Here is the John Oliver segment. It's 26 minutes of... surprisingly warranted criticism? It's funny, but also feels like it cuts to the heart of why McKinsey is hard to like (or take seriously). youtube.com/watch?v=AiOUojVd…

Datadog had its first global outage 2.5 months ago. ~2 weeks ago, their CEO said, on earnings: "I encourage everyone to read [the postmortem] because it's a fascinating document." But the company published no postmortem, still! I did this for them now: newsletter.pragmaticengineer…

Early in my career, I had a mental "ranking" of which companies I imagined were the best in the world. Back then, Google was my #1 spot. As I gained more experience and met more people, I realized that this type of thinking misses how your team is as important as the company.

If you're a software engineer, your main job is maintaining legacy code. Why? Because building a system doesn't take long, in comparison to how long code will last, assuming the code/business are successful. Here are the 10 commandments of maintaining legacy code. 🧵

I've grown a bit disillusioned by GraphQL. I hoped it would solve the problem of "kitchen sink" REST endpoints, but it seems to just have its own "kitchen sink" queries anyway. Maybe keeping state in two places was never going to work.

My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user" Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby

BREAKING-Metro says it will have to reduce service on the Blue, Orange and Silver Lines from every 15 minutes to every 25 minutes starting tomorrow lasting through most of the week to comply with recent directives from @MetrorailSafety. Train operator training is the issue #wmata

Y'all I didn't realize the native HTML date picker had gotten so good! Is there a reason to use one of the complicated JS libraries instead of this? The only things I can think of are ranges and custom styling. Anything else?

In memory of @ChrisGSeaton, a giant. tenderlovemaking.com/2022/12…

In Memory of a Giant

The Ruby community has lost a giant. As a programmer, I always feel as if I’m standing on the shoulders of giants. Chris Seaton was one of those giants. I’ve been working at the same company as Chris...

I'm heartbroken to share this news about our dear friend and colleague, @ChrisGSeaton.
Screenshot of a message from Shopify's Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team that includes: Our dear friend and colleague Chris Seaton passed away last Saturday, December 3rd. Chris was an important part of our team at Shopify, and a notable figure in the Ruby community, and we are deeply saddened by our collective loss. Chris accomplished much in his life. He completed a Ph.D., rose to be Squadron Leader in the British Army Reserve, and started a young family. Chris began the TruffleRuby project in 2013 as an intern at Oracle Labs and stewarded it into a full-fledged Ruby implementation. Chris advanced the state of the art in dynamic language optimization, co-authoring 16 publications, contributing to countless others, and establishing both the Ruby Bibliography archive of Ruby research publications and the Ruby Compiler Survey. For his efforts, he was a Ruby Prize finalist in 2016. Chris’s papers, essays, and code contributions are currently archived at chrisseaton.com.

NEW: The designers leading Elon Musk’s Blue verified project are out, along with the lead web engineer. Many Twitter employees who maintained critical infrastructure have resigned. This is going to look like a very different company tomorrow.
