Everyone who (LinkedIn) endorsed me for drinking, your dream has been realized:

@vince94320 @pawelpacana @pankowecki As does @mfeathers. I’d encourage reading various books and finding a style that’s net positive for you. I’ve never seen any style become ubiquitous; I’d give up on that. I’d focus on what works in practice; and distrust anyone writing about something they’re not using daily.

@pawelpacana @pankowecki @thejayfields Different Developers/Authors have different definition of Unit Tests, I advice you to read more books and think the one has the authority, you will see that for example Kent Beck has a different take on the subject

Low level unit tests cement the design and prevent you from actually making changes easily. I see so many teams learning it over and over.

Working with systems is more than writing code, it is generation of Active Knowledge. In this article, I describe the concept and how it can be used to impact organizational decision-making. stayrelevant.globant.com/en/technology/…

@venkat_s You missed a test. 😉

The biggest surprise, and the ensuing doubts, arise when a piece of code seems to work on the first write.

@lilduval Is any fast food as good as it used to be?

Zaxbys just don’t give a fuck no more huh? 😂😂😂😂

@paul_hammant I would certainly use any valuable automation. I can’t speak for the younger crew. All of my team are sr devs. If I had to guess, I’d say excellence isn’t rewarded, thus tools that lead to excellence aren’t valued as they should be.

@thejayfields Those particular developers would use the heck out of the IDE features as soon as the language support had been perfected :) Their fingers remember the IDE keystrokes from years before. The newer crew that's anti-TBD never saw that safely-move-code-around-using-tools world?

I think part of the problem of waning patronage for trunk-based development is the lack of experience with Refactoring tools. And even then not all IDEs not doing all the regular refactorings. Not even all JetBrains IDEs

@paul_hammant Maybe the developers who cared about refactoring moved to languages where IntelliJ lacks support. 🤷‍♂️

Point is, even JetBrains couldn't extend the same functionality to all the languages they cover sibling IDEs. Even for languages older than Java. Then other IDE makers barely even tried. That reality means people are not refactoring, which totally changes coding behaviors.

@toddlmontgomery discusses lessons learned in designing systems, especially those based on replicated state machines, that need to continue operating. Couldn't make it to #QConSF? You can still attend the conference online at #QConPlus: bit.ly/3CHZhfo

@lilduval They have a distinct vibe too. A confidence. It’s beautiful.

I can tell Caribbean women by how they wear they make up.

@KevlinHenney Is it more generally, the more inefficiency exists, the more complexity you will need to maintain the perception of forward progress?

Just a reminder that all bug prioritisation schemes in practice degenerate to three scheduling categories: do it now, do it later, never do it. If you have a numbered system with many priority levels, what you actually have is a bureaucratic system of denial.

@lilduval Paradox of Enrichment: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_o…

This generation getting way more money than our generation and y’all still unhappy and depressed. So what that tell you about money?

@lilduval If you prepay it’s illegal, and if you pay as you go they drag you. People just want to be mad at something.

It’s the money when u young too. So what dat mean? 😂😂

@deadly_onion @homsiT @erinmuur @gcaprio @readwise “Thank you for your feedback, here is why you’re wrong” 😂

@homsiT @erinmuur @gcaprio @readwise lol yeah the bonus highlight is a (beloved) feature that was requested by users -- not an advertisement or something

@duncanmcg @natpryce +:1000000:

@lilduval Penny smart; dollar stupid. People don’t realize money is good, but relationships are everything.

Peoples fees change when they think you got it. But those type of people usually don’t last long

@tbollers The answer lies in your question Trev.

It is strange to me that things we feel greatly affect the population are not ruled upon by the population. We live in the future where it is possible to count every vote. Why are we not actually listening to the people as a whole instead of a misguided few with with agendas.

@glv @BrianGoetz @tastapod @BigGreenEggUK I have a table as well, and love it. Would recommend. I also purchased a Mini XL for grilling. I’ve yet to find a reason to justify that choice.

@thejayfields @BrianGoetz @tastapod @BigGreenEggUK Same, and I have it mounted in a table. If you’re interested in smoking or long cooks, it’s great. If you just want to grill stuff, it’s overkill.

@BrianGoetz @tastapod @BigGreenEggUK I have the large and am happy with it. It’s a good solution if you want to geek out some, but don’t want to go full offest smoker.

@tastapod @BigGreenEggUK Also depends on which weber you mean.

@lilduval Why would that be on your bucket list?

I’ve done damn near everything on your bucket list but I’ve never been on a cruise 🚢 and don’t ever want to either 😂

@lilduval You prefer pay as you go over prepaid plans then?

Sex ain’t good when you flat out paying for it
