Could you drop a few specific posts here that you think are good for someone (me) who hasn't read her stuff before? Looks like there's a decade of stuff on her blog and I'm not sure I want to start at the very beginning...

A few of my favourites:

- Software Sprawl, The Golden Path, and Scaling Teams With Agency: https://charity.wtf/2018/12/02/software-sprawl-the-golden-pa... - introduces the idea of the "golden path", where you tell engineers at your company that if they use the approved stack of e.g. PostgreSQL + Django + Redis then the ops team will support that for them, but if they want to go off path and use something like MongoDB they can do that but they'll be on the hook for ops themselves.

- Generative AI is not going to build your engineering team for you: https://stackoverflow.blog/2024/12/31/generative-ai-is-not-g... - why generative AI doesn't mean you should stop hiring junior programmers.

- I test in prod: https://increment.com/testing/i-test-in-production/ - on how modern distributed systems WILL have errors that only show up in production, hence why you need to have great instrumentation in place. "No pull request should ever be accepted unless the engineer can answer the question, “How will I know if this breaks?”"

- Advice for Engineering Managers Who Want to Climb the Ladder: https://charity.wtf/2022/06/13/advice-for-engineering-manage...

- The Engineer/Manager Pendulum: https://charity.wtf/2017/05/11/the-engineer-manager-pendulum... - I LOVE this one, it's about how it's OK to have a career where you swing back and forth between engineering management and being an "IC".
