No, you really can. I can’t code, but I started @Quillette from scratch with a domain name & CMS & no staff. Got to 20K pageviews per day before I even set up a @Patreon How much did I spend to get to that point? $10K.

It's simple really — ☑️ Hire smart, motivated people ☑️ Tell them what needs to be achieved, not what you want them to do ☑️ Provide the tools, support and space they require ☑️ Step forward when they need you to, otherwise stand back ☑️ Be patient ☑️ Watch the magic happen

Took my 4-year-old to the grocery store and she snuck her teddy bear on the checkout belt and when the cashier “scanned” it she checked the price that popped up on the register and in perfect deadpan said “this bear is priceless”

The agile manifesto says: "We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it." NOT "We know the one true way to manage the software lifecycle. We don't actually write software, but we can certify you."


Contemplating refactoring as itself a tool for code-understanding. Refactoring is after-all a process of taking code and changing it and seeing you kept it behaving as expected. Which can be thought of as a process of continually challenging your assumptions about how things work


OH: "I write software. Walls of text are meh jerb."


This a great song (off of a great album) youtube.com/watch?v=d4tlf3…


When I hear "This code shouldn't be changed because of X" that gets translated in my head to "This code needs to be changed much more often, so we can make sure it is easy to change, understand and support when we most need it to be."

I saw a guy building a website today. No React. No Vue. No Ember. He just sat there. Writing HTML. Like a Psychopath.

I saw a guy exploring his data today. No Python. No R. No Stata. He just sat there. Looking at tables of numbers. Like a Psychopath.


My job is weird: I work with a team of people writing large interrelated text files, that interact with hundreds of physical machines, sitting at home, and I have only met one person on my team in person, ever

Engineering is not just a profession. It is a form of thinking. Anyone can benefit from data analysis, problem solving & applied science. You just gotta see between the lines
