Having a strong network makes for a huge advantage for career opportunities and learning how to lead. We discuss how to push past shyness and introverted tendencies to grow your own network of relationships.
With hacking, data security, and privacy as huge issues in the press, the CTO Think crew discusses how we approach identity management on both products and across our teams.
Where do you draw the line on ethics? How do you take a stand when you want to keep your job? This week, we discuss ethical behavior and the responsibility people have regarding it.
Should you sign non-compete or non-disclosure agreements? We discuss everything from saying "heck, no" to turning them into an initial business agreement test.
In this week's episode, Don and I discuss our history with in-office and remote work, why junior devs might reconsider working outside the office, and how requiring folks to work in your proximity is a trait of managerial vanity.
In the 12th episode of the CTO Think podcast, we found ourselves stranded, mid-ride on the Expedition Everest roller coaster at Disney World's Animal Kingdom. Following our rescue, and during an in-person recording from Orlando, we talk about how a tech manager should handle technical downtime, service interruptions, and critical alerts for users, executives, and investors that depend on services.
I agree a lot with this post, but there's one key aspect of the framework that ends the usage for me: The HTML written as functions aspect.
Sure, I can easily figure out the brain mapping between native HTML markup and the Elm HTML function syntax, but the majority of front-end developers (CSS and markup-focused folks) will stop dead in their tracks looking at The Elm Way.
I rarely work solo on projects anymore, and tend to have someone else handle the CSS and markup pieces to save time. Using Elm blocks the majority of folks I can now work with.
So, "making developers happy" with Elm rings true for "full stack" people, but I think the happy part ends for anyone that doesn't want to learn a new HTML syntax for no good reason (from their perspective).
