It’s that time of the month for another T-SQL Tuesday.
In case you are new to T-SQL Tuesday this is the monthly blog party started by Adam Machanic (b|t) and now hosted by Steve Jones (b|t). It’s a way of encouraging blog posts from the community and helping to share knowledge. This month’s T-SQL Tuesday is hosted by Jess Pomfret (b|t). Jess invites us all to write about your favorite life hack.
My T-SQL contribution for this month discusses imposter syndrome. This month’s T-SQL Tuesday is hosted by Jon Shaulis. Jon invites us all to write about when we have seen, experienced, or overcome imposter syndrome. You can read more about the invite in detail by clicking on the T-SQL Tuesday logo.
I’ve had my fair share of experiences with imposter syndrome in my career.
My first time was when I first went on SQL Cruise, now called Tech Outbound, and I had the privilege to meet people like Aaron Bertrand, Grant Fritchey, Kevin Kline, etc.
I recently read an article about delegation of work and this gave me an idea of the yes/no e-mail and the rubber duck.
This article is about the delegation of work. When you manage a team you could get lots of e-mails from people asking all sorts of questions for you to figure out.
Mostly those questions are along the line of “What do I need to do?” This article describes that situation and how you could handle it in a more efficient way for both you and the employees.
I got involved in a discussion about open-source software. A maintainer of an open-source project handed over the reins to another person and the other person changed the software to include a coin/mining exploit. This got me thinking about the double-edged sword of open source.
A little history lesson about open-source projects. Open-source came to be in 1998 when it was developed after Netscape’s announcement that the software for the Navigator software was going to be publicly released. The term got more momentum during the Freeware Summit organized by Tim O’Reilly in April 1998. The highlight was when the Open Source Summit which is known as the birth of open-source.
There must be 100 articles about this subject but I always like to talk about things that happen to me or where I have an opinion.
I was reading a blog post by Ben Kubicek about allowing failure and I agree with a lot of things.
I’m a parent of two adorable kids. The oldest is 4 years old and the youngest is almost 2. The youngest one is walking around but the oldest will not stop running, climbing on stuff, and seeing how far she can go.
