The best starting point for you as a #software engineer to advance your #career is by asking yourself this.

Do you create drag or lift within your team?

#thread 🧵
Drag and lift are terms that come from aerospace that apply perfectly to #development teams.

Let’s look at how they are used:
Drag is when you cause friction and slow down processes. One example of drag is showing up to a meeting 5 minutes late and having to have the product owner restart the presentation.
On the other hand, lift is when you help raise up the team. This could be through skills training, engaging with other parts of the business, and preparing for discussion.
If you want to become a #technicalLeader or get a promotion, ask yourself, “Am I causing drag, or am I lifting up my team?”

Let's talk about distractions at work. If you are a #softwareEngineer, you run into this DAILY.

A thread🧵
First off, some distractions are inevitable, but most are not. You need to identify what is the most important use of your time.

So, let's talk about what #distractions are out there:
1. Social Media.

This isn't a surprise. We all know the goal of social media is to consume our time. But, the biggest issue for people writing #code is that we have to context switch all the time.
