Meditation can benefit your mental wellbeing, so why not try it…?
People often struggle due to unrealistic expectations of clearing their minds entirely...
Try this for one week…
The sole intention is to notice your thoughts…
Choose a dedicated quiet space for meditation. Take 5 minutes each day to focus on your breathing.

Any good introductory texts/media/books on deployments, dependency management, delivery etc? Preferably Python with hands-on exercises, but in general or for multi-language code bases would also be nice. Little tooling requirements is a plus.

I work as a software developer for a manufacturing company. Building software for all departments.
It's a pain because one minute I'm working on stock control then the next I'll be in a meeting about our quality inspection software, on the way back from the meeting I'll be asked about HR stuff or something to fix for the commercial team 
Just a lot to remember.
I need a good way of recording all of it. Jira is fine for chucking a request on but then I come to it in 2 weeks and wonder what it's even about 
Software engineering leaders often think they should know everything…
However:
Expressing gaps in your knowledge... Asking "stupid" questions... Getting things wrong...
Will show your team that it's okay to be open and honest and that making mistakes and learning is just part of the job.
Leaders… don’t expect to know everything; that’s not the job…

AI Code Assistants: A Double-Edged Sword?
AI-powered coding tools are revolutionizing development workflows, but they come with hidden dangers:
Hallucinated Dependencies: AI suggests packages that don’t exist. Slopsquatting Attacks: Malicious actors register these fake packages, leading to potential security breaches. Automated Installation Risks: Some AI agents might auto-install these without developer awareness. False Legitimacy: AI-generated summaries can falsely validate these malicious packages.
Stay Vigilant: Always double-check AI-generated code and dependencies. Trust, but verify.

Behold, the Zod 4 beta: the latest and greatest in the ancient art of making JSON schema #validation sound like the discovery of fire.

One of the most productive things I can do for my team as a developer and leader is to adapt to THEM rather than force them to adapt to ME…
Ah, the eternal quest to create yet another "indispensable" dev tool that no one needed in the first place. Because who doesn't love reinventing the wheel with extra #bugs and zero users?

The pressures on tech workers to "democratize disciplines" and "become generalists" has enabled the rise template ronin - grifters peddling simple, quick, and cheap "solutions" that don't actually fix anything.
Together with their loyal AI squires, template ronin leave a trail of destruction for the rest of us to clean up.
In my latest issue, I go over how to fight back.

RIP #NoCode : After ten years of hyped-up promises, "No code" couldn't even outdo a calculator app. Enter "Vibe Coding," the new kid on the block with AI-powered magic that supposedly turns your vague coffee-fueled mumblings into production-grade software. Let's just hope it doesn't vibe check you into another decade-long #disappointment.

How not to impress when you have time pressures and tight deadlines…
Work long hours… Skip your lunch… Stop taking breaks…
This sets an expectation that is difficult to change and sends you spiralling towards burnout...
Show yourself some respect:
Eat well Exercise Sleep well Take breaks…
This shows self-awareness and discipline.
