  • my kid used to deny my own personal opinions, it almost always pissed me off at first. I felt like I was giving so much and I didn’t want to give up my opinions too, simple things like me saying that I like something could provoke him to argue that I don’t. My spouse helped a lot, we made it into a family joke like he’s a little dictator, maybe he picked up on the laughing and learned that it was inappropriate behavior.














  • a dev can build a thing, an engineer can build a distributed modular thing with more complexity around non programming parts like infrastructure. Take the thing and design a machine of parts and each can be maintained, observed, and optimized as needed. For example we can use topics for backpressure and consumer lag for auto scaling pods, but then you have to consider the distributed processing for duplication, out of order, throughput… there is no exact line in the sand between dev and engineer but that’s how I think of it.
