Jon Moore

@Kevinfarley1994 @houstonship @mekkaokereke @Apptentive Not to defend the disparagement at all, but “1200 poorly batched RPCs” made sense to me. I interpreted it as multiple client-server or cross-region server-server requests sent in series/parallel rather than batched behind a single such request.

@houstonship @jon_moore @mekkaokereke @Apptentive Not only did he publicly disparage his team, his supposed diagnosis of what they did wrong (1200 "poorly batched rpc") is tantamount to saying 2+2=5 A junior engineer could point out why what Elon said was nonsense. Imagine your boss is publicly disparaging your work this way.

@geeksam @sarahmei @GeePawHill For example, it’s considerably more tractable if we limit ourselves to programs without recursion or loops (although whether those are *interesting* programs is debatable!)

@geeksam @sarahmei @GeePawHill I agree with the OP premise (about the likelihood of being able to prove programs as bug-free). It’s important to remember that the halting problem applies to arbitrary programs, which means we have to be careful how we generalize it.

@strangeloop_stl Whoa!

Strange Loop 2023 (Sep 21-22) will be the last edition of Strange Loop! We hope you can join us for one last conference. Early bird tickets are available now. ti.to/strange-loop/2…

@editingemily In the end, it’s the same math we learned in school, but I think we were taught more symbolically / abstractly. Lots of kids have trouble making that leap. The pictures help visualize things in a way that help a lot of kids grok what is going on.

@editingemily I’ve had multiple kids exposed to this by now. My impression is that the models (which, really, is just “draw a picture of the situation”) are there to take abstract math and connect it to something more concrete.

I think I’m going to live tweet Back to School night because Back to School night is where happy people go to die and I want you to suffer too.

@bikemamadelphia Similar story in the 188th:

💥💥💥💥

@radiocolin yes

@davepgreene @skamille For sure, it’s not coding 100%. But it’s > 0%!

@jon_moore @skamille This was one of the reasons I switched back to IC although paradoxically I spend a lot less time coding as a non-management, engineering leader than I thought I would. That might, unfortunately, just be the reality of growth in this field past a certain point.

@davefarley77 Walking shoes

Most important 'non-computer' related piece of equipment for a programmer? 🤔

@mhawthorne @michaelswinslow @nithyaruff Yes. Could be a part of ongoing education. Some managers end up switching back to an IC role (cough, cough). Should not be interfering with the things only the manager can do for the team, though, as @nithyaruff suggested.

@michaelswinslow @nithyaruff @jon_moore as a non-manager, I’d be curious about the things my manager was choosing not to do in order to write code instead

I have known leaders that were fabulous leaders & coded like @jon_moore. For me, coding is not a part of how I lead. I want to be technical enough to get the challenges & opps, and to unblock and scale my teams work. Also to advocate, sponsor and communicate their work.

@michaelswinslow @nithyaruff +1. If you are opening PRs and your team is not giving you “changes requested” reviews, best to step back.

@nithyaruff @jon_moore Yes, there are definitely exceptions and Jon is one of them. There's also the nuance that you can code (like to do something to automate your management tasks) but be careful if your thinking about coding in the same code base as your team. Might want to leave that to them.

@DrQz @xaprb Nice!

BTW, the new and improved version now has 3 parameters (thx to an observation by @xaprb c.2018), which removes the need to normalize the load-testing or production throughput data.

Always nice when the USL gets a mention perfdynamics.com/Manifesto/USLs… #scalable #performance #capacity

@hibaymj TIL!

@jon_moore The specific key sequence or the function? Cmd + shift + T does perform the function.

@moonpolysoft Same. I have a 17yo swimmer.
