Seems like I had the right hunch. Here's the long version from the real master:

What Game Are We Playing?

Software Design: Tidy First?
Being able to write code and being able to keep writing code are two very different beasts to wrangle with.

My friend is writing her thesis in data science and is looking for engineers to participate in her survey about data quality in ETL pipelines.

If you have data wizards in your extended circle or are one yourself, here's her survey:

Survey

“What’s it like having a view of the ocean every day?”

“Well. Often when the wind hits like 50mph or so it knocks down my Camellia plant and that is pretty annoying. But the white caps are pretty to watch.”

I really appreciated Hillel Wayne's article on hazard controls and "safety engineering": https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/hoc/

The hierarchy is quite clear, and can probably be applied to software development in various areas.

The Hierarchy of Hazard Controls

The other day a mechanical engineer introduced me to the Hierarchy of Controls (HoC), an important concept in workplace safety. 1 (source) To protect people from hazards, system designers should seek to use the most effective controls available. This means elimination over substitution, substitution over engineering controls, etc. Can we use the Hierarchy of Controls in software engineering? Software environments are different than physical environments, but maybe there are some ideas worth extracting.

You are not defined by the work you do, and any long "coding streak" someone says you have should be seen as a helpful signpost that you might be struggling to manage your workload or maybe suffering low self-esteem.

You are great, and the number of commits you made has nothing to do with that.

Danke für die tolle Konferenz #ITTage2024
Wenn ihr euch heute Morgen den Vortrag von @NicoleRauch zu geschmeidig machendem Refactoring angesehen habt, werdet ihr bei "Branch by Abstraction" sicher auch ein paar Dinge wiedererkennen: 15:00 Uhr in Stratus auf Ebene 1 #ittage2024
Guter Vortrag von Felix Fischer auf den #ITTage2024 zu Trunk Based Development. Morgen geht's bei mir um Branch by Abstraction. Das ist eine der Techniken, die Felix angesprochen hat, die Trunk Based ermöglicht, aber genauso eingesetzt werden kann, wenn man mit Branches arbeiten muss. Die Branches werden dann sogar kurzlebiger und das ist ein guter erster Schritt hin zu Trunk Based.
Managed to style my Anki flashcards using CSS and flexbox. Took me way too long, but I feel very frontendy today 🤭. Thanks @denoira !
