Big up the @CostaCoffee. Whenever I have problems collecting points on the app, they always help me out.

@CostaCoffee Kudos for the swift resolution🙏

@PaaSfand Hi Asfand, sorry to hear this! Please can you DM us with a screenshot of what you're seeing next time this happens? We'd also advise deleting and reinstalling the app. We'll also be happy to add any missing beans, just DM us with proof of purchase and your Costa clubcard number.

@CostaCoffee hey, how comes I can't scan the QR code from your machines into your app any more? I hold the QR code in the view port just like the app tells me to, and it doesn't do anything. I've missed so many beans and free coffees, feels a little unfair...

@PeteWalen People always forget that - it was an amazing achievement. Shame someone else had plans to rain on his parade though...

This Date, 1066: Harold Godwinson, King of England, meets and defeats Harald Hardrada, King of Norway and claimant to the English Throne, at Stamford Bridge. Hardrada and his leading Jarls die in the battle; the surviving Norwegians accept the terms offered and return to Norway.

How can we expect our engineers to deliver results is we haven't properly defined them first?

If you're following the 12 factor methodology (which you usually should be) and configuring your app with environment variables, validate them at application start. It sucks to find out an environment variable is wrongly formatted when someone tries to use your service.

People who think you should have to multitask in the workplace need to try riding a bike while doing a crossword and then doing them both separately. What gets you further with less danger?

Accurate

Do you know why the tortoise beat the hare in the race? The tortoise didn't have parallel workstreams. It had one focused task to work on whereas context switching overhead killed the hare's productivity. #Productivity #Leadership

I have a love/hate relationship with tests. When they're there, I hate maintaining them. When they're not there, I miss them. I think I'm in a toxic relationship with testing. #SoftwareEngineering #TDD #TestDrivenDevelopment
