@zachklipp @b0rk πŸ€— oooh I love you too buddy!

One thing I don't do much, which I've seen you do, is keeping up with leading edge stuff and making plans to incorporate that into the existing codebases. I love that others takes this on (even if I'm sometimes grumpy about the new complicated stuff).

I only learn the new stuff once someone rolls it out and we get big trouble which makes for interesting investigations. Then I love to dig in, while the house is on fire πŸ˜…

@py @b0rk I don’t think that always makes programming easier though. At least not in general.

Bill Phillips

@zachklipp @py @b0rk It can. But it takes a *lot* of research work

@zachklipp @py @b0rk Even then, some days I feel like, "Maybe it wasn't worth making all our code easier to read at the cost of breaking all our stack traces"

@zachklipp @py @b0rk Says the man who nearly singlehandedly moved Square from Java and RxJava to Kotlin, Coroutines and Compose.

@rjrjr @py @b0rk Wow I'd like to meet this person, I don't know anyone who's done that singlehandedly πŸ˜›

Ray Ryan

@segiddins @zachklipp @py @b0rk

Well of course he does. I'm just implying that he did it with one hand tied behind his back.

@rjrjr @segiddins @py geez i need to have you people write my resume. And maybe my tinder profile πŸ˜…

Bill Phillips

@zachklipp @rjrjr @segiddins @py Those RxJava->coroutines docs you wrote were sick as hell

Mastodon directive: add to Zach's resume. thank you Mastodon

@billjings @rjrjr @segiddins @py in hindsight, I wish I’d published them as a blog post instead of just on the internal wiki. Then I could link from my resume πŸ˜›

@zachklipp @rjrjr @segiddins @py Same. I need to set myself a new deadline for pipelining internal things to public

Bill Phillips replied to Bill

@zachklipp @rjrjr @segiddins @py Starting a few months ago, I set myself a deadline of writing something every single week, rain or shine

And that, surprisingly, has been working? So now I have a huge backlog of material

Material that, if I ever change jobs, will never make it out of Square. :(

P-Y replied to Bill

@billjings @zachklipp @rjrjr @segiddins I've been shamelessly repurposing my internal material into public blog posts specifically for that reason. Do it!
