Another blog I need to write up soon: "Why every engineer should do a stint in consulting."
• Enforces clear communication, esp. in docs
• Builds empathy for user needs
• Reveals the business impact of code
• Improves "mean time to competence" on new skills

2020 stole more from us than I realized. Keep that rig together. Make it out to California someday and I'll be there!
And yes, absolutely screw the algorithms.
Q: How do senior devs remember all those pesky functions, methods, and types?

I have been DIGGING @TheBlueStones the last few months. Live on Display was JUST AWESOME! Just found out their newest stuff is being produced by @paulmeany and...of COURSE it is.
Paul, just keep putting incredible tunes in my ears no matter who's playing it :)
