In #software engineering a feature can be done fast (velocity), well (quality), OR cheaply (cost) but never all three at the same time. @Adadotteam

FEATURE ALERT! @Adadotteam now uses AI to help each developer uncover what workflows get them in a state of Flow. Adadot provides each developer with personalised recommendations to help them reach that happy place as consistently and frequently as possible.

NEW INTEGRATION ALERT: @Adadotteam now integrates with @NotionHQ ! As many engineering teams are now looking towards alternative project management tools to JIRA, Adadot is rolling out a new integration with Notion. Take it for a spin!

before starting a company i fully did not appreciate how rare it is for people to follow through on what they say they’re going to do (employees, investors, advisors, contractors, service providers, biz partners…) when you find someone good, hang on for dear life

Under-explored aspect of the LLM landscape: Who has access to proprietary data to train models?? OpenAI, Anthropic --> Nothing Google --> Youtube Meta --> Facebook and IG public content Amazon, MSFT, Apple --> Nothing I suspect this will be a huge factor in the coming year

Nice post. Interesting to see that larger PRs does not necessarily mean bigger lead times. But still, from personal experience, I know that 4-5 files PRs get merged much faster, than 40-50 PRs. Been having to deal with the latter multiple times. It's just pain.

Does the size of the #pullrequest affect the timing of its review? We at @adadotteam looked at 30k developer datasets so that you dont have to. insights.adadot.com/2023/11/…

Working out early is a superpower anyone can add to their lives I don’t understand people that don’t do it. I’ll wake up dead and then end up running 10 miles, lifting some heavy weights, and feeling like I’m going to conquer the world

Life is a lot like surfing – some waves come by that you might miss, others you might rip perfectly, lots you'll totally wipe out on... If you spend your life being anxious about the waves you missed or daydreaming about the waves you nailed, you might just miss the next one 🏄‍♂️

As a developer, it is important to mark the wins 🏆, whether you squashed your first 10 bugs 🐛 in a new company or you completed 50 reviews since your promotion. After popular demand we have now introduced brand new milestone-based badges with epic visuals! @Adadotteam

Zoom is very good at detecting when I'm running late for an important meeting so it can force me to install an update – at Manhattan, NY

British Dynamism! 🇬🇧
Just met @pmarca and the @a16z team. One of Silicon Valley’s most famous VC funds, they’ve chosen London for their first office outside the US. We spoke about their plans for the UK market, and the opportunity for the UK to be world leading on tech and AI.

90% of “business” is really just constantly following up with people.

How to make code reviews friendlier? With the use of emojis! Code Reactions in a free, #OpenSource #vscode plugin that allows devs to react with emojis on any repo from their IDE 😀 😬 😁 😂 😃 @Adadotteam
