Make space for people in meetings you run, but also help make space for people in big meetings! I've been told my whole life the tone of my voice is hard to miss/ignore, so now I use it to make space for people in meetings 💁‍♀️😂 #LeadDevLondon @Jemolova

Great talk from .@Jemolova on making enough space for all folks in meetings. "If you're comfortable to, call out if you're spoken over" can be even more powerful if someone in a more senior position points it out and demands others to give that person space. #LeadDevLondon

Nice framing by @HumayraHanif on stepping into engineering leadership - it’s about moving from a contributor to a multiplier. #LeadDevLondon

This is brutal to read, and a brave account by @eminietfeld. This is also one of the reasons why minorities try to find jobs where they feel safe and listened to, instead of worrying about other things people think they should worry about first. nytimes.com/2021/04/07/opini…

The Financial Times shared this nice library of data visualizations. Seems really useful if you’re considering to share some kind of data and wondering what type of display is a good fit. ft-interactive.github.io/vis…

Alright folks, gather round and let me tell you the story of (almost) the biggest engineering disaster I’ve ever had the misfortune of being involved in. It’s a tale of politics, architecture and the sunk cost fallacy [I’m drinking an Aberlour Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch]

I’m gonna have to get a glass of whiskey to answer this properly.

Looking back on these five years, there is a LOT we are proud of. A nonprofit certificate authority with 90-day cert lifetimes, totally reliant on donations... five years later, helping to secure over 230M domains.

Career progressions: “Cool, let’s build stuff!” “Are we building this stuff right?” “Wait, are we building the right stuff?” “Which other stuff could we build for the long-term?” “Should we be the ones building the stuff?” “Is stuff even the right industry to be in?”

My phones calendar keeps suggesting the nearby brewery as the meeting point for work meetings. Is it anticipating how i feel after meetings? 🤔
