I don't fear the developer who writes a thousand lines. I fear the developer who writes the same line a thousand times. #brucelee #codinglife #softwareengineer #code #programming

@HAVEH0PE777 So that's why it stopped working for me :( Was looking forward to the extra Rise cases.

netflix taking off the case/rise of the golden idol is ruining my life BRING IT BAAAACCKKKKKK

@AJamesMcCarthy Did you program your telescope mount to follow it?

I must be angering the flat earth community, I’ve had a few more violent threats than usual in my DMs. Guys, just buy a telescope, it’s literally that easy to see the ISS. Why would millions of private astronomers collaborate on this lie 😂 Here’s raw footage of it I captured:

At a workshop today we had to draw our job. This is me, a software engineering knight, entering the forest of unknown unknowns: #softwaredevelopment #ambiguity #unknowns #typescript #softwareengineer

@jetbrains What are the benefits compare to using the Copilot plugin?

Supercharge your development experience with JetBrains IDEs and the ChatGPT app on macOS! 🎉 ChatGPT can now analyze your code in the IDE to deliver better answers. Try the early beta now and share your feedback!

@justinskycak @amorriscode Can say from experience that indeed none of the five warning signs apply to Launch School.

By the way, these pages were super enjoyable reads: launchschool.com/pedagogy -- great summary of the talent development process launchschool.com/mastery -- great overview of mastery learning launchschool.com/is_this_for_me -- great characterization of what is meant by a "Studious Learner" (at @_MathAcademy_, we often say "serious student" to describe the same thing) Even the FAQ is super interesting: launchschool.com/faq Seems like @launchschool has really done their homework reading up on the scientific literature around talent development and putting it into practice.

Here are 5 warning signs that the educational resource you’re using is edutainment and will NOT actually help you learn. 1. Passive consumption. You need to actively solve problems, not passively consume content. Of course, some amount of instructional explanation will be required before you can solve problems, but you should be spending the vast majority of your time solving problems. 2. Lack of depth. Edutainment producers will often cherry-pick examples and problems from the simplest cases that one could possibly encounter. While simple cases can of course provide good scaffolding when followed up with more complex cases, edutainment will stop short and then dishonestly assure the learner that they understand the full topic being discussed. 3. Lack of rigorous assessments. In order to achieve mastery, students must be held accountable for what they learn. If assessments are trivial or nonexistent, then it indicates that either nothing is really being taught, or the resource is not concerned with helping students achieve mastery. 4. Failing upwards. If the resource allows you to progress forward to more advanced material even when you perform poorly on simpler material, then you’ll get to the end of the resource without actually having learned its contents. 5. Lack of skill development. If you are not able to demonstrate the skills that you have learned, then you haven’t actually learned anything at all.

@cglee Learning might not always be fun, but having learned something is almost always rewarding.

I'm not sure if learning SHOULD NOT be fun is the right framing. It's more that learning is orthogonal to "having fun". If you're having fun, awesome. If you're not, awesome. Keep learning. Don't expect fun but don't reject it, either.

@iamdevloper I like would extend these thoughts to the person who decided to put an undo button next to every change in my IDE (@intellijidea) for selective undoing.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the person who decided to add the 'undo' feature in code editors? It's like time travel for developers. Saving us from imminent doom, one Ctrl+Z at a time.

@royvanrijn That's why I have a three-second delay when sending text messages.

When you see a typo the moment you press “Send”.

@AMAZlNGNATURE It would have been even more spectacular if you had written "I put my a cat on my drone".

They put a camera on their cat and realized he is the neighborhood bully

@lucas__crespo Moving surface plus refraction.

What’s stopping you from working like this?

@DanShappir @WeizmanGal I'd say that the moving surface plus refraction are the much bigger problem.

@WeizmanGal But it's stopping me from coding like that!!!

Seriously though: if there are waterproof phones, why not waterproof laptops?

Tell me you're _not_ a professional hacker without telling me you're _not a professional hacker:

@hernandoabella Irresistible.

How is it?

@cglee Is there a changelog for the Capstone program? Would like to know how it evolved over the years.

I’m so proud of what we built at Launch School. Core and Capstone is the best it has ever been. I’m not sure the Capstone program from several years ago would cut it in today’s market. The irony of edu is that schools have to do MORE in a down market. But most schools downsize.

@DanShappir Sci-fi yes, fantasy ok if you must ;)

Cleaning out my book collection at home: deciding which ones are "keepers". Should I write a thread about great sci-fi and fantasy books you probably don't know about?

@catalinmpit I like my team's daily stand-up: * Two minutes banter, * thirteen minutes task talk, * an optional 30 minutes, blocked in everyone's calendar, to dive deeper into topics that require it. And it's just nice in times of remote work to see your colleagues at least once a day.

Standups are a waste of time. Especially the daily ones. A team can provide updates about their work async through text. If there is something to be clarified, people can hop on a call. No need for pointless meetings. Async text updates -> save time and brain cells.

I haven't checked in with Conslog's Markeplace page in a long time. Happy to see that it has passed 2000 installations. Thank you! to all Conslog console.loggers out there. marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName… #vscode #snippet #extension

@butavicius @JSJabber @DanShappir I can relate. @JSJabber was an important part of my career switch into software engineering, too, keeping me motivated along the way. Especially the "Things Every JavaScript Developer Must Know" episodes.
