If you’re getting explicit buy-in from leadership about technical debt you can be assured that whoever was in your role previously failed badly at keeping engineering aligned and in step with the overall goals of the business.

What I see is not so much the death of blogging, people certainly still do it and there are always going to be people doing that. Even when diaries were private and only for themselves.
The death is in communication and engagement (not the growth hacker kind, the human kind) amongst writers and readers. I don’t think most people are looking for a huge audience, but even a small number of people who regularly read and give the author some kind of feedback is a big incentive.
These days there is so so much noise, comment sections are dead due to SEO/spam, and it’s easy to feel like you’re just shouting into the ether without any hope of human connect across any amount of space or time.
If you have the ability to have a successful NFT sale that would raise funds for your startup, then that should be the startup.
That’d be great, it would inform my decision to cease doing business with that CEO/company as quickly as possible.
On the contrary this is exactly what I want to see from executives regardless of their political leanings. If they believe that something is a clear and direct threat to the business that they’re charged with running, they should have a fiduciary duty to speak up on it in whatever means they have available.
Following that those receiving the message can decide to continue to support the business or not. But I’d rather have that than the weasel word non answers approach that many execs take.
Gastropod had a great episode about potatoes that touched on this and a lot of the myths / great man of history stories about the introduction of the potato into Europe. Worth a listen if you’re into food, history, and related topics https://gastropod.com/this-spuds-for-you/
Isn’t COVID likely to be the #1 killer of most professions in 2020/2021, since most professions are mercifully not that dangerous anymore?
LEO isn’t in the top 10 of the life threatening profession list in US, https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/27/the-10-most-dangerous-jobs-i.... I’d wager COVID was also the #1 killer of retail clerks, florists, and probably software engineers for the last two years as well.

If it’s economically viable, there is no way that this isn’t used against buyers as part of planned obsolescence schemes.
I was about to recommend the same thing. This was a great episode in an already great series!
Fine to use whatever tool that works for you. Using the words “clients” here with reference to Hugo is confusing though, as clients would never be effected by it. The way I read that bug, it would be Hugo itself that is effected and crashes at generation time.
I always love when people realize the power and simplicity that can come with static serving of mostly unchanging datasets. It can vastly speed up development in many cases.
If you need a simple version of this, Hugo is a great and well proven option. Push onto your CDN of choice and you’ve got a blazing fast static json api.
| "Don't trust anyone in your hobby who is making money off their social media account."
That is a remarkably accurate, but sad observation. There’s always been folks trying to hustle in various hobbies and interest groups, but these days they seem to take up all the oxygen in a space.
The glossy image/clip video nature of things seem unavoidable and make many people with humbler aspirations more reluctant to share their works, thoughts, and perspectives if they aren’t able to be turned into the visual equivalent of a sound bite.
The writing and prioritizing stories and backlog grooming is exactly what a PM should be doing. Leading the standups seems to happen often but I see it as an anti pattern.
But talking about how the team builds systems, who’s doing the building, and things like that should never be within the domain of a PM.
Really? I’ve often seen HR not really understanding it, but engineering leadership ceding the people management aspects of the job to a PM is next level neglect.
Good Product Manager/Bad Product Manager

That’s probably a fair, if charitable, assessment.
But if the IC is having to dig to understand what a manager means then the manager has failed at one of their core duties, being communication channels through the company. If someone isn’t a good communicator they’re definitely not going to be a good manager.
Product managers aren’t (or at least aren’t supposed to be) developer managers and is not what is being discussed in the article.
this is highly dependent on the strike price.
Though if you're an early enough employee to be getting a strike price that you can exercise without any worry (on the order of $x00) then you probably should be getting stock directly vs options anyway.
That is fair, and an understandable position to have.
My thoughts are that if upstream can already see the requests coming from my network to be able to resolve them then I might as well get the benefits of having more visibility and customization of it since privacy has already been given up for the service.
