Got a new job, suppose I should give notice at this one. Big move from gov't to a startup and Alaska to Seattle. A little nervewracking, but I think it'll be a good growth experience.

I bet I learn something

Good morning!

Traveling with the fam.

I'm back in Seattle, which is always one of my favorite cities to visit. Weather is just like home though. I was hoping for a touch warmer

First day biking into work for bike to work month.

12 miles

Last year, alone, on the road bike it took me ~45 minutes most days.

This year, towing a trailer, on the mountain bike, it took 1 hr 10 min. And let me tell you, I felt every yard where there was even a tiny incline

Still 🤘 🚵

Culture fit is a term I don't particularly like. I think it is often used as a handwavey justification for a no-hire on the basis of "we just don't like-like you"

Still, culture is very important in a workplace. Culture is also something that has to actively cultivated, to guide it in good directions.

I think Joe Mastey has some good thoughts on building a positive culture of learning, whether or not your management supports it.
