One of my favorite bits in @missingreadme . If you ever get to visit, the amphitheater in Arles is incredible. P.S. buy the book for your early career SWE friends! :-D

Get the trilogy: The Missing README by @squarecog and @criccomini , followed by The Software Engineer's Guidebook by @GergelyOrosz , and on to Staff Engineer's Path by @whereistanya .
If y'all are lookin for a good gift this holiday season, might I recommend The Missing README? amazon.com/Missing-README-Guโ€ฆ @squarecog and I jammed it full of practical lessons for engineers. Plus, it's got fun autobiographical stories like this one...

๐Ÿ’ฏ @squarecog and I cover this in @missingreadme.
A software (libraries as well as apps) design tip: validate configuration as early as you can. Validation (and failing) at build time > validation at start-up > validation at runtime. The earlier any invalid config is flagged, the faster the feedback cycle for your users.
