This is my website :) Happy to answer any questions and looking for feedback on how to make it better!

On a purely aesthetic note, the design is quite nice.

Thank you!

Looks pretty useful.

How do you chose content? Do you manually identify high quality resources and then just scrape and ai summarize all the content they post? Or is it more granular?

I seeded it with a few hundred items that I collated over the years. Then others added content

You can add via a URL and it attempts an AI summary of the website, or you can write your own.

Thank you.

Impressive, but not helpful for me.

For a library, I expected something like a card index, with an ontology reflecting the kinds of things users want. Instead, the tags (except for 2) reflect the media type. The index (however implemented) should both afford navigation and provide an overview of coverage. (Ideally I could select 2+ tags and get their intersection, especially for orthogonal features like media and topic.) It seems like the ontology could itself be a community-developed list, with discussions/issues for managing it and tagging items.

wrt name, unlike other commenters I actually really like the play on "stdlib". If indeed it were standardized (and federated?), a community library for technical guidance would be a great professional practice for us all. We need something more structured than personal blogs and less political than standards bodies or open-source umbrellas.

(I personally would ditch the "leadership" spin, both because IC's can lead technically (and have to, effectively), and because it has that career-promoting smell (hucksters pushing legions to sell shovels to a vanishingly few actual miners). I can see how "leadership" might draw readers, but I'd be more interested in drawing good contributors - then readers will follow.)

stdlib already means something else. Don't you know when you pick a name, you need to pick something with zero google hits?

If you look at the URL, this is the stdlib for debugging leadership. One project deciding to call their standard library stdlib doesn’t mean others cannot.

It does need some additional SEO work but this is a great name for what this product is IMO.

I'm thinking the SEO work is not insurmountable because if you were to draw a Venn diagram of std lib meanings:

    - libc?
    - libstdc++?
    - any of the other standard library of any of our languages (python, java, go blah blah - many langs have rich standard libraries)
    - ...

Maybe worded differently: When you say stdlib, it already depends on the context today. This new context has zero implementation overlap with those existing contexts but it is the same concept.

Yeah I think this is a great name and worth the small SEO battle.

I wasnt intending it to be “a thing” it’s part of something else I’m building

Name aside, looks like a really nice polished website with a ton of resources. Bookmarked, I can see why it was shared on here.

bad name for it. shame on them

Yeah this is terrible. I was reading the title, all excited to hear about some language's standard library, and I wish I could have recorded my facial expression as I kept reading. Yikes.

agile, and scrum?, consultants blog trying to be pretend using tech slang will help with anything

Huh? What do you mean? I’ve been a coder for decades.

as per you linkedin profile titles and headers, you are manager, sales, director, coach and tutor, and consultant.

what part of you income is from making solution via coding/programming/drawing-writing specs? i doubt even 25%.

all of above titles are max 25% at best.

my point is that site uses "stdlib" in title, which implies eng like formalized-categorized fleur of meaning.

but looking into tags and content, it is not far different from enterprise agile middlemanagment type of thing content.
