Six months overseas, five countries — perhaps this has been my initiation as a man. I’ve been on quite the hero journey.

🚀 Another day, another self-important tech bro sermonizing about "saving the day" with the most cringeworthy hack imaginable. 🙄 Apparently, racking up technical debt is the new hero's journey. Spoiler: if it's labeled "best worst," maybe it's just... bad? 👏

The best worst hack that saved our bacon

No-one really likes engineering war stories, but this one's relevant because there's a moral to it. I've talked before about defining technical debt as technical decisions that provide immediate value, but with long-term negative impact if they aren't cleaned up. Sometimes introducing technical debt is necessary and you do it

🚀💻 Evan Hahn, the software speedster, boldly embarks on a quest to balance the mythical scales of speed and quality. Spoiler alert: he's still on the hero's journey, fumbling through the minefield of bugs and perfectionism. 😅✨

How I build software quickly

Know how good your code needs to be for the task at hand. Start with a rough draft. Try to soften requirements if you can. Don't get distracted. Make small changes. Practice specific skills.

Joseph Campbell called this moment “crossing the threshold.” 🚪
It is the line between safety and transformation.

A sketch inspired by a beautiful metaphor I have recently read in 'The Flowering Wand' by Sophie Strand:

"Sometimes we need to cut down the tree of a monomythic idea in order to get to the more generative root belowground..."

Dr. Matteo Farinella on Instagram: "A sketch inspired by a beautiful metaphor I have recently read in 'The Flowering Wand' by @cosmogyny: "Sometimes we need to cut down the tree of a monomythic idea in order to get to the more generative root belowground that will spring into a polyphony of trunks aboveground. I’m not saying we need to throw out the hero’s journey. But we do need a biodiversity of stories. We need multiple sprouts from one trunk. We need stories that don’t center around human beings. And we need stories that do center around human beings. This is an invitation to cut back our idea of a linear progress and battle. To soften into the yellow sap of our stem for a moment. And then to be talking and singing and sprouting into as many stories as there are spores on the wind, bacteria in our gut, unsung loves in the forgotten corner of our feral hearts." #myth #storytelling #metaphor #herojourney #nature #sketch"
