23 Amazing Lessons Learned From Interviewing The World's Top Developers!Usersnap
Three months ago – on Thursday, April 16th – we launched bugtrackers.io as a new platform showing the life of people in web development.
I expected it to be super fun. And of course I expected it to be successful. After all, we showcased the life of famous, successful or simple extraordinary tech people, like CTOs, developers, web designers or product people.
But I didn’t expect it to have such an impact on me personally.
Today, I’m sharing the top takeaways for me and for us as a company. Yours might be different, which is why I encourage you reading all of the interviews in their entirety.
I hope they’re as valuable for you as they’ve been for us.
We spend more time working than doing anything else in life. Yet for too many people, the experience of work is demotivating and dehumanizing.
I don’t think it has to be this way, and I’m willing to bet you don’t either.
At Google, we’ve learned a ton about what makes for an enjoyable and productive workplace. We’re not alone – lots of other companies, ranging from grocers (e.g., Wegmans) to textile companies (e.g., the Brandix Group) to Brooklyn delis (e.g., Russ & Daughters), as well as academics and scientists, have learned the same simple truth: there are straightforward things we can do to make work better.
My new book, "Work Rules!", is an attempt to bring this together and offer you practical tools to improve work, no matter what you do. Check out this visual preview of the book and visit www.workrules.net if you’d like to pick up a copy or learn more!
The 2X Secret: What Nobody Tells You About Earning More From Your Skills James The Sellout
When building our skills and advancing our careers, we tend to reach for the same skills again and again. But there's a simple way to make your skills more valuable and career more secure. It's a path that people like Elon Musk, Matthew Inman (creator of the Oatmeal), and Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) have all used to amplify their core talent and earn more money. I'll teach it to you and show you how to use this method to advance your career.
Gen Y; Millennials; Echo Boomers; the Trophy Generation; Net Y Not. Google “managing” any of those
terms and you’ll receive hundreds of thousands of hits. The literature positively explodes with deep
insight and pop psychology on how to deal with younger employees—professionals in their mid-20s to
early 30s.How do you recruit, hire,
manage and survive with younger, rising executives who may not speak your language or respect your
values? If the Millennials receive most of their validation from outside of their professional network,
what leverage does the leadership of your organization have to shape raw talent into valuable current
and future leaders?

Startup shocker: Bootstrapping for the non-geekSaul Fleischman
Try what's working wonders for me, and letting me re-invent myself. I am neither programmer nor designer, and after making enough of the wrong moves, please try what works.
Please let me know if you are inspired - and particularly, which slide/message resonatedmost with you. Talk with me in G+ for hands-on help.
Almost everything can be done using refactoring tools:
* How to get buy-in for refactoring? (use Technical Debt quantification tools)
* How to identify refactoring candidates? (use smell detection tools)
* How to prioritize / identify what to refactor first? (use reports from design analysis tools)
* How do I identify dependencies and evaluate impact of refactoring? (use visulization tools)
* How to I actually perform refactoring? (Use IDE support for automated refactoring and use them!)
Deriving from a rich experience in using tools for refactoring in real-world projects, this talk takes you through a whirl-wind tour of refactoring tools (of course for Java). What's more, this talk includes quick demos of some of these tools so you can see them in action.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

1. Great Coding Skills Aren't Enough!
- Ganesh Samarthyam, CodeOps Technologies
I have been fortunate to have worked with some geeks with incredible coding skills. I
felt amazed at how they can play games with compilers, perform magic with their
incantations on the shell, and solve some insanely complex algorithm problems with
ease. I naively assumed that they are going to achieve greatness in near future.
Alas, I was wrong. Really wrong.
I am prompted to write this article when I came to know about one such geek who is
now struggling to find or keep jobs. I remember how I was in awe observing the
same coder early in my career and wanted to emulate his coding skills. One the
other hand, I find many of my so-called "average" school and college classmates
doing really well in life now.
As Calvin Coolidge said: “There is nothing more common than unsuccessful men
with talent”. May be we can take it for granted that “talent != success”. But WHY?
First things first: Talent matters. I would search and employ programmers with best
talent that I can find and afford to pay. However, the world gives undue attention to
raw talent. What young kids achieve is amazing and regularly makes news, for
example, I recently read a news item about a kid who recites the whole Quran!.
Now, what is more important: raw talent is never enough. To illustrate, consider
amazing programmers like Brian Kernighan, Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and Mark
Zuckerberg. Their programming talent is very evident, even from the early days in
their career. But other than the raw talent, there is something more that makes them
special and successful.
• Brian Kernighan is known for his amazing writing skills and is an inspiration for
so many tech writers, including me. Example: Arguably, his excellence in writing,
as in co-authoring the classic The C Programming Language book contributed to
the popularity and wide-spread acceptance of the language.
• Bill Gates is known for his business acumen. For example, Microsoft did not
transfer the copyright of the DOS operating system it sold to IBM and that made
the foundation for the success of Microsoft as a company.
• Linus Torvalds brought together an open source community together. Linux is a
success not just because of his coding acumen, but mainly due to the community
he built around it.
• Mark Zuckerberg called himself a hacker but he is certainly more than that. The
way he experimented with his ideas in the real-world, the way he built FaceBook
and led to business success and his philanthropy shows he is not just yet another
ace programmer.
In fact, the idea doesn't just apply to great coders, it can be generalized to
technologists in general.
2. Take Andy Grove, for example. He was technically brilliant, but what took him
(and Intel) to great heights was his management approach and strategic
thinking. His books "High Output Management" and "Only the Paranoid
Survive" document his management style and approach that made him
successful.
Consider his approach towards life and success from his most famous quote (which
is nothing to do with technology): "Success breeds complacency. Complacency
breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive."
I can give more examples, but I think the point is loud and clear: There are so many
people with raw talent, but there is something more that is needed to lead them to
extraordinary success. For example, in addition to incredible coding skills, it could be
writing, speaking/presenting, business acumen, management ability, building
communities, or having a knack for making right moves at the right time.
Now, how can YOU benefit from this understanding and move forward? It does not
matter if you are a person who appear to have no in-born talents or ones who have
evidently special talents, there are many things you can do to grow from "good to
great".
• Become teachable. Most talented people stop learning after sometime and have
bloated egos. This is especially true for those who make it to top institutions (like
the famed IITs, Harvard, or Stanford). Learn from those who are around you and
from the experiences in the real-world.
“Talented people often think they know it all. And it makes it difficult for them
to continually expand their talent.” - John C. Maxwell
• Get versatile. Try different things and experiment. My favourite example is
Robert C. Martin. From writing to speaking, from coding to developing courses,
he is quite versatile and has built his career over a few decades that is worth
emulating.
• Build on your strength - programming. Programming wizardry for the sake of
programming is amusing and interesting but is practically not very useful.
Mediocre programs that solve a problem or meet a customer requirement is far
better than great code that serves no useful purpose. Yes, it is a strength to have
super cool coding skills; but build something useful on top of that foundational
skill.
• Get incredibly good at something (other than your coding skill). My favourite
example is Venkat Subramaniam who has gained fans world over for his
passionate and simply superb technical presentations.
• Get better at working with people. No matter how smart you are, you will
eventually be outsmarted by someone else. Also, one is too small a number for
greatness. No doubt those who win Nobel prizes, Academy awards, or Turing
Awards are incredibly talented folks - but there are always people leading them,
3. with them, or working for them. The people factor in greatness is often not
evident to us so we often naively assume that it does not exist or that it is not
needed for greatness.
Unfortunately, there aren't any excellent books on this topic. But two books stand out
that come to my mind that may be useful:
• Soft skills. This is one of the few books that focuses on the often ignored skills -
so called soft skills - for geeks and nerds.
• Talent is never enough. Maxwell talks about why talent is not enough and
explains why "talent-plus" people are successful. Also provides strategies and
steps for becoming a "talent-plus" person.
Bottom-line: great coding skills alone aren't enough for greatness. So, work on your
greatness from early on – get versatile, build on your strength in programming, get
incredibly good at something other than your coding skill and get better at working
with people. May the force be with you!
