As I mentioned, I've been experimenting with writing on Medium instead of my personal space for the second half of January. Here are some pieces you might have missed:
Where I want to work: what are the characteristics of a healthy workplace? Which values matter?
Do no harm: what does it mean to work with the goal of not making the world worse? Is it enough to simply say that you want to do no harm?
How to startup like a bro: "Get a Patagonia vest and make sure you’ve got a couple of pairs of AirPods. When one pair runs out of battery, mid-conversation maybe, just swap them out with the next one. It pays to be prepared." Satire's a dead horse, but I'm flogging it anyway.
Here's what I earned from my tech career: a history of what I've earned from my career in technology.
The whole-employee professional development plan: I open sourced the professional development plan I use with my team. Here's a guide to using it.
And more personally:
Ma: how working remotely in the pandemic allowed me to care for my mother.
Pulmonary fibrosis and me: the story of how I learned I probably wasn't terminally ill.
