Engineering Manager. All tweets are my own opinions, unless they're someone else's. Also on Hachyderm. I have absolutely nothing to do with Roblox.

@daisyui_ If I purchase the Figma library before the V5 release and components are changed, will I need to repurchase the library for the V5 release?

A very Happy New Year to everyone! I rarely make New Year’s resolutions, but I am tempted to experiment this year to see what would help me keep up with new projects and habits 🤔

@CHATHMuseum To clarify, I've never played for Charlton Athletic, much to the relief of all their fans I'm sure.

Google Calendar's "speedy meetings" feature is fantastic, letting you default to 25 or 50-minute meetings instead of 30 or 60. If I found a Mac app that had the same feature I'd be delighted, but it seems to be missing from most.

Apparently Twitter/X is selling inactive handles for $50,000. Tempted to try and sell my handle for $49,000. It comes with 260 followers and an army of people who think I have something to do with Roblox

With apologies to @brendanhunting. Coach Beard was an absolute must for Halloween celebrations this year.

The vast majority of notifications I get are people thinking I'm someone else, so for the avoidance of doubt, I don't have anything to do with Roblox.

@capdesk I’m getting email reminders from you quite literally every 5 minutes. Is something going on with your notifications system?

@matthewtrask I’m so sorry to hear this. Panic attacks are awful and even though they pass, the late night ones can feel incredibly lonely. Hope it passes quickly and you’re able to take some time to rest and recover

Getting my tweet referenced by @kermodeandmayo might be the peak of my time on Twitter.

My template for sharing knowledge across a team is now live on the Notion Template Gallery: It's a helpful layout we used at Sainsbury's for working out how your team can teach each other different skills.

I've also built a free @NotionHQ template you can use to figure out who on your team can teach what. You can grab the template here:

Conversely, the hiring climate is also tricky for job seekers with more companies tightening their belts. If you are looking for an EM though, I'm actively looking myself so let me know! I can also recommend several excellent EMs I've previously worked with who are also looking.

🔍 Finding a good engineering manager in the current hiring climate is no easy feat. In this article, Joe Fay expands on the current market and things to consider in your search.

Obviously @reactjs has largely won, and @vite_js seems like a good bet for starting. There's then a question of whether to use Redux, and whether to use something like @nextjs or a similar framework. For someone starting, what would you recommend?
