@shanselman enjoyed your recent .net containers talk (youtu.be/KqhhaMgbGhU?si…) but wondering why you didn’t try running pants.exe with NoOS like in Docker hello-world (hub.docker.com/_/hello-world/) that would have seemed the next step down from the wasm example right?

Excited to be going to #esug2024 - #smalltalk is alive and innovating 44 years on …

I hadn’t used @gitlab in a while - but wow it really does offer a compelling end to end experience that made me smile. Every time I thought “it would be nice if it had X”, blimey, X was there to try. It’s nice to smile

Maybe it’s me, but its not obvious that if I build a Docker image in a gitlab pipeline and store in its registry (amazingly simple to do) that to run it locally, I need to docker login to that registry and then pull it, to then see it to run it. Took me ages to think this way,

@shanselman Indeed - many interesting projects in multiple languages, there’s something for everyone which is inspiring. Zombie clients in wasm or a microvm controlled by the server are particularly audacious and make me grin (see CodeParadise or Catalyst)

OH: "I really feel like server-side rendering is the future of the web." 🤦🏻‍♂️

@felipesere @tastapod Possibly petitparser.github.io is worth a look for getting to code as code… I always find it fascinating . Whereas IaC as presented in common usage is a step backwards.

@tastapod I’m still waiting for code-as-code where one can define what code should look like… by writing… “drum roll”… code 😅

@shanselman It’s a great podcast often with unexpected and impactful topics, thanks for doing it!

someone nominate my podcast for an award. It’d be nice to win something before I hit 1000 episodes of fresh tech and fresh faces

@richajam Yeah… shocking isn’t it. Hopefully people read the full article Dan has dumped me in otherwise I’m doomed.

@iterex did you know you are the #1 story on hacker news right now? news.ycombinator.com

@tastapod That’s awesome! And guess what? I’m still patiently doing it, but I have also learned to pair with that “productivity manager” and their “boss” too!

@kelseyhightower It does seem like the dev’s Apple hired in a hurry couldn’t be bothered to learn the simplicity of the Smalltalk , Objective-C was trying to emulate and they went in the opposite direction with complexity. There aren’t enough simple languages like Go, Smalltalk, Lisp - shame.

@joewalnes @tastapod @boicy @ICooper @d_stepanovic @natpryce @sf105 @lunivore @johnsnolan @ivanrmoore @rachelcdavies @PapaChrisMatts I am honoured that we got to be a part of so many interesting stories and meet so many special people … but even cooler, the baton was passed on and the journeys continue (and many of watch in the sidelines catching our second wind)

@iterex @tastapod @boicy @ICooper @d_stepanovic @natpryce @sf105 @lunivore @johnsnolan @ivanrmoore @rachelcdavies @PapaChrisMatts Seems like a lifetime ago! Thanks for writing this up

@tastapod @TotherAlistair @boicy @ICooper @d_stepanovic @natpryce @joewalnes @sf105 @lunivore @johnsnolan @ivanrmoore @rachelcdavies @PapaChrisMatts It really makes me smile to hear these stories, XTC was supposed to be slightly tongue in cheek - a place to spit out “silly ideas”… but “many a true word said in jest “ and a community to explore different ideas.

@tastapod @boicy @ICooper @d_stepanovic @natpryce @joewalnes @sf105 @lunivore @johnsnolan @ivanrmoore @rachelcdavies @PapaChrisMatts We wanted to share ideas with fellow developers and have a bit of fun… the rest is a long standing history.

@tastapod @boicy @ICooper @d_stepanovic @natpryce @joewalnes @sf105 @lunivore @johnsnolan @ivanrmoore @rachelcdavies @PapaChrisMatts However XTC actually pre-dates Connextra - the first meetings were in a pub near London where Oli Bye, myself and Paul Simmons (working for a small company called Dashboards) agreed to meet Steve and describe our experiments with XP.

@tastapod @boicy @ICooper @d_stepanovic @natpryce @joewalnes @sf105 @lunivore @johnsnolan @ivanrmoore @rachelcdavies @PapaChrisMatts As a touch of humour, Oli and I conjured up a name, XTC (eXtreme Tue Club) and we made a little logo from some nearby newspapers (it’s in my attic somewhere)

@christianhujer I’ll go out on a limb and say there is nothing wrong with story points (I like the original ideal days ) - but agree advanced teams move away from them. But there aren’t many such teams… & will add I t’s not a lot about estimation, but more building design, trust & cadence

XP: "Story points don't work, let's ditch them." Scrum Masters: "Oh, look what I found in the trashcan of XP."

@engineers_feed I love how the interspersed ads all seem irrelevant as I read this

What’s an invention that was once useful but is now irrelevant?

This affects the newer gen2 devices like the 1PM, the Dimmer2 and Shelly2.5 sensibly let you set a password that the app remembers … so easy to override device schedules in a hurry

Don’t you love it when the reply from a company is “the developers say this is expected product behaviour - it was decided by the R&D managers”. @ShellyCloud - not remembering light switch passwords more than 5 hours is ridiculous!
