Amazon expects a lot out of their engineer managers. They expect them to run projects, mentor employees, design systems, architect platforms, manage operations, communicate with customers, and evolve products. But they don't expect them to code. 🧵

With the newest version of Git 2.37.0, you can run just "git push" to push new branches. No more "--set-upstream origin". Enable with: git config --global --add --bool push.autoSetupRemote true

I think the next 3-5 years of software development will focus on "remocal" dev environments e.g. a hybrid remote-to-local setup 🤔 - Full-local dev doesn't scale with microservices, containers, and K8s etc - Adoption of full-remote with brownfield can be hard Read on 🧵 👇

Our idea is that the on-call engineer should be able to work with alerts without leaving Slack. Ack, resolve, leave resolution notes, build a small war room. Everything in Slack. We use A LOT of Slack API features so Slack setup instruction is a bit tricky, but it is worth it!

Whenever someone asked: “So what Agile method did you use at Uber?” I had to do a long-winded explanation on why we didn’t use these methods that make little sense in places with empowered + competent engineering teams. I now just point them to this: blog.pragmaticengineer.com/project-manage…

Trust me, this is one of a few #DevOps tutorials that walks you thru #ArgoCD then #Flux installations, and lets you use them together. Flux Subsystem for Argo is the project that bridges these two worlds of #GitOps, and make them a safe choice. flux-subsystem-argo.github.io/website/tutori…

Btw, the RFC review process I'm talking about is at engineering.squarespace.com/blog/2019/the-… We're still iterating and we'll always be iterating, but when I wrote that post in 2019 I had no idea that the calendar blocks would be so much of a game changer. Tiny life hacks!
