Like most of us, Christina Schneider didn't find teaching writing one bit easy at first. Despite her background as a journalist, putting all the puzzle pieces together in the classroom to help her students understand how to build a thesis, introduce and analyze evidence, and express their ideas felt like a pretty tough task. But over time she had one breakthrough after another with her high school students in California. She figured out how to meet them where they are and guide them through the process of building their academic writing skills day by day throughout the school year. Now she steps up to the plate each August with her new students feeling confident that she can take them where they need to go. She's recently written a new book, Building Strong Writers, where she shares everything she's learned in step-by-step walkthroughs to make it easy for you to try too. Today on the pod, we'll be exploring three of her top writing scaffolds, and how you can get started with them tomorrow to make argument writing instruction simpler and more successful in your classroom.

As we near the end of the Building Better Developers season on habits, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche take a moment to reflect on the journey so far. Throughout this season, they have introduced nearly 30 different habits and challenges, each designed to help developers grow both professionally and personally. In this episode, they review key takeaways, discuss the impact of these habits, and explore how to maintain long-term progress in their habit review for developers. The Power of Habit Review for Developers The core message of this season has been clear: habits are crucial for continuous self-improvement. Small, consistent changes add up over time, whether in development, business, or life. However, the sheer number of habits discussed can feel overwhelming. The hosts emphasize that the key is not to implement all of them at once but to focus on a few at a time, gradually integrating them into daily routines. This habit review for developers helps break down which habits have the most significant impact. Revisiting Key Developer Habits 1. Security Awareness for Developers One of the first habits covered in this season was security awareness. Rob reminds listeners of the importance of regular check-ins to ensure their systems remain secure. Whether updating passwords, checking for vulnerabilities, or staying informed about new cybersecurity threats, making security a habit is vital for developers. In this habit review for developers, security remains a top priority. 2. The Pomodoro Technique for Productivity Michael and Rob discuss the effectiveness of the Pomodoro technique, a time management method that involves working in focused sprints. While Rob has successfully integrated this method into his daily workflow, Michael acknowledges that his work schedule doesn't always allow it. This highlights an essential point—different habits work for others, and adjusting or discard those that don't fit individual needs is okay. A habit review for developers shows which techniques offer the best productivity gains. 3. The Importance of Lists and Prioritization Another key takeaway from this season is the value of making lists and prioritizing tasks. Michael shares how keeping a daily list of essential tasks has helped him stay productive and reduce stress. By tackling the most critical tasks early in the day—often referred to as the eat the frog method—he ensures that important work gets done before distractions arise. Developers can benefit from this habit review for developers by refining their prioritization strategies. 4. Automation and Efficiency for Developers The hosts also revisit the topic of automation. They stress that developers should continuously look for ways to streamline repetitive tasks, freeing up time for higher-value work. With the rise of AI and automation tools, improving efficiency is more important than ever. A habit review for developers shows that automation is key to long-term efficiency. 5. Managing Anxiety and Stress in Software Development One of the more personal topics discussed in this season was how to handle anxiety and stress. Michael emphasizes the importance of mindfulness, taking breaks, and using habits like list-making to stay on top of responsibilities. Recognizing stressors and actively working to mitigate them can make a significant difference in both professional and personal well-being. Developers can use this habit review for developers to incorporate stress management into their workflow. Why Habit Review for Developers Matters As the season winds down, the hosts reflect on why habits are critical. They started the season by discussing the importance of habits and want to end with a potent reminder: habits shape who we are. Developing good habits isn't just about becoming a better developer—it's about creating a sustainable, prosperous, and balanced life. This habit review for developers emphasizes long-term growth. Rob and Michael acknowledge that forming new habits isn't always easy. It requires persistence, trial and error, and a willingness to adapt. Some habits that don't work today might be beneficial in the future, and vice versa. That's why revisiting past habits and evaluating their effectiveness is an ongoing process, and a habit review for developers is a great way to assess progress. Next Steps in the Developer Habit Review For listeners who may have found the season overwhelming, the hosts recommend revisiting past episodes and choosing a few habits to implement first. Once those become second nature, it's easier to add more. Progress is incremental, and the journey toward self-improvement is never truly complete. Performing a habit review for developers regularly helps ensure steady improvement. As they look ahead to the next season, Rob and Michael encourage feedback from their audience. They invite listeners to share their experiences, suggest topics, and reflect on their journey toward building better habits. A structured habit review for developers can guide future growth. Final Thoughts on Habit Review for Developers This season has provided many strategies for improving productivity, efficiency, and well-being. Whether using the Pomodoro technique, automating tasks, prioritizing effectively, or managing stress, each habit discussed can bring positive change. The key is consistency—sticking with what works, adapting when necessary, and continuing the journey of self-improvement. A habit review for developers ensures that the proper habits are reinforced.

This week, Matt goes solo to highlight five common construction mistakes made by Texas builders and offers practical solutions to improve building quality.Ductwork in Hot AtticsPlacing ducts in unconditioned attics leads to inefficiency, mold growth, and energy loss. Builders should relocate ducts into conditioned spaces using techniques like closed-cell foam insulation or innovative Rheia duct systems.Cardboard SheathingFlimsy, paper-based sheathing lacks durability and fails to resist air and water infiltration. Durable materials like plywood, OSB, or Huber ZIP-System sheathing offer superior performance and longevity."Houses Need to Breathe" MythAir leaks degrade indoor air quality and cause microbial growth. Builders should create airtight homes with proper ventilation systems, such as ERVs or HRVs, and incorporate dehumidifiers for moisture control.Poor Stucco InstallationImproper stucco systems fail when exposed to irrigation.

Jamie Flinchbaugh, Founder of JFlinch, shares his insights in this solo episode of the People Solve Problems podcast. Jamie emphasizes the importance of being tool-agnostic in problem-solving, focusing on approaches that work both within and beyond specific methodologies. He addresses a common leadership mistake that affects problem-solving culture: leaders often keep their problem-solving process hidden in their heads rather than making it visible to others. He stresses that "you can't be a role model if nobody sees you do it." When leaders don't show their work, team members only see the final decision without understanding the thought process behind it. This can lead others to believe that problem-solving is purely about insight and intuition rather than rigorous analysis and frameworks. Writing things down is crucial for effective problem-solving. The act of writing engages different parts of the brain and can help break through mental blocks. He encourages listeners to start writing down problems they're stuck on, whether on a whiteboard, paper, or digital notes. This practice has proven effective for centuries through journaling, as writing changes how we think about problems. Jamie introduces his "From Stuck to Solved" approach, highlighting that getting stuck while solving problems is not only inevitable but potentially beneficial. These moments of being stuck often lead to breakthroughs and require bringing something new to the table. He shares personal experiences, including his work as an automotive design engineer on the Plymouth Prowler, where perseverance was key to finding solutions. Drawing inspiration from historical figures, he points to Albert Einstein's problem-solving approach, which combined individual work with collaboration. Einstein's perseverance demonstrated that sometimes staying with a problem long enough allows solutions to emerge through sustained effort and hard work. He also discusses the importance of avoiding over-standardization in problem-solving. While organizations should have standard tools, being too rigid can lead to autopilot thinking. He suggests trying different approaches when stuck, comparing it to driving on the opposite side of the road – the discomfort makes you more observant and can lead to new insights.

Season after season, the “Building Better Developers” podcast inspires tech enthusiasts to refine their craft by fostering productive habits. In a recent episode, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche emphasized coding standards—a crucial but often overlooked pillar in software development. Here's a deep dive into their insights on how personal and team-wide coding standards can elevate your development game. Why Coding Standards Matter At its core, coding standards provide consistency and clarity. Whether you're an independent developer or part of a large team, they serve as a guideline for writing clean, maintainable, and professional code. Rob pointed out that following standards is not about adhering to rigid rules but about making life easier—for yourself and your team. Michael added a critical perspective: coding standards often extend beyond aesthetics. In industries like healthcare and finance, compliance with external standards like HIPAA or SOC is mandatory. Similarly, developers working on mobile apps must align with platform-specific requirements, such as those of the Apple App Store, to ensure their software is accepted and functions as intended. Personalizing Coding Standards The hosts encouraged listeners to start with personal coding standards before expanding to team-wide practices. Rob explained that simple habits, such as consistent indentation, intuitive variable naming, and clear function structuring, can dramatically improve readability and maintainability. He also highlighted tools like linters and formatters, which can automate the enforcement of these standards. Michael expanded on this idea, emphasizing the concept of “clean code.” By writing self-documenting code—where functions, variables, and structures clearly convey their purpose—developers can minimize reliance on inline comments. However, he noted the importance of documenting elusive bugs or unique solutions directly in the codebase to prevent future troubleshooting headaches. Leveraging Tools for Consistent Coding Standards The episode underscored the importance of adopting tools like linters, such as SonarLint or integrated features in IDEs like Visual Studio Code. These tools can help enforce standards automatically, reducing the likelihood of human error. The hosts recommended configuring these tools for “format on save,” ensuring consistent styling across a team's codebase. Rob highlighted the productivity benefits of standardization, especially during code reviews and merges. Misaligned formats can create confusion, leading to unnecessary rework. By agreeing on a common setup and sharing IDE configurations, teams can streamline their development process and focus on meaningful changes. The Broader Impact of Standards Beyond the practicalities, coding standards contribute to a sense of professionalism and ownership. Rob likened them to a team's “stamp,” reflecting their identity and ethos. For individual developers, adhering to consistent standards fosters discipline, an essential trait for long-term growth. Michael introduced a compelling argument for balancing internal and external requirements. While personal and team standards are foundational, developers must also be mindful of external constraints, such as compliance and platform guidelines. This dual focus ensures that software not only functions well but also meets legal and industry expectations. Challenges and Takeaways: Refining Your Coding Standards The hosts concluded with a weekly challenge: dedicate 5–10 minutes daily to reviewing and refining your code according to your standards. This practice serves as a litmus test to assess whether you're following your own rules. For teams without established standards, they recommended adopting widely respected guidelines, like Google's or PEP 8 for Python, as a starting point. Bonus tips included leveraging documentation exports and linter configurations to share consistent settings across teams. By doing so, developers can create an environment where everyone writes code that feels cohesive and professional. Final Thoughts Coding standards might not be the flashiest aspect of development, but they are undeniably impactful. By committing to personal and team-wide practices, you can improve not just your code but also your efficiency, collaboration, and career prospects. Whether you're refining your Pomodoro technique or revisiting old projects, take a moment to reflect on your coding habits and how they align with your standards. As Rob and Michael emphasized, “Building Better Developers” is about incremental progress. Coding standards are one small step toward becoming a more disciplined and effective developer. Start today, and see the difference it makes in your workflow and your team's success.

We're living in an era where we're bombarded with information and expert opinions from every direction. As a result, many of us have become overly reliant on external expertise, constantly searching for the 'right' answer about how to eat, move, and live. What I've noticed in my two decades as a medical doctor is that this can actually prevent us from tuning into our own inner expertise and create lasting change.   In this special BONUS podcast episode, I share some powerful insights from a live event that took place in London earlier this year about why knowledge alone isn't enough to create lasting change in our lives and how we can become our own experts.   The truth is, most of us already know what we should be doing to improve our health - we know too much sugar isn't good for us, we know movement is important, and we know we should probably spend less time on our phones. But knowledge isn't enough. What's missing is self-awareness and insight into why we make the choices we do.   In this episode, you'll discover: My simple 3M framework for daily routines, helping you create lasting change even if you only have 5 minutes to spare How to develop your own intuition. Why starting your day mindfully prevents 'micro-stress doses' from accumulating, leading to better mood and healthier choices throughout your day A powerful journaling practice that builds self-awareness, helping you understand your choices and create sustainable change How to maintain transformative routines in a busy household, setting an example that inspires those around you One of the key messages I want you to take away from this episode is that you can change who you are at any time - you're not destined to be the person you were yesterday. Through practices like journaling, you can develop a deeper understanding of yourself, as well as the insight needed to make lasting changes.   And for those who feel they don't have time for elaborate routines - and I know many of us feel this way - I explain why even small actions, done consistently, can be transformative. You don't need perfect conditions to start, and in fact, maintaining these practices even in a busy household can set a powerful example for those around you.   I truly hope you find this episode helpful and that it gives you practical tools you can implement immediately. If you know someone who could benefit from listening, please share it with them, too.

Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche host Episode 7 of Building Better Developers. They explore how to Breaking Things Down for Success. Their discussion centers on maintaining a personal backlog. This practical tool helps streamline both project management and professional growth. Through real examples, they demonstrate how this approach enhances productivity. Breaking Down Projects into Manageable Chunks Rob discusses how breaking things down can make overwhelming tasks more achievable. The hosts suggest starting with identifying core project elements. For developers, they recommend breaking features into backend, frontend, and testing components. Breaking down work helps maintain momentum and creates a systematic approach. This method prevents developers from feeling overwhelmed while ensuring thorough completion. Creating a Personal Backlog for Better Task Management The concept of a “personal backlog” is introduced as a way to stay organized and focused. The backlog serves as a repository for tasks that need to be completed but aren't necessarily urgent. This approach helps ensure that, even if a task isn't immediately tackled, it won't fall through the cracks. Rob suggests regularly updating and consulting this backlog to prioritize tasks effectively. This makes it easier to pull items for daily or weekly to-do lists. Building Daily Lists by Breaking Things Down Another critical aspect discussed is the habit of making daily lists of actionable tasks. Rob and Michael recommend creating focused daily task lists with three to five items. They compare this practice to meal prepping, where planning prevents wasted effort. Breaking down weekly tasks in advance leads to smoother project execution. This approach helps developers maintain focus and avoid getting sidetracked. Proper planning eliminates unnecessary steps and improves overall efficiency. Michael explains how backlogs help manage extended projects effectively. Developers can build focused to-do lists from their backlog items. This method allows for flexible scheduling while maintaining project order. The approach prevents common mistakes like tackling tasks in the wrong sequence. Estimating and Prioritizing Tasks by Breaking Them Down Rob and Michael discuss the importance of estimating task sizes for better time management. Breaking tasks into smaller pieces helps create more accurate time estimates. They recommend mixing small and medium tasks throughout the day. Larger tasks should be saved for periods of uninterrupted focus. Using the Pomodoro Technique for Focused Task Completion The hosts recommend using the Pomodoro technique to manage coding sessions effectively. Work intervals of 25 minutes are followed by short breaks. This method helps developers maintain focus and prevent burnout. Even brief breaks can boost productivity during intense coding work. Integrating Testing by Breaking Down QA Tasks Michael emphasizes testing throughout each project phase instead of leaving it until the end. He recommends adding testing tasks directly into the project backlog. This ensures quality checks become a natural part of development. Regular testing helps verify each phase meets requirements. Weekly Challenge: Breaking Things Down to Build Better Habits Rob challenges listeners to start using backlogs and break down their weekly tasks. Creating manageable daily lists should become a consistent habit. Regular backlog updates help maintain steady progress. This approach prevents burnout while keeping development work efficient and sustainable. Rob and Michael invite listeners to share their task management experiences online. They emphasize starting with small, consistent improvements. These daily steps help developers build better work habits. Good task management leads to increased focus and development success.

If you have followed my newsletter for any length of time then you know that I am a huge advocate for better breathing habits. Breathing is the one lever that you can pull that will improve just about everything you do on the bike, including cardio, strength and even your skills. As important as it is, though, few riders really focus on it as part of their training program. The good news is that it doesn't take a lot of time and you don't need fancy equipment. In fact, a great way to train your breathing is to use a straw. Yes, the same thing you use to drink your favorite beverage when you're out at a restaurant is also a great training tool for your breathing. Just get a straw, have a seat and start to breathe through it. Just 5 minutes of this a few times a week will make an impact on several aspects of your breathing that will help you on the trail. Breathwork training is an important part of MTB cardio training, especially as we get older. The good news is that it doesn't take a lot of time or equipment - 5 minutes of breathing through a straw a few times a week can be enough to make an impact on it.  And if you want to learn even more about breathwork training for MTB, be sure to check out my Guide To Better Breathing For MTB. In it you'll find how to assess your breathing and several drills and strategies to help you optimize your breathing for better health and performance. Until next time… Ride Strong, James Wilson
