Back when I was an engineering manager I had reason to read and recommend to all my team members "The Mediocre Programmer" by Craig Maloney.

We lost Craig's presence at the beginning of this week, but Craig was a special cat - one who left behind wisdom and knowledge rather than hoarding it as some special sauce. All too rare in this day and age.

So, if you're interested in the art and craft of computer programming, do yourself a favor and get a copy of "The Mediocre Programmer". Read it. Take it to heart. I'd much rather work with other mediocre programmers than ever again subject myself to working with 10x software engineers.

Miss you, Craig. Thanks for all the thoughtful advice you've offered over the years. ❤️
