YES:“Sometimes, the elegant implementation is just a function. Not a method. Not a class. Not a framework. Just a function.” – John Carmack

@chezTone @kotlin It looks as such… and it seems the reason is 🤭

@kotlin is kotlinlang.org down ?

Motivation doesn't come from you, and it doesn't come from games or novelties. It comes from believing in the mission, knowing how your part is crucial to its success, and having the resources to get it done. And from caring about the people you work with.

The worst part about being an educated adult is that, you realize that you can't explain everything with one thing. When you're young, it's easy to say: Everything is science! Everything is greed! Everything is sex! But it turns out everything is... hopelessly complicated.

“My boss invited me for a one-on-one chat where they politely asked me to revert my change. I was aghast. The old code was a mess, and mine was clean! I begrudginly complied, but it took me years to see they were right.” overreacted.io/goodbye-clean-…

Life's most deepest feelings are often expressed in silence.

Repeat after me: you do not go farther by tearing others down. It just doesn't work like that. Build each other up. We get further together.

@felis_rex ✋

@kvlly I just read this while fetching another cup of coffee. ☕️

IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOU MUST: - GO TO BED AT MIDNIGHT AND WAKE UP AT 4 AM - HIT THE GYM DAILY FOR 2 HOURS - DRINK A GALLON OF COFFEE A DAY - MAINTAIN INBOX ZERO AT ALL TIMES

Pondering Agile anti-patterns today. Soooo many come to mind: * hero culture * shame & blame * silos * command & control * no experimentation * fear of failure * feature pressure * urgency/fire-fighting * coding alone * poor communication * poor code quality How about you?

@rachsmithtweets Unfortunately the UX of tools and processes to deliver software are not on the same level as the software we deliver most of the time. Most people (tool developers and users) have completely different priorities it seems 🤷‍♂️

@EricVBailey Tribes 2 Borderlands 2 Live for Speed Settlers 2 (&remake) …I can’t think of a fifth that deserves in that list

Name the five video games you’ve put the most playtime into.

You waste a perfectly good problem by stopping at one solution.

@robotlolita But…writing parsers is kind of fun…? Why are you writing an erlang parser, though?

@MrksTre @LastWeekTonight @iamjohnoliver Do it!!

@ASpittel @jessitron @raganwald @steveklabnik @hirojin and so many others… 💪

Who are your favorite people to follow for learning how to code?

@kvlly Whatever brings the most value 🤷‍♂️ In Long-living Systems, this usually boils down to the hard parts, in new ones, the simple parts.

How do you determine the order of your coding work?

@wycats git add —patch find … mv a.{foo,bar}

What are the top 3 things you do in your shell other than cd and ls?

@kvlly My team and I released/presented two internal tools and everyone loved it 🌈

What small coding win are you celebrating this week? 🎉

@kvlly 1. I have no idea what I’m doing 2. I have no idea what is happening 3. What?

Oh you're a developer? Name 3 of your favorite commit messages
