In sales, success is easy to measure, money.
In marketing, success is easy to measure, leads.
In development, what do you use to measure success?

When designing software, there is risk of over engineering if you focus only on the long term.
If you focus only on the short term, you risk loads of tech debt.
What is the right balance between long term and short term solutioning?

I heard an interesting theory today, the more frequently a developer deploys changes in an app, the more unstable it is. When they don’t deploy for a period of time, it’s more stable.
What do you think?

The further I get into my career, the more I realize that the more knowledge of your business you have and the more technical knowledge you have, it creates this overlap, where you can apply the technology to any business problem.
The bigger the overlap, the more useful you are

Pro tip, when you are processing large amounts of data, create iterative checkpoints where you save the data to a file.
This will protect you if your internet dies or your computer glitches.

Firecrawl is an SDK built by
@mendableai
, which crawls and converts any website into an LLM ready markdown. If you are building LLM tools that require any sort of web scraping, this is the SDK for you.

There's many different ways you can innovate:
- Design a new process
- Build a new app

I heard of this EdTech company which had 39 junior software developers fresh out of college, and 2 more experienced engineers.

I've worked for 5 year old startups and corporations, both of which have "legacy" code bases. Legacy code bases can be difficult to work in.
What recommendations do you have when working in legacy code bases?

Came across this app called
@twentycrm
. Salesforce offers email communication between the client and the company. If Twenty can use AI to auto generate responses and allow for building workflows from cases, this would be huge!

I’ve noticed there are a chunk of people who follow you, wait for a follow back, then unfollow.
Doing that feels like signing up with a new bank to get free stuff and canceling immediately

Over the years, I’ve seen that software engineers really fall into these two groups in order to complete a task/project
- Those who need little detail
- Those who need high detail
Which do you fall into?

I was asked by my manager, "within the company, what is the one thing you want to be known for?"
- The go to person for full stack dev?
- Being the best with GenAI?
- The driver of the next product?
What do you want to be known for?

Let's say that you have a high performing software development manager and a low performing software development manager.
Additionally, you have a high performing software development team and a low performing software development team.
Which team do you place the high
