25 years ago today, Bad_CRC posted the primordial meme video "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" on Newgrounds.

In honor of this important anniversary, I downloaded the original Flash SWF file from Internet Archive, played it using Ruffle in a full-screen window, and replaced the audio with the original MP3 of "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by The Laziest Men on Mars. So this is probably the highest fidelity encoding possible, without going back to the original forum GIFs.

Took a few minutes between meetings to upgrade my #htmx #aspnetcore sample demo of “12 days of HTMX-mas". If you're a #dotnet developer or someone interested in web development, it's a breezy way to learn some of the basics of htmx.

Also fixed one of the demos to work in Firefox and Chrome (#CSS!).

If you want to be a 10x engineer:
- Share your ideas freely with little concern for credit
- Default to openness
- Hear another team member all the way out, especially when you disagree
- Fail together, not alone—no one learns if you keep it secret
- Message where you're going as much as current location

The 10x engineer lifts up their team to get 10x things done.

Leaders need to communicate 3 fundamental things:

Performance — how we're doing
Goals — what we're working toward
Meaning —why we're doing it

And they need to be comfortable repeating themselves. A lot.

Most EMs see 1:1s as time to follow up on tasks or give improvement feedback.

"The whole purpose of the 1:1 should be to make the other person feel valuable and connected." — Sarah Drasner

It's deliberately set aside time for the relationship itself. For reports to be seen, heard, and noticed.

Because they always were important.
