Anyone have a take on which ecosystem does package management the best?

Elon should have done what Mark did. Create a parent org called X and put Twitter into it. Twitter is a great brand, I hope they revert it.

Recover. However you can. It only gets worse if you don’t take action. If you can, quit and find a distraction unrelated to your career. Sometimes it takes years for people to boun…

This is the answer. Even now, agency is a nebulous thing, just like intelligence. My theory is that, years from now, we’ll look back and laugh at how far away we are from AGI. I re…

Love this article. 1. Developing beliefs and acting on them is a key part of leadership. 2. Without it, you limit career advancement. 3. It's a skill that can be learned.

It applies to anyone in a leadership position. Staff/principle engineers fit that role. Though you're right, the parent comment suggests they're not in leadership.
