To me, this is about developing good habits and persisting: “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” - Robert Collier
Love this quote - “The best-kept secret of successful leaders is love: staying in love with leading, with the people who do the work, with what their organizations produce, and with those who honor the organization by using its work.” - James Kouzes and Barry Posner
TIL about .github repository (no, not the folder…the repository). Easy way to have default issue, pr, etc. templates for any new repos I create on Github. Nice! #github #git #softwareengineering freecodecamp.org/news/how-to…

"The Great Resignation" is unlike anything we've ever seen before. One economist is working to understand how the effects of the pandemic are reshaping our economic choices — and rewiring our brains. (@planetmoney)

Im finding that the term "digital by default" is really resonating with me. Doesn't mean we can’t get together. Doesn't mean we don't collaborate. It means we bias towards tools and processes that scale across geographic/physical boundaries. #digitalbydefault
Next hockey coaching advanced metric: how many minutes do players stand still per hour of practice? How could you cut it in half? #youthhockey #coaching
We talk all the time about advanced metrics for players. Here’s an advanced metric for coaches. How many touches on the puck do your players get per hour of practice? What could you change to double it? #youthhockey #coaching
So...why does Lavs “need” to decide in next six games? Trotz decided on Grubauer before #ALLCAPS won Stanley Cup with Holtby. Only decision is who starts first game thehockeywriters.com/capital…

Not dismissing the benefits (and blessing) of working from home but I do miss listening to podcasts on my commute
TIL about negativity bias. Favorite part of this great episode - The myth of turning your hobby into a job with writer Aley Arion — Hanselminutes with Scott Hanselman buff.ly/3awbxBy
Needed https on localhost for development of a microfrontend - thanks @madnals! How to use HTTPS for local development #https #webdevelopment buff.ly/2Muho1X
It drives me insane when simple things like the back button and "deep" links don't work in a single-page-app
Thanks @deleteman123! The brillIance of this post is not that the concepts are novel-it’s that anyone who’s been in it this long says “yep!” - required read for jr engineers - 9 Hard Lessons I Struggled to Learn During My 18 Years as a Software Developer buff.ly/3a2S8t5
Thanks @invoker! These polls are fascinating. Would love to see a poll regarding the effect everyone working from home has had on unconscious locality bias. - “I Asked 1.7 Million People About Remote Work. Here’s What They Said” buff.ly/3gzpvFo #wfh
A lot is misunderstood about Scrum and a lot has changed over the years. It’s worth reading the Scrum guide again (or for the first time) - buff.ly/2VDjvBK - Thank you @kschwaber and @jeffsutherland!
