being comfortable with opening up and reading the source code of a library or tool in order to understand how something works is truly a game changer. i can't tell you how many times reading the source code has helped me when the documentation was lacking or outdated!

are there any female-identifying engineering leaders who have tried both the manager and IC tracks who'd be willing to talk me about how and why they chose the path that they did? i'd love to hear about the pros + cons of each path and how you knew which one was right for you :)

If you learned SQL in 1992, all that knowledge would still apply today. Does that apply to *anything* else in our stacks? Python was (barely) 1.0, Linux went 1.0 in '94. Ruby, Javascript, Java in '95. SQL knowledge is durable af. SQL is still *the* API for data. Learn SQL.

Is there a native German speaker here who can confirm this translation is correct? github.com/radar/humanize/pu…. My rudimentary German says it is, but I'd love a 2nd opinion.
