My first priority as team lead was to shorten code review times. Here's how it impacted performance of my teammates.

@masudrhossain I imagine that might get a big surprise bills that Vercel is famous for.

@_trish_07 Modular is helpful, but otherwise simple is better IMO.

@ChShersh I've worked mostly on enterprise CRUD. The big performance issues I've seen are not an L1 cache miss, but more like 1000x too many DB queries, which nobody noticed because the code is unreadable. The cache miss seems like a very cheap price for clean code. YMMV

@Austen That looks like more than one story.

@ParikPatelCFA Can't the AI learn it for you?

@paulg To be fair, that guy was apparently encouraged to leave. And it's less a problem for me now. Likely my communication skills improved.

"Tech debt" is a misleading term. It's less like "borrowing money from a bank" and more like "not laying the foundation before building your house".

@MashaZheglova @DanielW_Kiwi I don't think so in my case. At least not yet. Type 2 diabetes does run in my family though.

@DanielW_Kiwi @MashaZheglova That sounds familiar. For some reason, I usually don't notice when I'm thirsty. I only realized this when I saw my wife drinks so much water.

@ParikPatelCFA Crypto bros: "Let's do this. I'll tell you how much I'm worth, and you tell me how much you're worth."

@ThinkAppraiser 4% savings account. Because if you only have 10k saved, it should be liquid and stable. But also 4% is pretty good vs earnings yield / rental yield.

@AaronErickson I could see both scenarios playing out. I do many tasks that could be handled well by such ephemeral software and wouldn't economically support traditional software creation. I also work in enterprise software where battle tested software is usually the way to go.

@GrantSlatton Humans are more versatile than a one-trick pony.

@dilf_farts @Duderichy Sounds plausible.

@eigenrobot Wow. I feel seen!
