snapshot of someone else's best. CrystalMHuff #leaddev YES THIS.
-
Being liked vs being competent. People who socialized as women, false dichotomy between being liked and competent. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Results: less effective as collaborators. Less likely to collaborate. Because might reveal that we make mistakes. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
We also ask for less money, fewer promotions, fewer challenges - work issue, because barrier to success. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Important to combat imposter syndrome so can ask for more money. Because they are worth it! CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Results in a lower level of satisfaction in life and work. Lower level of positivity, statistically speaking. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
It's super hard to apply for new jobs when in the throes of imposter syndrome. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Results: marginalisation and silencing. Not speaking up as much. Society has told them not to speak up. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Success is an iceberg. People see the top, but so much underneath - persistence, failure, sacrifice, disappointment. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Ooh found a picture. ithemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/the-iceberg-of-success.jpg CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Watch your words. Don't say "I'm not an expert but" - damaging to yourself and the people around you. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
If you're telling yourself "I'm so stupid I can't..." you will start to believe it, even if didn't originally. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Say instead "I am really working on that" - I am challenged, but I am trying. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Another way to combat imposter syndrome is documentation. Helps your community if you document things. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
(I really believe in documentation haha) CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
If you can look back at things and see how far you've come, you've shown progress. Helps. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
It's important to knowledge your successes and part of that is acknowledging them! Document for yourself and others. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Talk to your friends, they may have better perspective and helpful to get outside your own brain. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
This is also why it's helpful to have someone else write your resume. They may remember things you don't. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Asking questions is really hard but really useful. Show community that people can make mistakes and it will be OK. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Asking questions helps people get on the same page - no-one knows everything. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
"The only person you need to compare yourself with is who you were yesterday." CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Make mentorship a first class activity. Should not be seen as class of people should do unpaid emotional labour. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Actually wearing a "JUST SAY NO to thankless emotional labour" tshirt today. Very pleased with this outfit choice. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Critique is important: makes things better. But critique with kindness. Critique is more easily heard and integrated. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
Fan of complements. They create a community with more positivity. Improve on your complements. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
When giving complements: make them positive, not physical, specific, honest. CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
People believe specific complements more! CrystalMHuff #leaddev
-
I love that CrystalMHuff is illustrating this with a very specific and detailed complement to the event organizers. #leaddev
-
Complements are great! They make this positivity impact everyone in the room. CrystalMHuff #leaddev

When trying to change habits, find yourself a replacement behaviour. Easier to do something instead than just stop. CrystalMHuff #leaddev

When trying to help others, think about what makes you happy. CrystalMHuff #leaddev

Store things that make you happy - cat pictures, complements, thank you notes. Refer to them later. CrystalMHuff #leaddev

Hiring requirements: clever, competent, kind. Trying to build a team that doesn't create imposter syndrome. CrystalMHuff #leaddev

NeoNacho lol no it's much more detailed :)

This morning rands spoke TheLeadDev where he talked game about diversity whilst undermining a woman of color from his own company. Classy.
-
Part of that work is making an extra effort to credit people. geek_manager/746265068615122948
-
Anyway it's good that men are speaking about diversity but please remember that actions speak louder than words.
-
RT ashedryden: catehstn a few years ago he did the whole “older women are incapable of technical thought” at a conf. 🚮 rands TheLeadDev
-
CrystalMHuff thanks for giving it!
-
Call out powerful man -> ominous silence -> Twitter forces password change because of "unusual activity".
-
But of course, tech is a well-meaning meritocracy. Everything is fine. Carry on.
-
KathleenLD yup
-
jamiecobbett similar topic, did not make a point to name check her.
-
r343l oh interesting.
-
r343l yeah I imagine people wouldn't have liked that lol
-
r343l very similar topic and did not name check her.
-
r343l I read one of his books and used to read his blog. But if you are gonna talk about diversity make an effort you know?
-
r343l exactly.

Excited for "How to Get Better at Hiring Without Really Trying" by mseckington #leaddev
-
Found it hard to describe what she does. Hard to capture it. Dev evangelism, relations... roles that are ad-replacing. mseckington #leaddev
-
Actually whilst there is some overlap, the goal and intent behind it is really different. mseckington #leaddev
-
About creating a relationship between your product and developers, getting them to want to use it. mseckington #leaddev
-
Employee evangelism - about creating conversation between team and potential employees outside your company. mseckington #leaddev
-
Rather than having a single person be the evangelist, you want the entire team to contribute. mseckington #leaddev
-
Make your team badass! Compelling context, compelling reason, help them keep wanting to, help them improve. mseckington #leaddev
-
First step having something worth talking about. If want people to talk about a place being great, has to be great. mseckington #leaddev
-
Be authentic. Stories your team will tell need to come from them. mseckington #leaddev
-
"On their death bed, nobody will say: 'if only I'd engaged more with brands'" - Kathy Sierra. mseckington #leaddev
-
Be open. Can't talk about everything, but be clear about what the team can talk about and share. mseckington #leaddev
-
Give each person a compelling reason. Helping others - these people share what they know, because helps someone else. mseckington #leaddev
-
Build confidence in communication - becoming a better speaker or writer can help people in their jobs. mseckington #leaddev
-
Building personal reputation. They want to be in the spotlight. Want to be experts on a specific thing. mseckington #leaddev
-
Understand team's motivations, will help you encourage your team to share what they do, and build skills they need. mseckington #leaddev
-
What are each person's fears and blockers? Valid reasons to stop, or never start. Once you know, can make a plan. mseckington #leaddev
-
What moves people forward? Set a goal, and help them break down and move towards it. mseckington #leaddev
-
Share your path. Make sure your team know what you're doing and how you got there. mseckington #leaddev
-
How do you help them improve? Perpetual expose. To become better at something, you need to be exposed to it. mseckington #leaddev
-
Start a library. Not just books - articles, videos. Anything you think is worth sharing with your team. mseckington #leaddev
-
Have a list of recommended resources for getting started with things. mseckington #leaddev
-
Watch a video together of a talk someone loved. Then discuss what want to changed based on it. mseckington #leaddev
-
Highlight existing good content - emails, commit messages. What could be exposed to the outside world? mseckington #leaddev
-
Be the voice that champions the work that they are already doing. mseckington #leaddev
-
Give them the time and space to practise. People need to build these skills gradually. mseckington #leaddev
-
sjkilleen ofc go ahead!
-
Get people started writing small paragraphs, contributing to a blog post. Internal blog is also a good stepping stone. mseckington #leaddev
-
Pair on writing a blog post! We pair on writing code, why not writing as well? mseckington #leaddev
-
Need to create a supportive environment if you want to get everyone involved. mseckington #leaddev
-
Last round of hiring, 50% of interviewees mentioned seeing a talk or reading a blogpost - volunteers info, not asked. mseckington #leaddev
-
Employee evangelism is great for your company, but also great for your community. mseckington #leaddev
-
Love remote work, but it's not without it's challenges. Have to learn how to do things differently. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
zmagg my heart is broken
-
sjkilleen amazing! all credit to mseckington for that talk though :)
-
First daily challenge to being in a distributed team, need to think about things differently. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Remote team - you may not get introduced to everyone. Get an email in a laptop, wait for people to come online. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
First thing you have to deal with timezones. Been asked to attend meetings at 11pm or 2am. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Had to learn how to say "no", and it's not always easy. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Try and rotate meetings. Not fair for one of your team to always come in early, or to always work late. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Make things flexible. Have a day when start late and finish late. One day, not every day. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Chances are you work longer days when you're not in the office. Try and get your hours to work for you. Have a life. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Watercooler effect. Conversations happen over coffee. Decision is made without you. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
When decisions are made offline, bring it back online - communicate it. Send an email! Or a meeting! Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Don't cut off your teammates or penalise them for not being in the office. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Try and be consistent with your tools. Makes things a lot easier, then people know how to get hold of you. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
I love this by dianakimball and feel much better about my inability to buy a kettle - Pragmatic Shopping - buff.ly/2914Ved
-
Try not to stereotype people, understand what is culturally normal. E.g. European's take vacation. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Say thankyou! It makes people feel appreciated. It's two little words. Use it more often. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Believe more people would be successful if they had mentoring. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Don't have connection of drinks or food after work when work remotely, you have to find a different way. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Team get togethers are important, really unify a team. Czajkowski #leaddev
-
Yay got my 4th shout out from the stage TheLeadDev! Thanks Geek_Manager :)
-
Next up is my adored skamille talking about rebooting culture 💜💋 #leaddev
-
"You do not lead by hitting people over the head. That's assault not leadership" - Eisenhower. skamille #leaddev
-
Left grad school, didn't know if could be an effective engineer. Went to know at Goldman - hadn't heard of them before. skamille #leaddev
-
Learned could get work done. Write tests, see if it works. Deploy every week. Had come from MSFT. Every 5 years if lucky. skamille #leaddev
-
Realised couldn't have the impact that she wanted without a team. Left Goldman, went to Rent the Runway. skamille #leaddev
-
Started as director of infra eng. Was doing a big rewrite of a drupal/PHP monolith, into micro-services. skamille #leaddev
-
Poster: "If you don't test your commits, I will bury you" - this is what she's like to work for. skamille #leaddev
-
Had a cultural segfault, person who had hired her left. No clear succession plan. Lots of people also at risk of leaving. skamille #leaddev
-
Put hand up, got appointed as interim head of tech. Thought would be OK because charming and smart and code well. skamille #leaddev
-
Didn't know how to be an exec, didn't really know how to be a manager. First review: "you've created a culture of fear". skamille #leaddev
-
This is not a message you want to hear! When you care about the people who work for you. Was a wake up call. skamille #leaddev
-
Realised needed to learn how to lead people and not assault people. How to help people gel. Keep people wanting to work.skamille #leaddev
-
Wasn't a massive change, but these things take a long time. Takes a long time to improve people's impressions of you. skamille #leaddev
-
Releasing code a lot is really important. Helping engineers work fast is one of the best things you can do for your team. skamille #leaddev
-
Did big rewrite. Screwed up some things. Tried to architect for failure tolerance. So had really complicated thing. skamille #leaddev
-
"Are git submodules ever a good idea?" skamille #leaddev
-
Did deployments once a week, but took 4 hours. Sent a team away, got rid of submodules, made it faster. skamille #leaddev
-
Started shipping every day. Made people happier immediately - engineers like to ship. skamille #leaddev
-
People want to work on something tangible, want to be able to say that they work on what they do best. skamille #leaddev
-
If you have scarcity anywhere, people compete. Even when they love each other. skamille #leaddev
-
Be impatient. Be impatient about processes that are slow, technical bottlenecks that slow people down. skamille #leaddev
-
If you have tasks that seem slow, ask how can you make them faster? skamille #leaddev
-
The thing about structure, is that it just is. Good structure helps you get context quickly. skamille #leaddev
-
Very rarely does structure get imposed for no reason. Might seem that way. But comes about because something happened. skamille #leaddev
-
If you don't know what that structure is built on, you will question it. Structure in general comes from failure. skamille #leaddev
-
Developers, when faced with a structure, will be included to just get rid of it. skamille #leaddev
-
Created RTR job ladder, came from failure. People had random titles, and made random amounts of money. skamille #leaddev
-
Created a vague ladder, and wanted to make people less stressed. But made people more stressed. skamille #leaddev
-
My 5th call out "Ambiguity is a bias vector" (and Camille says I am right) skamille #leaddev
-
Created a more detailed ladder, still not perfect, but much better. skamille #leaddev
-
Learning review - very rarely single root causes, usually many root causes of failure. skamille #leaddev
-
When you see that something has failed, interrogate the structures around that failure. skamille #leaddev
-
Structure is about figuring out what to do, not how. If can write detailed instructions about how, ask if can script it. skamille #leaddev
-
A detailed list of instructions is micromanaging; humans aren't very good at following a detailed list of instructions. skamille #leaddev
-
Relatedness. A feeling of belonging. As an IC, queen of efficiency over relatedness. skamille #leaddev
-
Was effective, and efficient, but only because role did not encompass a large number of people. skamille #leaddev
-
As manager, business only sense very harmful. Treating 1:1s like status update. Undercut people feeling like could share. skamille #leaddev
-
Vulnerability is the opposite of fear. Psychological safety is the most important sign of a healthy team. skamille #leaddev
-
Baseline dysfunction of a team is absence of trust. Trust that even when don't know why, it's not a threat, can learn. skamille #leaddev
-
"You do not apologise by saying I'm sorry you feel that way. That is not an apology." skamille #leaddev
-
Guilt is an okay emotion. The best thing to do with guilt is admit it, and apologise. Then move on. skamille #leaddev
-
When you swallow those feelings of guilt, they become shame. Shame is a toxic thing. skamille #leaddev
-
As a leader, practise apologising. Show people that you are a big enough person to screw up and apologise for it. skamille #leaddev
-
1:1s are really important, even if not a manager, take the time to engage with people 1:1. It's important. skamille #leaddev
-
"You can actually care about people more by pretending to care" - ask them how they are, and listen. skamille #leaddev
-
Conflict. Some people like it. Some people hate it. Whether like it or fear it, you need healthy conflict on your teams. skamille #leaddev
-
Conflict is when opinions come out, when you hear what they say. Don't insist on a solution. Insist on specificity. skamille #leaddev
-
Whether you like or hate conflict, replace conflict with curiosity. If aggressive as a leader, shuts people down. skamille #leaddev
-
Ask questions. If you disagree, ask why. You'll find out more about it. Get opinions out, without arguments. skamille #leaddev
-
"If you have a bunch of boring meetings, you don't have enough conflict." skamille #leaddev
-
Whatever level of leadership you are, be less tolerant of boring meetings, but don't abandon them. skamille #leaddev
-
If enough people want to talk about something, maybe you should talk about it. Don't insist on taking offline. skamille #leaddev
-
"Don't settle for an environment when you can't ask questions." skamille #leaddev
-
"Empathy is a learnable skill" - just ask people how they are, and make the time to know yourself. Feel your feels. skamille #leaddev
-
"It's okay to have the full range of human emotions." skamille #leaddev
-
Empathy - you deserve to have your feelings, and other people have feelings too. skamille #leaddev
-

On a cheeky nandos, CharlotteIs says "it's when the lads get drunk and go and eat chicken."
-
Honestly I called this out because I think it's a classic mistake when men talk about diversity and this kind of response is also textbook.
-
Not crediting, not being mindful about context. Please have the conversations about diversity but be mindful about unintentional erasure.
-
In my experience men who actually GAF about diversity listen when called out. Disappointed in what this suggests about inclusivity SlackHQ

don't often start fights on the Internet but if I do I'm probably already angry at appalling men named Nigel starting the end of the world.
-
I leave uk in 10 hours and the topic of the next where the hell is cate is how the brexit destroyed part of my identity and broke my heart.
-
I may also opine on how men named Nigel are the root of all evil.
-
Any man who annoyed me today I was like "I bet his name is really Nigel".

NeoNacho yes

Ages ago someone asked me about the brexit and I said "no way, the economy would collapse" and I guess I was half right about that.
-
I also made some dire predictions about the NHS who employ a LOT of EU healthcare workers. That will take longer to play out.
-
I am actually increasingly optimistic that the brexit will not happen but even if mitigated the consequences will be dire.

Anyway now maybe people will start believing me when I tell them British people are terrible.

Perfectly willing to call Copa but the right phone number would have really helped.
-
Per a phone convo in Spanish it may or may not be arriving in ~2 hours. I know, serves me right for flying united.
-
united yes. But the problem was your operators wouldn't give me a phone number that I could reach copa baggage on.

louislhansen they change it every month.
-
Okay I am entering a store of Domestic Objects and Foods. My goal is to buy a kettle.
-
Things I have found: so many coffee makers, many things for chopping, irons, microwaves, fridges. Things I have not found: a kettle.
-
louislhansen oh no there was an ice rink in January and some kind of farm race track thing.
-
skamille oh so it is a kettle and not a coffee machine?
-
It is not clear to me that people have kettles in Colombia. I now need to find someone and try and explain what a kettle is in Spanish.
-
Okay there are apparently no kettles in that store of Domestic Objects. He has sent me to another store but did not seem at all confident.
-
My convo with the guy went roughly "I want a machine to heat water. No not for coffee. Only for tea. Yes. Just heat the water."
-
Since I was already indulging in uncharacteristic behaviour I also bought a teapot and some food*. * Pre-toasted toast.
-
plragde you mean aside from twitter dot com?

It's nice that people are getting an education on the EU now but really 1-3 months ago would have been more helpful.
-
People who voted leave mainly voted for a fantasy world that doesn't and can't exist. But that wasn't at all clear from campaigning.
-
Anyway I hope the rest of Europe learns not just that British people are ridiculous and terrible but also what a great thing the EU is.

Why is no politician trying to get a mandate for "we should not leave the EU - that vote was advisory and now we see the consequences"?

Also the referendum was a misinformation campaign. How is that legal? It was a massive con of the electorate.
