Friday Links: Leading, vibe coding cleanup, and performance
26 Sep 2025 #mondaylinksHey there.
Here are 4 links I thought were worth sharing this week:
#1. Being a good tech leader isn’t about knowing all the answers. Here’s how a good leader leads a room full of expert (7min). I loved this piece so much that I wrote a reaction post.
#2. Ten years ago, the junior me wanted to optimize every line of code. Newbie mistake. I wish I had found this guide with 9 things every graduate should know about performance (5min).
#3. Hey this is kind-of a pitch, but the new coding gig is vibe-coding clean up (6min). It doesn’t sound that bad.
#4. Without getting into politics, here’s a breakdown of how it’s like using online services from a “banned” country (6min). Well, from that posts I learned about a HTTP response code.
And in case you missed it, I wrote on my blog about the first step for reinvention when we feel lost (2min) and I reacted to how to lead in a room full of experts (3min).
