Teammate on most recent team gave me this parting feedback: “I learned a ton, we got lots done, our team dynamics were awesome, and I’ve never felt this kind of team feeling before.”

If your business makes software, I might be good for your business.

    An asteroid born out of wedlock is a basteroid.
    An asteroid with greater than average speed is a fasteroid.
    An asteroid that lacks courage and principle is a dasteroid.
    An asteroid that’s missing its front bit is just a steroid.
    I will be taking no questions at this time.

                  Another from trick:

                  To enable , simply uncomment "greylisting-spp-wrapper" in control/smtpplugins. That’s it.

                  (Add any exempt recipient addresses to control/greylist/exemptrcpts, or entire recipient domains to control/greylist/exemptrcpthosts.)

                    Another neat trick with from :

                    The default SMTP configuration rejects nonexistent recipients.

                    (qmail famously accepts all recipients for its domains even when those recipients don't exist, and then has to queue totally avoidable bounce messages. But you won't.)

                      Want to SMTP-reject SPF failures when the source domain specifies explicit-fail?

                      1. Add SPP_SPF_RESULT_FAIL="E550 spf_smtp_msg" to
                      control/tcprules/smtp
                      2. Run "/etc/rc.d/qmailsmtpd cdb"

                            Your career will outlive every bad decision that someone in upper management will make. Your role is to learn what you can, not just the task or tech, but what to watch out for next time. Help the folk who will get caught up in the next bad decision, because they will help when you get hit.

                            And if you are in the position to make bad decisions, have a failure plan that protects your team. It’s easy to get someone to follow you once.

                            Getting them to follow you the second time makes you a leader.

                                  Most practical experts don’t write a book. Distinct tasks, incentives, skills.

                                  For the same reasons, some published authors are better at describing than at enacting.

                                  Maybe an author really knows, in context, under stress, how to do the thing. Maybe not.

She's a dinky, princess-like red-haired young woman in a light summer dress with a gauze shawl and a parasol/umbrella, all of it white and pink and very cute and girly. The result is stunning and innocent-looking. Spoiler: she's the overarching villain mastermind for the whole trilogy and probably the most evil and twisted character you'll encounter in a while.

Any links in the last bunch of my Fedi posts are links to other of my Fedi posts. My Fedi instance isn't a Mastodon, maybe that's making things harder to find? If you happen to remember more about what it was, happy to dig more to find it.

                                                          @schmonz The only code I'm ever satisfied with (with very rare exceptions) is my own, and that is exactly why I'm not qualified for "technical leadership" and have always avoided climbing the management ladder. I want no other responsibilities than technical ones and that's where I'm at my best.

                                                          Unfortunately, society in general does not value that.

You've chosen a path that suits you and as a direct result I and others are real happy about being in your orbit of influence. (Not even accounting for your own happiness.) The toot was mainly aimed at folks who, by having chosen paths that ill suit them, cause harm to others.

                                                            I appreciate the reminder to consider systemic factors that push people to make such choices. The systemic factors suck. But also people who make any part of others' lives miserable suck.

That's why I insist on the code to be maintained relentlessly (TDD, refactoring and CI above all) and that's what I expect from others. Because currently most of the others act as if the code they write is perfect (the write once mentality and the notion that the code can be "done" which it never is).

Was it a real "maybe", as in, the manager is acknowledging that the recommendations are only a heuristic, and the rest of the feedback was positive or neutral? Or was it a sample of overall negative feedback to the employee? My assessment of the manager would largely depend on that parameter.

                                                                                                        2. The recommendations from the shared network were correct, but the manager either hired the person for a job for which they are unsuited, or the manager is blind to what the employee is actually accomplishing.

                                                                                                        Either way, the statement adds nothing of value if their objective is to improve the performance of the employee or the team, and probably makes things worse. It also dodges responsibility for the hiring decision.

                                                                                                        Based on learning this about someone, I would update my Bayesian about them towards "bad leader".
