and Sanura N'Jaka on fragments. It's the most in-depth technical talk, on a unbeloved topic, with a really great twist on how to get testable/isolatable fragments and strict mode. 👏

L8 here. My 0.02$: narrative building is a key IC7+ skill, but it’s in service to the goal: how do you deliver impact?
Crystal clear understanding of impact levers and tradeoffs is inherently narrative building. First to yourself, then small group, and then collaborators.

The more senior you become in your career, the closer your role resembles HR.
At this point I care about company-wide interview loops & promotions as much as I do about core architectural components and coding.
This. Is. Critical.
The data we saw right after pandemic work-from-home is that engineers were ~20% more productive than prior during work-from-office. Consistently. Over time. In every category.
I dug into that data myself.
Return to office likely has a productivity cost.
But then, as people got settled into remote, we saw the numbers improve.
In fact, better than before. 20% better, IIRC.
People, freed from distractions and unable to leave their homes (funny not funny), had increased productivity. This remained after the lockdowns fwiw 4/n

With… dependencies between classes? How would you not “design your application like that”? Use one big file for all your code? I guess that’s an option, but seems impractical.
