You should only have to change your tests when you change what your system does, not how it does it - my philosophy to testing blog.alexgilleran.com/test-against-w…

@dhindes You can book future zoo trips

I wrote about how I plan out new features at work - so effectively a wordy blog about wordy confluence articles, but it's worth reading! siteminder.com/news/opinions/…

@codinghorror @benhoad Might want to youtube it before you get there with a kid. Or anyone 🥺

@benhoad have not gotten there yet!

Shout out to "It Takes Two", which is a delightful designed-for-co-op experience to have with parent and any child of ages 6+. Strong recommend. store.steampowered.com/app/1426210/It…

@bilkinsfolly The dog not dropping the stick is pretty realistic tbh 😉

Not gonna lie... The throw-stick powerup is pretty buggy rn #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #pixelart

@bezdomniy Yep! Maybe Elon unbanned you already 😛

@AlexGilleran , you saw my tweet?! I was paranoid that I had a shadowban from a spambot that got into my account years ago. Seems to be all in order then!

@darrenwells 🥲

Great to see @pmc_gov_au launch the foundational four today - some really clear advice for managing data inside government that echoes what we’ve seen during our work @Data61news datacommissioner.gov.au/resources/foun…

@divadybhsa Took an episode or two to get into, but I actually think it’s an even better medium for the show than TV because it’s less constrained, nicely done! Only thing that doesn’t quite work is Ilsa, I’m impressed by how well it works but you don’t get much of a feel for her character.

Keen to know your thoughts on the new show!

@dvntownsend Take all the time you need, these podcasts are a dream come true 🙂

I could talk for a month on any one of these records, (as any artist could in any of their works) Just kind of grazing over them in the podcasts I suppose.

So this is apparently the proud new owner of an old Skype account that had some money on it - their algorithm has decided I'm not able to provide enough information to prove that it's not his. @skype could you at least lock it before it's used to do something awful?

@actualbudget this new ability to pick date formats for imported files is just what I needed, great work :)

@juliette_io Is it actually a % of population or tests per capita (because one person gets tested > 1 time)? I saw the ABC started with % then had to adjust it - great work on the site, really happy to see testing data on it this morning 🙂.

Thread. I spent last night looking at Australia's #COVIDー19 testing data🦉Especially after we heard the PM say Australia has one of the highest testing rates in the world. True? 1/10 covid19data.com.au #COVID19au #covid19australia #coronavirusau #auspol

@AlexKOliver The situation isn't impossible - other governments (some much poorer than ours) are getting their citizens out, nor did they create their situation - they traveled before DFAT advised them not to. Resilience doesn't get you through checkpoints, consular assistance does.

Our resilience is not what it used to be. My thoughts on what toilet paper and Australian vacationers say about our national character and reliance on government abc.net.au/news/2020-03-2…

@JedWatson @MelloGarrett Problem with trying to do this with not-intended-to-be-serverless libs is that you end up with a giant javascript file for each function, which means it's potentially slow to start and expensive.

@JedWatson @MelloGarrett You can deploy them to separate functions without now too (e.g. with firebase), just takes a bit of extra messing around. next build will give you a bunch of built javascript that you can require in from your function IIRC.

🙋‍♂️Hey serverless fans, help me validate / invalide an idea... Given a GraphQL Server (e.g apollo server, full of resolvers and maybe an ORM or Prisma 2) is it crazy to run this in a lambda? maybe, specifically, inside a Next.js /api route?

@tomsaunders Yeah I think you're supposed to be chipping in for the cost of the flight? It's not super clear though...

@AlexGilleran although actually that link was trying to hit me up for cash until I clicked some stuff, which was confusing

Bring back @mattieryan! smh.com.au/national/nsw/s…
