@Wattenberger Looks similar to github.com/QalaTech/speki which uses local your local agents you’re already paying for?

If you bundle together the changes, agents, and context for each task, you get: - parallel workstreams - instant task switching - more informed agents - saner workflows - painless handoff - perpetual context (why did we do X) ...

@pontusab Or don't, and say "oops"—a great way to find out whether anyone is using it without expensive observability tools.

@TheDaveJay i'm forwardthinker

Pro tip: always version your APIs.

@Aaronontheweb If you code something that pisses off a customer, but they keep coming back, it means you actually still add value in their live. If they don’t you should question the value proposition. Perfect solutions aren’t a good defence mechanism, unless for critical life and death stuff.

@Aaronontheweb Because programmers believe everything is in their control, and perfectionism culture has been rife for a while, or they don’t understand Idempotency patterns.

I don't understand why programmers still default to trying to recover from ambiguous / probably fatal exceptions instead of just letting things crash and restart.

@Aaronontheweb Makes sense if AI is writing most of the code :D

@Aaronontheweb This is awesome! Will def use it

Demo a little Oss project I've been working on - Witticism, a hotkey-based speech-to-text tool for talking to your command line / text editor / email client. I _just_ added Windows support for it yesterday, which I use live in the demo.

Webhooks are essential for some services to work and provide value. However, so many people get them wrong. Missing one event can make them untrustworthy. I wrote a design consideration if you wanted to make your own: qalatech.io/blog/free-webh…

@Aaronontheweb You made quite the Actor.

I spent ~2.5 hours wearing this in 90 degree heat at our church's Trunk or Treat on Saturday - inflatable costumes are simply not meant for these kinds of temperatures lol

The Manhattan Alien Abduction… @elonmusk, can you send her to space and see if she recognises anything?

@kellabyte You’ll find that there are different types of dotnet folk. We use it and it’s a great language. Dotnet 8 is great. Don’t blame a language or framework because of its users - that’s like saying all drivers of Volvo are old. Welcome to come see what we are up to!

I’ve been away from the .NET space for almost a decade but I’m back and I’m already fighting against folks who want to implement Event Sourcing architecture to solve something that 25kb of ints will solve the problem. .NET architects are obsessed with styles of architectures.

@carlpaton Like your response, you are 6 years behind the times. Kthnksbaaai

@TheDaveJay Please use test containers in 2024. kthanksbi

@Aaronontheweb Here here. Holistic thinking as a founder is something you train for and learn from multiple failures.

Building great software is so much easier than building great software organizations, as I keep learning over and over again 🫠

@Aaronontheweb OHH SO MANY! Where do I even start?! :D

What are things you've always wanted to know about starting your own software company?

@azuresupport #azhelp: All services from our AKS cluster has stopped connecting to Azure Service Bus. Submitted a critical ticket over an hour ago and still no contact coming back

@SarahAirdMash you deserve it and I've voted for you!

I am thrilled to have been nominated for 40 Over Forty and would love your vote to help me make the official Top 40 list! You can vote for me at 40overForty.com.

IMO if you're committing a PR to an OSS project regarding functionality you're using in your job, you shouldn't even have to ask anyone for the permission. This code is running on your production, it's part of your responsibilities.
