My favourite essays of the past week
I would like to share with you some newsletter essays that I found interesting for myself, hoping they could be helpful for you as well.
It’s Monday, and last week some of my peers in Substack delivered great value to me. I’ll share those with you, in case they might be useful for you too.
I start with
and his essay about How to be a Product Minded Software Engineer. The best part of it for me was the section with the keys to being product-minded-oriented. Something that I already knew, but was good to refresh it.👇🏼
Next, was
and his experience on How to start, grow and monetize your engineering newsletter. Worth reading it if you have a newsletter or you are planning to have it. I took several notes to be applied to mine ☺️👇🏼
One more excellent essay from
with this Why Write Small Diffs. This is something that it’s worth to remember from time to time. It helped me in a real case this week when I was coding something.👇🏼
If you are willing to try new stuff in your team/s, I would encourage you to read the last paper analysis that brought
on his Accelerating Code Reviews With Nudges. Not sure if I will be able to try it, but worth knowing in my opinion.👇🏼
The last one, just because reached my inbox yesterday evening, is The Making of a Senior Engineer 💡: Guest Post by Addy Osmani by
and his guest . Interesting topic on which I worked multiple times, and I do not have a clear “recipe” (WIP) yet. Critical to me is the section where they talk about Influence > Authority.👇🏼
Hope you like this summary and that you could find useful information on those issues.
I would love to get your feedback about whether this kind of “summary of the week” issue is something useful for you and whether you want to have it regularly. Thanks!
As part of that, in 2 days you will get in your inbox my next issue about the usage of Backstage application in your company.
Best,
Marcos.
