toolbear#🌶️<p>A nice, lighter fare (though not without depth) video from Fiq about the hip-hop music his heart feels most at home in:</p><p><a href="https://nebula.tv/videos/signifiedbsides-old-head-tier-list" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nebula.tv/videos/signifiedbsid</span><span class="invisible">es-old-head-tier-list</span></a></p><p>A gem of a life lesson towards the end about how "elders" should be talking with and engaging with the young artists from a collaborative, egalitarian stance (not scolding nor lecturing).</p><p>I see parallels with when I was taught to view pair programming (think science lab partners, but writing code) as something where both sides have something valuable to teach the other. It's easy to fall into a junior-senior mindset, especially when work culture reinforces that.</p><p>I see other lessons for aging software developers in Fiq's video. That insight of his transcends discipline I believe. Good guidance if, like me, you aren't ready to be done, but you do feel a compulsion to do at least a little deliberate baton passing to younger generations.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/HipHop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HipHop</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Mentorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mentorship</span></a> versus <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Collaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Collaboration</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/PairProgramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PairProgramming</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Aging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aging</span></a></p>
