How To Give Not-Toxic Constructive Criticism | The Startup
Give criticism without hurting people's feelings while opening the relationship for constructive collaboration.
He was taught criticism had to tick two simple boxes. It had to be constructive, and it had to be criticism of an action or thing instead of a person.
But no one ever bothered to teach us how to criticize constructively— without making humans miserable. At least nobody ever taught me the secret.
What I didn’t get at the time was that my advice was not nearly as valuable to the receivers as I estimated in my mind.
My advice was totally unsolicited.
Radical Candor by Kim Scott — a book every “boss” should read.

A Complete Guide to Building a Blog with Eleventy
Let's begin by first describing exactly what we're building. I think most developers have a good idea of what a blog is, but every blog is different. For this guide, I will support the following features:
- A home page that displays the last ten blog articles, newest on top. For each blog post, we display the title, date published, and an excerpt of the post.
- A page that displays the blog post. This will have the title, published date, a list of categories assigned to the post, and the contents of the post itself.
- Every blog post will have one or more categories assigned to it. Each category will have its own index page with a list of blog posts assigned to it. Each item in the list will have the title and date of the post, nothing more.
- An author page, basically, who is doing the writing?
- An archives page that lists every single blog post. This will use Eleventy's pagination system.
- A set of category archive pages. The same idea as the main archives page, but unique per category.
- A RSS feed.
