Crucial Coachability Lessons In Software Engineering – Interview With Noah Cantor

What’s one sure-fire recipe for disaster when it comes to coaching?

Not being coachable.

This could come from a lack of self-awareness or not being willing to be coached — but if you’re not ready for it, it’s going to feel like friction.

In my conversation with Noah Cantor , we walked through the various considerations that come into play when it comes to getting coaching and mentorship.

Noah’s framing certainly helped me see how you can try to take all the right steps, but the order and reason behind the steps can REALLY make a difference.

Thanks for the chat, Noah!

Destroying Momentum For Innovation – Principal Software Engineering Manager AMA

What’s the most dangerous phrase for engineering teams?

For a long time, I’d jump right in and say it’s:

It’s always been this way.

That’s a statement that without any follow-up can lead to stagnation and stop curiosity right in its tracks.

But there’s one more phrase that I think is even more dangerous:

“It can’t be done. It’s technically infeasible”

Now I’m not saying we should expect to make the impossible possible, but I am saying that this attitude is what destroys momentum in scaling companies.

Let’s talk about it.

As with all livestreams, I’m looking forward to answering YOUR questions! So join me live and ask in the chat, or you can comment now and I can try to get it answered while I stream.

Today we focus on:

  • My newsletter focused on iterating from interviews that didn’t go as planned
  • Jumping into articles/posts from LinkedIn & Reddit
  • Answering YOUR questions

LIVE CODING – Bye Bye, WordPress! Let’s Start Migrating To Blazor!

It’s time! WordPress on AWS LightSail has been non-stop problems for nearly 2 years now.

Time for a change.

I’ll be looking into using LinkDotNet.Blog by Steven Giesel as my blog engine of choice. But migrations are never easy, so this will be the first of many sessions trying to figure out how I can get my blog setup before going live.

Remember — I need to keep as many links active as possible so I don’t ruin my SEO!

Crack the Code: Breadth vs Depth First C# Iteration Explained

Struggling to understand depth vs breadth-first?

Let’s try a hands-on practical example!

I always found the mathematical or computer science version of these things trickier to understand — but when we have some code to walk through for a real scenario, it seems to click better for me.

Join me for this introductory walkthrough of depth vs breadth-first iteration of a file-folder hierarchy.


As always, thanks so much for your support! I hope you enjoyed this issue, and I’ll see you next week.

Hey Nick Cosentino - will try to join for the Livestream again here on LI or YouTube. Just a small teaser: You did use the latest stable tag; if you are willing, you can get the latest master version that includes some more nice features like an automatic Table Of Contents, automatic creation of similar blog posts, and some UI modernization.
