Another wonderful conversation with @JasonSwett codewithjason.com/podcast/188561…

@pragprog Even more useful today when you're running lots of coding sessions

Picking up tmux for resilient, reconnectable persistent Claude sessions? We (sorta) humbly suggest THE tmux resource (delightfully presented in full color...) Now in its third edition, written by Brian Hogan, this is the one you need. 🔗 in🧵 cuz... algorithms.

@pragprog @risk_first This is a cool approach to thinking about risk; something you design for, not around

@JasonSwett Is there a worst use for a class, too. 90% of base classes should be mixed.

Is there a worse name for a class than "Base"?

I think this is my very first live stream podcast: I'm really looking forward to it. (links below)

This looks very interesting: a pleasant, simple, and modern syntax on top of C.

@codetrap_dev Thank you...

@pragdave Best talk ever, ever

My SF Ruby talk on why you shouldn't use classes when you're writing OO code is now online. Link below

til; If you ssh into OS X, you don't have access to your login keychain, so a lot of apps that normally just work now require auth. You can fix that using: security unlock-keychain ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db

My book is #1 on Amazon! Proving once again that you can be #1 in anything, as long as you control the denominator. a.co/d/dPiWKRE

Til: you can tag a whole repo in github. You use "topics"

@strzibnyj My understanding is that X demotes posts containing links, but not replies.

@pragdave You can share links directly. Let's stop the link below posts please :)

@AxisBank : You're still sending me confidential information for one of your customers. I've told you many times about this, but you clearly don't care, so I'm going to post them. Here's the latest. Fairly innocuous: your customer's electricity bill, emailed by you to me.

@chadfowler Most important part of the talk :)

@pragdave Nice socks!

It's the time of year for reflection. I jotted down my thoughts on why books are still essential in the age of instant information. Link below. Oh, and there's a 40% off coupon on all books from pragprog.com
