I want autonomy. Did you get your copy of the Work Chronicles 2025 calendar? Link in bio.

Why would anyone need a PR to be able to peer into what changes are being made and how they've been made? What's stopping people from looking directly into a repo? If they have access to PRs, they by definition have access to the repo.👇

What are you learning right now that you feel will really improve you as a developer? 👇

@housecor Critical thinking

Challenge: Name something that a software developer should *always* do. Is there a single practice that always applies? "Write tests". Not always worth it. "Do code reviews". May pair instead. "Set up a CI server". Overkill when working alone. I can only think of 2 practices that I'd always apply: 1. Use source control. Even when working alone. Even on a small project. It's hard to imagine a circumstance where I would recommend skipping it. 2. Auto-format. If your language has a tool like Prettier, use it. I can't think of a good reason to spend time manually formatting code.

@keithpitt @Coles Some expensive paper bags there

I kid you not, this is our $150 @Coles grocery delivery. Checked the cameras, the driver dropped off 2 empty bags.

@keithpitt @buildkite Natural language?

If @buildkite were to change the default pipeline config language from YAML to (something)… what should it be?

@mipsytipsy +1 to TBD (typical reason: we need audit trial of someone click the merge button), paring cannot replace PR (similar reason as above) and CD (typical reason: segregate if duty so the person who did the work cannot be the person deploying the work) 🥲

What modern development or operational best practices have you been told you can't introduce due to "compliance" or "regulatory reasons"? Especially love to hear from my friends in fintech 🥰 (I'm writing something for fintech devcon *right now*, gimme your worst!)

@andee_marks Thank you!!! Let me have a 👀

@mini_inny This is my second time around with Obsidian (didn't take the first time) and I've had more time to spend with it. I'm getting by mainly with core + a few community plugins (Banners, Tasks, Calendar, Templater) and mainlining lots of videos from @FromSergio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@FromSergio

I have fallen so deeply into an #Obsidian note-taking plugin/configuration/query rabbithole I may never return... will someone please water my house plant?

Just pushed a Chrome extension that brings the 🧨 of #ChatGPT to the #AWS #CloudWatch Logs Insights console. Simply explain what data you want back and you'll get a (best effort) insights query. You'll often need to make tweaks, but it does a good job saving you a lot of typing/googling. #cloudwatch-logs-insights-chatgpt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/ljacobsson/cw-…

@hisafira Ohhh tried to get a canon AE1 from eBay before but got outbid by the bot twice and i gave up. I ended up getting a Pentax k1000 from a shop. Have u try search for something like AE1 canon where to buy <insert where you are>. I think you should be able to find some places!

@mini_inny like amazon? i mean true but i really wanted to browse the shelf bc idk what i want 🤷‍♀️

i’ve been really struggling to find proper film cameras? even in tokyo? are film cameras actually dying :(

My best management advice is don’t make it difficult for someone to do the right thing.

I just got a resume for a "IAM Engineer." Wow, it's a whole career now.

TDD applies a pressure to create code that is objectively “higher quality". This is irrespective of the talent or experience of the software developer.
