Just to show the world is not all going the wrong way, this graph is from the World #Happiness Report 2025 by Oxford University. During the pandemic, acts of kindness went up substantially all across the world - and it's stayed that way. People are still around 10% kinder (they score 10% higher on indicators of pro sociality and helping strangers) than before the pandemic globally. Source: https://worldhappiness.report

Back-to-back meetings are a pain at the best of times, probably more so for software engineers.

Many software engineers come out of meetings feeling disengaged, annoyed and even angry at times...

Imagine the impact of carrying over those feelings straight into your next meeting; it's not likely to go as well. as it could...

Nice article in Rolling Stone about the Fireside Project's Psychedelic Peer Support Line (623-473-7433).

I'm proud to have served on the Fireside Project's Advisory Board since its inception in 2020.

It's tempting to sit in the house coding all weekend…

Get your backside out of that computer chair...

Make the most of your weekend…

At a minimum, make sure you take breaks...

 Take a little walk
Do a short bodyweight workout
Spend 10 minutes doing some mobility work…

It's pretty difficult to undo the damage of constant sitting…

Meditation can benefit your mental wellbeing, so why not try it…?

People often struggle due to unrealistic expectations of clearing their minds entirely...

Try this for one week…

The sole intention is to notice your thoughts…

 Choose a dedicated quiet space for meditation.
 Take 5 minutes each day to focus on your breathing.

Software engineering leaders often think they should know everything…

However:
Expressing gaps in your knowledge...
Asking "stupid" questions...
Getting things wrong...

Will show your team that it's okay to be open and honest and that making mistakes and learning is just part of the job.

Leaders… don’t expect to know everything; that’s not the job…
