I'm in a company that relies strongly on outsourcing IT, which is strongly reflected in the available personal development plan. In essence, if you follow the plan, after 1 year you're ok at writing specifications for other people to implement. I'm looking for good quality development plans for software engineers that involve both implementation skills and personal leadership skills.

Are there good resources out there? What should I pay attention to?

I'm asked to develop code quality standards for a new open source project. The first pull requests are coming in. The initial codebase is made by an inexperienced developer. The idea is to start enforcing high quality standards to push forward the overall quality of the project. It's written in Python.

Where to begin?

As part of a migration effort for a number of analytics products, I'm trying to decide which products to migrate and which to EOL.

I believe two dimensions are important in predicting the lead time of moving each product:

- product size

- freedom to rethink the functional requirements

Are these dimensions sensible? How would you quantify each metric?

I'm looking for a high quality online community on finance and investing, preferably with a dynamic similar to HN. Which one do you like?
