Still wrapping my head around the storage.googleapis.com/justine/ape.ht… Actually Portable Executable project. "...we've basically reconfigured the stock compiler on Linux so it outputs binaries that'll run on MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD..." This goes against all that I've learned—amazing.

Loved this article, especially... * "...using your position to expedite work, not block it." * "turning a prolonged technical debate into a recorded decision is a huge win for the company" * "a focus on consistent broadcasting is a quality that sets a Staff Engineer apart"

I wrote an article about the importance of technical planning. It's critical that you create a plan before you dive into coding, no matter your level and no matter the scope of work. Hope these points are helpful, let me know what you think. davidxiang.com/2020/08/10/the…
