- Tip: Don’t assume Docker is a magic bullet. If you package a badly designed application in a Docker container, it will still cause issues for everybody that runs it. Mmmmmm https://sprkl.dev/18-quick-tips-to-improve-developer-productivity/ 11 comments docker
- I couldn't agree more: a single engineering team doesn't need a team lead, a PM, an engineering manager, a technical program manager, a scrum master, and a product owner. After a while, it can look like those photos of 6 construction workers standing around waiting for the guy with the shovel! https://sprkl.dev/37-tips-for-improving-productivity-in-software-development-teams/ 11 comments datascience

- A major difference between Amazon from other orgs I worked at is that Amazon likes writing docs. People write documents for everything. Every design decision & meeting has an engineer write a doc. We spend 15 mins in a meeting discussing the doc & making decisions. Holy, I'd probably kill myself https://sprkl.dev/how-to-improve-developer-productivity-tips-and-tools-series/ 13 comments sre
- I’ve been fixing bugs for 6 months now, and I don’t know how much longer I can just keep fixing bugs. I asked if new projects are coming in and have asked about carving out time to create the test suite. My manager told me that we need to improve the quality of the code and that means fixing bugs. https://sprkl.dev/ 2 comments programming
- Do you also feel that once that application goes into production, you’re working blind? https://sprkl.dev/working-blind-the-importance-of-developer-observability/ 9 comments sre
- I see these consultants offering “Kubernetes for startups” packages, which is wrong! If you don't routinely need to spin up and configure new containers, you don’t need Kubernetes. That pool of Terraform step functions could probably have been built more quickly & easily as a plain old API https://sprkl.dev/37-tips-for-improving-productivity-in-software-development-teams/ 59 comments devops
