As much as seeing "microsoft" as the owner feels like .. treachery .. what they've written, there, looks brilliant in what they're doing..

Please go read that stuff..

Is https://huly.io/ any good?

https://elest.io/open-source/huly offers managed-hosting, but their "if you want REAL support, that is $50/mo extra subscription" thing is something to consider..

There's got to be something that they're offering, there ( I'm probably going to be using hosted-Lemmy for my publishing-platform, soon, so these questions are oblique to mine )

So, this "senior developer" is .. braindead & still allowed to be working, then?

I think that many a time people begin a project coding in a far-far-far too-low level programming-language: they're solving the wrong problem!

Build your prototype in a high level language, get the model/architecture correct .. and THEN begin replacing the slow bits with faster languages..

To me that seems right.

Haskell to begin-with, & when it solves ALL of the problem, correctly .. THEN you begin converting stuff to Crab-lang/Rust..

When you're still bashing 'round, trying to discover the form of the underlying problems in your problem .. that's the wrong time to be doing low-level stuff, to my eyes..

Thank you for posting that.

That's what I used, back when I still had MS-Windows installed...

feels good to say "it's been years", tho...

2. POSITIVE feedback...

I've read that empirically, most need about minimum 7x as much positive-feedback as criticism, or the criticism begins corroding motivation.

3. Passion to teach or help younger members learn

yeah, that's got a high payback value, strategically...

10. Do not micromanage

yeah, that's true for nearly-all...

I skipped a bunch just because I found the whole thing

• simultaneously right, given the reality of what passes for "managing", in the non-Kaizen world, &
• managers should be striving for relentless-improvement/evolution, all the time, ie Kaizen, personally, their teams, etc, Just Because(tm), so .. obviously .. other people think otherwise?? ( ie it isn't normal to presume relentless-evolution as someone's drive? )

From the stuff I've read, re subject-to-managers, I think the points in the article are valid.

The best stuff on pushing oneself, & managing, however, is significantly different from that article.

Consider the book "The Ethical Executive", on ethics-traps...

Who considers that book prerequisite to professional work?

I do, but does anybody else?

< crickets >

IF you don't know what the traps are,

THEN how can you prevent yourself being caught in 'em??

etc...

So, it seems, to me, an article that many would benefit from,

but the bar should be set much, much higher, for ..

.. ah, of course, the striving-addiction isn't normal, it is just a subset, possibly a small subset, of human population...

Appreciate the link, mac@programming.dev
