Today we have a good article on becoming an engineering manager from TechCrunch. Liz Keogh wrote an interesting post on using scenarios for experiment design. For some reason we had to open source releases of code search and analysis tools, Kythe from Google and Hound from Etsy on the Code as Craft blog.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
