@destraynor @raphaelschaad @paulg @jasonfried @spolsky Yeah, there's definitely a "forgot about Dre" buzz to people in tech asking who @spolsky is.

@raphaelschaad @paulg @jasonfried @spolsky 100% I've gotten a few DMs along the lines of "who?" but he is 🐐 of the OG software blogging scene.

3 exceptional writers who changed my life, and what I love about each @paulg takes meaty topics, breaks them down methodically with impeccable logic and you leave the essay smarter @jasonfried takes topics people love to complicate and lacerates through the bullshit with concise clear writing @spolsky made dull important topics so entertaining with frequent humor

In 30 minutes: Join me, @ID_AA_Carmack, and @davidlcraddock at 8pm GMT for DOOM's 30th Anniversary stream. twitch.tv/theromero

Happy 30th birthday, DOOM. I'm grateful to have been a part of this incredible team. Thank you for playing our games, and thank you for keeping DOOM alive, all these many years.

.@romero @ID_AA_Carmack For the day that's in it. Major landmark in my childhood, this was - even back in those days, didn't take too long to make its way to rural Ireland. #doom30

For younger female engineers in industry , what sparked your interest in STEM? What can schools to encourage more girls to take STEM subjects for leaving cert? Working in a mixed gender school and struggling to spark & keep the interest of girls in our STEAM lab. #womeninSTEM

@ThreeCare I'm roaming in the UK, mobile data stopped working. Was fine for the first day, now nothing. Calls/SMS still working. Any ideas?

@kevinhargaden Congrats folks :)

@romero @ABRAMSbooks @rhaliterary Congrats :) Ordered a copy just the other day, it's high up my to-read list.

It's been an incredible week. The reviews for DOOM Guy are beyond what I could have imagined. People are (somehow!) reading it cover to cover in a single day! I'm grateful to @ABRAMSbooks, especially Connor and Taryn, and Markus Hoffmann at @RHALiterary for giving it a chance.

@QuiteDan Good to see the game addressing the kind of everyday harassment squirrels face👍

If you could have one game from the '90s rebooted, what would it be?

@adamgordonbell Yep. This comic hit the mark pretty well, since been endlessly posted in response to questions asking why code is (still) a thing: commitstrip.com/en/2016/08/25/…?

In summary: Writing down the exact way to do something, in english or SQL or whatever language, is the hard part of the job. You should probably follow me for more fun takes about software development.

The Low-Code people have things to learn from this cycle.

@QuiteDan Showing my age here, but Trespasser, featuring The Arm. (The control system centred around the PC's right arm, viewed from the first-person, which was seemingly around 5 feet long and flipped between 2 and 11 degrees of freedom.)

#indiedev #gamedev Name a game that's not super fun to play, but you still respect it for trying something different

@trello "What? No, that was production."

Tell a work horror story in 5 words or less 👻😱

@eoghan @intercom Jaysus, fair play man, very cool :)

I'm back at @intercom as CEO!

@unaminhkavanagh @paddypoh Congrats folks :)

@jen_chesters @IainRowan @MARspidermonkey Buxton, Derbyshire - in the Peak District. Very nice town and surrounds besides.

@IainRowan @MARspidermonkey Where is this?!!! I feel a #BookshopPilgrimage coming on!

@IainRowan Hah, was there just last week, first time back in the UK since Covid landed. Big fan of that place, has kept me coming to Buxton for years.

@LastEchoMiri Be sure and bring your own towel and screwdriver.

@AlanBaxter As an author, you might appreciate this one; achieving immortality through writing is likely a hit-or-miss prospect, even in the tech era. Ireland's census people have just handed it to everyone in the country: census.ie/census-2022/ti…
