Ask HN: Help find old article on learnings of a Software Engineer

4•rhardih•5mo ago
I've been scouring the web for and old article that was posted on HN awhile back.

My problem is I don't remember the title exactly.

It was something to the effect of "What I've learned in 25 years as a software engineer", but the number could be different and it could also just be engineer.

One thing I remember distinctly, is that it had a section about the importance of "how groups makes decisions" - but that is about as far as my memory of the contents goes.

It looked like it was on someone's personal website, minimal styling and such. No major blogging platform.

If this rings a bell for anyone, your help is much appreciated.

Hmm What's 'awhile'? Months? Years?

This one had something recently about teams making decisions: "Don't swoop and poop"

“Your data is the most important part of your system”. I always liked this quote, and yet I am constantly battling people who think we can just truncate a database and rebuild it like the way they CI/CD their code base. Not to mention the legal ramifications of altering a “corporate record”.
