Good long-read contrasting what happened to FogBugz, which stuck to its "rewrites are the worst thing ever" ideology, and Basecamp/FreshBooks, which both rewrote and still prosper today. medium.com/@herbcaudill/l…

Not really - we have some guardrails but not currently in a state to share. They cover plenty of stuff but don’t say a lot about limiting production access. Mostly it’s simple stuff - separate AWS accounts, limit root access, script stuff so we can rebuild quickly from mistakes

Company goals and values don't mean shit (and everyone knows it) unless you also
- promote on achievements that are consistent with those values & contribute to those goals
- praise for work that leads to those achievements or exemplifies those contributions twitter.com/AndrewStellman…

I think I need to clarify this a few hundred times more: I am NOT advocating thaf everyone ssh to prod and fuck the environs up willy-nilly. Good lord.
Everyone gets to/has to debug in prod ✨thru the lens of their code instrumentation✨ twitter.com/karouf/status/…

The full access thing. I want all the team to support the things they build and that means the same access an ‘ops’ team would have. But this shouldn’t mean unsafe, uncontrolled. We should build systems with safe guards so it’s hard to screw up because of the access you have 2/2

It would be like not letting the airplane engineer see whether the plane they built flies well! So they can tweak it to fly better. Which means they need to be able to see all the metrics. Like a pit crew in motor racing 1/2

A great post by @mipsytipsy on logging and how the move into distributed systems has changed how we should approach logging. It really should be something you think about at the beginning instead of an afterthought. charity.wtf/2019/02/05/log…

You don't have software ownership if you don't have the ability to watch your code run in production. That would be like...
* not letting a chef taste their food
* making an artist paint blindfolded
* printing the handwritten first draft of a novel with no editing twitter.com/phillijw/statu…

Hei! Take the time to submit your proposal to JS Camp Barcelona! They are doing a lot to support people from underrepresented groups and this is your chance to make a difference in how conferences look like.
If you are hesitant, go to a @gdcfpday on March 2nd! We will help you! twitter.com/jscamp/status/…
