If you are a lead in any capacity your primary job is no longer to be the best coder in the room. Your job is to invest in learning the skills you need to effectively communicate and grow those you lead. Your words have the potential to sit with people for years, act accordingly.
To me, remote work is liberating because it removes the requirement that I "appear" busy.
I can lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling to solve a problem or reset my brain.
I don't have to pretend to be looking at an IDE.
I'm so sick of nonsense like this.
I made a typo and the code didn't work. I knew why, but I'm talking to my readers so that they understand why.
However, that doesn't matter! There are plenty "simple" things I don't know!
This nonsense is so bad for the industry.
It’s pretty damning that most programmers I talk to say they’re bad at tech interviews.
These are people I’ve seen code extensively. They’re incredibly talented!
And yet they have no confidence they could pass a coding exercise.
So who exactly are these designed for?
I really don't care if you think CSS and HTML are programming languages.
I care if you discount the people who are skilled in them as being less competent/intelligent than you.
