Things are so dire at home that I'm also doing all the cooking. Can't wait for daycare sickness to stop oof

This reinforces my idea I shared the other day. The focus should now on refining how to make it better, once you get there you can increase the speed and see productivity gains. I'm hoping that the time needed to get to the desired higher quality is enough for DX (main bottleneck) to catch up!

Mom I'm famous! Stream processing was mentioned!

Today more relevant than ever. To every leader out there, keep the bar high.

KTLO fatigue is real

Finally writing down some thoughts about the Pragmatic Summit. Going in order of what I was able to attend live at this awesome event!

Oh wow getfresh.dev this is pretty dope! Just giving it a go right now

Change is inevitable and I always admire people who can see the opportunities that come with it. Especially when the change is not what you expect or what you hoped for.

Stay tuned here! I know I have some followers from Austin!

I don't buy into the future with very flat hierarchies and an unreasonable amount of direct reports (30+). When I hear this I only think that people don't understand what being a good lead means and the human aspect of it. How shallow will you be during growth review?

JIRA got me so frustrated that I built my own UI on top of it and life is better.

Just one more prompt...

There have been some interesting tales on what lead/manager roles will look like in the AI future. Some were pretty wild, can't wait to write about it.

Whoa I haven't been at Trader Joe's in so long!

On my flight to SFO for the Pragmatic Summit! Woohoo Pretty sure I don't know anyone who's going but let me know if you need a buddy tomorrow!

Have a chat with Phil!

It's a shame some get a very wrong idea about engineering management because they had a really bad one. Now they think that's what the role is. I had bad ones too and they helped me learn the type of manager I didn't want to be. Good managers make a difference and I try my best to be one of those!

This is a pretty cool list to follow, highly recommended!

I don't even play Stardew Valley but went on a binge of interviews of Eric. Pretty inspiring stuff and he seems quite chill about it all. Curious to see what Haunted Chocolatier is all about!

Oof it took a whole 1 day of school for the little one to get terribly sick. Here we go again...

All this 360 end-of-the-year feedback is making me dizzy.

I don't know if it qualifies as innovation, but the spelling of "Na'cole" certainly does for me. First time I see it!

Send happy thoughts. I'm updating the BIOS.

I wanted to start the new year on the right foot. Not every developer productivity project should be set a side for yet more feature work. All you need is better framing! Genuinely, some stakeholders need help understanding the value proposition.

Please everyone, read more! I'd love for these stats to look better next year.

Look mom, I have an RSS feed now!

You can do it too! Check out my journaling habit after a whole year, I think I'll appreciate even more on year 2 when I get to revisit memories from the year prior. The "one line a day" approach really made this an approachable new habit.

AI is only going to be more and more integrated with the development lifecycle. That is not a good reason to give up on juniors and I believe companies that stopped investing in them will regret it down the line.

The one thing I picked up joining a new company right at the beginning of COVID is being comfortable in zoom calls with plenty of strangers.

Every time I try to be more active online, I am reminded of how much content filtering I need to do. I'm not saying it's not worth it, but it is definitely tiring. Not sure how y'all do it.

Can sometime at LinkedIn please fix their mobile website. It's unusable and I refuse to download another app.

Support for education is incredibly important to me. So to celebrate the holidays I'm running a fundraiser until Jan 1st. I'll take a 30-minute call with anyone who donates $50 to one of these educational non-profits. I'm kicking things off by donating $500 to Girls Who Code.

I feel so accomplished. I just reached a whole year of journaling every day. Let's get to 5!

Currently reading Code Health Guardian. Stay tuned for some thoughts.

We are roughly at 80 days to the end of the year. I would recommend to help yourself reaching your goals with small measurable progress you can look at every other day. Those should build up to bigger milestones and help you keeping momentum. Don't set the bar too high from the start!

I didn't expect n8m to be this fun. I just started a few workflows, and 2.5 hours went by so fast. I think I actually got done way more than I thought I would. Pretty impressive!

Fun times discussing complexity as part of the reading group going over "Code Health Guardian"!

Latest short thought on AI Application systems, mostly based on our reading group. gabrielecimato.com/thoughts/too...

Currently reading this and it's nostalgia right away. I love any story about the creation of the Internet, the web or in general any journey to such wonderful innovation. Thank you for taking the time to tell us your story!

Less than 100 days until the end of the year. I am 4 books behind my yearly goal, but I'm catching up fast!

TIL China got its first IP address in 1994

I've been off social media for so long that I forgot how good BlueSky can be with custom feeds. So nice!

yay I finally added at protocol to my domain!

As I've recently found myself being able to resume a sustainable routine, I thought I would share a few things I've learned about myself and about learning in a brief post.

I felt like sharing my last post since I'm almost done with the new one: gabrielecimato.com/writing/risi...

Finally regaining my sanity with a lot of offline activities. It's quite refreshing. You should try it! I think even just doodling is a good start.

There's really such a wide variety of points of view when it comes to AI and vibe coding. I joined an AI lunch event just a few days ago and ideas and opinions were flying around without pause, exciting times to be in the industry and connect with others.
