Thanks! I updated the post with this info.

SCSI was always skuzzy.

Fake Ryan Gosling sez “HET!” to machine-generated memes.

If I ever have to sit thru another debate over what a monad is, it will be too soon.

Testing replies and edits…

Sadly this doesn’t seem to be working (as of Mon Sept 22 2025, 01:11 AM UTC).

Update (Wed Sept 24 2025 17:17 UTC): It works!

12 year SDE + 12 year TPM vet here.

Do everything you can to help your software engineers (or whoever is doing the work) have as much focus time as they need. Buffer your meetings and questions to one chunk of time per day. Encourage them to block-out and protect their focus time. And encourage the team to keep office hours so they can still make themselves available to others, but in a controlled way.

Be transparent with the business’s goals and frustrations you are facing. There’s an attitude (often among inexperienced devs) that PMs are good for nothing; just an interface to the rest of the business, and a source of where tasks come from. And some certainly are that, but a good PM is worth their weight in gold.

Find a good mentor, and start thinking about your next career step now.

Periodic office hours are tremendously helpful as well.

Block an hour, once or twice a week, for people to come by an ask you (and your team) about literally anything they want. And open it to everyone at your organization. Have your team stop answering one-off questions and tell people to bring it to office hours.

Team leads and tpms should help with logistics, messaging and hand-slapping.

The web version of themoviedb.org has been my go-to for a while now. No app though.

No wonder I can’t find a TPM job anywhere. The senior devs are doing all my work.

Television programming? It’s a stretch, one might say a broad-casting of the term.

.net has a timespan data type specifically for this sort of thing.

I was reading that to the tune of the chorus of The Distance by Cake. It worked until the last line.

“The two hardest problems in programming are cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.”
