We are doing three pies for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. That is it. Three pies. Nothing else. Pumpkin. Pecan. Apple. Done.

In every tech organization, there are some people that seem to know every system, everybody, and every problem. They're super helpful, and save coworkers months of wasted efforts, by short-circuiting dead end paths, sharing efficient workflows, knowing which services already exist, and generally having great technical judgement.

*None of those skills are quantifiable on performance reviews, other than peers saying thanks (if they're lucky).

*Many underrepresented engineers fill these roles.

@suzisteffen I actually enjoy the work -- I know most people don't. Make sure to find Audrey on BSky, she is starting to use it.

I write my newsletter for @api at the end of each week, then I edit it Monday morning before sending out -- it is a great way to understand the previous week and then prepare for the upcoming week.

@carpetbomberz Nope. Kias are meant to free range by design. ;-)

@Marrekoo @mlanger Yep. Apparently parking enforcement innovation. ;-)

Saw the Barnacle parking enforcement in action today

@mlanger IDK. Only lived here a year -- moved from california. We will see!!

@kin Thanks Kin for the great write-up. I actually share a lot of your concerns. I think that I love the “magic” of technology when it is useful (of course), understandable and when I can explain it. Referring to the giants shoulders we build new things upon is a key thing in this process - and the lack of attribution in AI ruins my confidence in it. I hope some great story tellers will stand! 😉
