If you've ever written more than a few lines of bash and haven't heard of bats you should check it out and start testing your crazy bash scripts.

Adding in this mocking lib also makes it easier to use:

Yo San Francisco friends! Iโm going to be out your way this week with @TheEmpathyLab and want to chat with you about building communities and strengthening our empathy muscle. Help me meet some compassionate people and companies. #buildempathy
In some ways, to do well, high-level individual contributors need better people skills than managers. We donโt have access to all the carrots (or sticks) that they do.
Earlier in my career, I thought it was the managers who needed people skills, but as a high-level individual contributor, you are expected to lead projects that cross the org chart...while having no official authority over anyone.
Every few weeks I get an email asking about old @asm projects I worked on. We did a lot of things wrong, but I still haven't found another community like the one we had -- a group of talented, kind people with totally different backgrounds building products together. Miss it.
