    Last week I sat for an internal interview about my career progression to high level IC engineer, with a focus on how I've never felt I needed to become a manager to gain influence. I thought I would share some of my career advice for aspiring IC "lifers." Thread!

    Debugging is an engineering superpower. Lots of folks can write code, relatively few can efficiently debug programs and systems. Become good at it and you become indispensable.

    You know what? Everything worked before we switched to Kubernetes. Don't @ me.

    Lot of armchair quarterbacking about the AWS/Cloudflare outages. I never comment on outages because, frankly, "the internet" is a Rube Goldberg machine, built on buckets of tears and non-obvious (and often non-technical) constraints. It's a miracle it works 1% as well as it does.

    Daughter++. Born last night at home, 5 days overdue, she clearly was waiting for the new administration before coming out. I don't blame her! All are happy and healthy. 👶

    It is hard for me to imagine a greater waste of human engineering potential than the worldwide migration from Python 2 -> Python 3. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

    The perception in our industry that you need to "love what you do," "focus on your side projects," "nerd out," and generally "hustle," drives me batty. It is 100% fine to be here purely for the 💰. 🧵

    Let me tell you about the time that I (indirectly) logged out about 40M Android users from @twitter with a single character bug. They couldn't log back on for several hours, and the follow on impact on logged in users was ... not great.
