Weekly Recap
Here's What Pull Requests Are REALLY Solving For Developers...
A viewer wrote in to ask about pull requests and the perspective sometimes shared on LinkedIn that pull requests aren't useful.
Here are my thoughts on pull requests in your software development workflow!
Should Developers ACTUALLY Pull Code For Pull Requests?
A viewer wrote in to ask about pull requests and whether or not I actually pull code down to run. While this is sometimes a practice at particular organizations, and can be inferred from the name -- a request to pull code down -- I'll share my stance on this.
Contractor Goes FULL TIME - What Level Software Engineer Will They Be?
A web developer contractor is hoping to move into more traditional opportunities where they're hired on full time to an organization. How should they structure their resume, and what level should they be expecting to come in at?
Let's check out their resume in this resume review!
CAN'T LAND A JOB! What Should This New Developer Grad Do?
A viewer wrote in on LinkedIn to ask about my thoughts on landing a job after they've been struggling to do so after graduating. I'll have their resume reviewed anonymously on my main channel, but I wanted to offer up some general guidance in this situation.
Leadership Principles for Software Engineers: Interview With Adrian Stanek
If you think leadership topics only apply to managers and above, think again! In this video interview, I was joined by Adrian Stanek. We got chatting about leadership principles, and they're all applicable to different roles and levels.
I really like how Adrian framed his four pillars. The concepts rang very true for me, and I think there's a lot of value here for software engineers.
Thanks for the chat, Adrian!
Dapper, FusionCache, and Redis - The ULTIMATE CACHE Solution for ASP NET Core
I love working with Dapper. I love working with FusionCache... What better video to put together than a tutorial on integrating these pieces in ASP NET Core?!
In this video, we continue on the series where we swap components to get different implementations in our caching web API.
Engineering Leadership: Reducing Chaos For Development Teams
After a little vacation, this was a topic that was top of mind for me: reducing chaos for the team.
There are always a million things to do and pull to go in to different directions, but as engineering leaders we need to be able to reduce the chaos for our teams.
GitHub Copilot Agent Mode Will Do My Pull Requests?!
This video is my first little experience with GitHub Copilot agent mode with pull request support. Is it going to be ANY better than just the typical lackluster agent experience we get right now?
Let's see if I have to hand-hold the AI or if it's finally going to be helpful!
Are All Software Engineering Teams THIS Dysfunctional?!
Over on the ExperiencedDevs subreddit, a Redditor wanted to know if it's typical that software engineering teams are dysfunctional.
Does this happen everywhere? Is it commonly caused by something?
