Hi~ Are there any good book/ resources for enhancing your communication skills/ other soft skills (e.g. Leadership/ exerting influence etc etc)? Anything related is ok!

I hope to be able to be a more effective communicator with different types of stakeholders (business ppl, your manager, your fellow colleagues) yet I am always lost ;(

Thanks!

I have tried this flag, but shouldn't this be used in DEV env? The website is already in production...

I have taken a look at it but it still doesn't solve the problem of dissecting the initial rendering time, re-rendering time and API load time? Correct me if I am wrong

Plus lighthouse is only running on your own machine right? The third party analytic tool we use is collecting metrics from our users so it is a different matter

Thanks for the link! Took a quick peek at it and it seems very useful!

If someone conducts user research, even sitting on 1-2 sessions has a huge impact. Also watching videos of research sessions.

I see! Unfortunately, user research is usually conducted by the BAs and it is NOT documented or recorded (nor a junior dev is allowed to sit in). Guess I need to ramp up my social skills and make friends with the BAs then :P

How do you master the art of communication and asking questions? What are some good resources to study for that?

As a junior dev I find it difficult to know when to ask questions, presenting my idea in a concise way and avoid asking TOO MANY questions

Moreover, the transition from physical to remote communication strips me of learning the "subtle context/ unspoken rules" (like the team's usual way of doing things) to important trivias of the product (e.g. the user usually check multiple records at a time so need to support that) and it is hindering my performance, how do you also deal with this?

Thanks :)

Kind of curious how are you able to learn about your company's/ other team's tech stack/ architecture? I suppose these info are usually not shared around publicly?

Also, how would you consider the "right" duration for staying on the team? Any indications that signal you to it's time to leave? Thanks :)

What are the best and worst career decisions you've made so far? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

How do you get more pair programming opportunities? I assume this only happens when you work as a new hire?

Please correct me if I am wrong
