@kerckhove_ts @dhh If it isn't 64 core, is it really suitable for serious work? 🙃

@dhh I'm also cheating a Little bit because I'm using a 64-core workstation so I probably get to use a bit more parallelism.

@mattpocockuk @LushEcho I genuinely think it should.

@LushEcho I have so many questions. Do you genuinely think I'm saying my CLI should know my identity?

Next.js, do you even know who I am?

@bradtgmurray It was only 4 years?! It felt like pebble was around a lot longer, I suppose because you got so much done and it carried on having impact long after the acquisition! I remember being so disappointed when I didn't get my Pebble Time 2 and all those smart straps!

@ThePrimeagen Yup! I want rock solid reliability, if I get that with a simple off the shelf approach that takes minutes to set up, why would I do anything else? Unfortunately that hasn't worked for my house, so it will be more sophisticated 😅 But I envy people who's network just works!!!

@KevinHenrikson Obviously most engineers know how their routers are set up. But damn, if you're over-optimizing on your home Internet setup, you're wasting your time and a poor resource allocator, and that's a terrible signal for 10x engineers.

Your technical interview process is wrong. After building multiple engineering teams at Microsoft, VMware & Instacart, I've discovered what really predicts performance. Here are the 3 traits of the best engineers:

@scottkclark @takisbig It's so vague that it sounds like it could even apply to all of their customers!

@DuaneStorey @ThomasRedstone @dhh How is it related to them?

WPE has filed for a preliminary injunction against Automattic to have the hijacked ACF plugin listing returned and access to update their plugins restored. Immensely reasonable. I hope the court grants the request swiftly. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

@bitfield No. Sections of a function act as paragraphs, maybe they should be split into more functions, but maybe sometimes a blank line is fine.

Blank lines within functions are a pointless waste of space please stop adding them

@mattpocockuk TS6?

Imagine a subset of TypeScript that doesn't include enums, namespaces, or parameter properties. I.e. removing everything widely considered 'legacy'. What would you call this subset? "Modern TypeScript"?

@StephenKing Sounds like winning?

@dhh What do you mean by economics? Because I'm not aware of many programmers actually needing to work using the principles of economics.

It's funny how many programmers can be very good at math while also being very bad at economics.

@fionaaajade Virgin Tickets gives rewards and is also fee free, which might put it slightly ahead of the operators apps!

@MGJayOfTheP @paulmetcalfe @fesshole Yup, I don't think they offer any other payment method than card. And freezing your card doesn't stop it either!

@DigbyStrong @GETucker1 @RoryStewartUK All of that is only really possible for the Government, you can't defeat popularist liars with more words, only action. The Tories needed this reset. Hopefully Labour are up for the task so that by the next election there are two parties capable of leading this country well.

The change brought by this election is far more dramatic than realised. Only 3/30 members of Boris Johnson’s 2022 cabinet remain in Commons 2 years later - 90 per cent of his leadership are gone. This is a radically different commons. Let’s hope the new MPs improve things…. before they are co-opted by the leadership and whips

@brianmoore666 I'd love a list of MPs who wear suits that cost much less than that... I suspect it's a fairly short list.

Just in case you missed this sad bastard's tweet, which he's now deleted.....
