Software engineers at every level, in every workplace, have fears. But we don’t often talk about them. I’m asking devs at #ChromeDevSummit 2019 in San Francisco to open up, and reveal their secret fears. What is yours?👇 “Giving and receiving feedback while maintaining and preserving personal relationships. The closer you are to people, the harder it is to feel comfortable doing it." - @kng

Today we're launching the new Twitter.com! So many inspiring people worked on this 2-year project, and we learned so much. I want to share our learnings with the world, so I asked my teammates: What's the most valuable thing you learned while building the new site? 👇 "It's fascinating remaking Twitter from scratch. There's so many different features or tools, and so many little details that go into each of those! It was fun to get to ask "why" a million times and learn the history and quirks behind everything on the site." - @CharlieCroom

You go back in time and give yourself one piece of advice about engineering. What is it?🤔 I’m putting this question to @Twitter engineers from around the world who are in San Francisco for #oneteam this week. Here’s what they have to say👇 “Take advantage of learning everything that comes your way because eventually it all connects. Even things that might seem left field like laser beams - we use lasers to make servers talk to each other - it all ends up being applicable.“- @lhi, mission critical engineering, SF
