I always watch tech conferences (like springOne) online on YouTube, since I can’t attend them… I hope one day I can attend one. What do you thing about them? What’s your fav one?

Could be any sub part: db, architecture, scaling anything. Any expertise level as well: introductory to all the way advance. Enjoying a lot of good videos on YouTube from conferences, would love other recommendations. Thanks all.

coaches, agilists, scrum masters, change agents or whatever they call themselves. I'm sick of every morning being asked "what are your blockers?", "are you sure you have no blockers?", "what jira did you work on yesterday?" by a random dude that has zero tech background nor any touch with reality. ...Read more
Suppose you know who the hiring manager is and you watch all his youtube videos of him giving talks at CS conferences. Wouldn’t it be creepy to quote him when answering a question from him? “Why use model X for predictive analytics?” “Well, as you stated in your talk at NeuroIPS in 2019, the reas...Read more
Blinders, recently saw a post that someone from Amazon got an offer to be a board member of a startup and asking if it’s possible while working full time.

I am looking for improving my understanding and thought process for system design.

Finding a way to combine development, sales and marketing into one role was no easy feat. But they did it. Behold the Developer Advocate. The role in which you become a human ad for a company in exchange for a social media following. Salespeople couldn't sell to devs so instead they got devs to sel...Read more
