Just popping in, how is everyone?

I'm working to improve my coaching skills. Listened to "The Coaching Habit" on Audible this weekend. A good intro with some handy tips. I think I can go deeper into the subject though - any recommendations?

Aw Tony. What a life, 96 years and a lot of joy shared. I got into him in my late teens after the Rat Pack revival and the legend that he was "Frank Sinatra's favourite singer".

@monkchips Managing energy rather than workload. If the mood hits, gotta run with it 👏

it's my day off so naturally i just spent 90 minutes working on a presentation i need to give next week.

@monkchips @kiwicopple @supabase It's such a good platform. We're using it at BH and loving it.

Talked to @kiwicopple about @supabase yesterday. Having had some time to think about it I am quite struck by the simple bigness of the long term vision. The darling of the developer experience in-crowd but they're like fuck yeah we're going to sell postgres to the enterprise

@willmcgugan I went on to discuss it with a colleague and now appreciate its a very graceful way of doing this, once you are familiar. My 'old fashioned' approach would have required setting the initial variable before the loop, then resetting each loop so this is more efficient for sure.

@willmcgugan I confess I've never used it. The thing that was counter intuitive to me from this example is that at first I didn't grok (from code only) that it is trying not to match existing. An extra line within the loop explicitly regenerating the route_key might have stood out more 🤷‍♂️

Working on libraries as I do, I don't get the opportunity to use the walrus operator much. Did I do it right?

Everyone alright over here? Yesterday was fun on Threads. It's worth a go. I need a chronological timeline of my follows before I can take it seriously but they've confirmed it's being worked on.

Mandatory - see you there soon? @philsheard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@philsheard

@psmith 😂

I will add: I also have the physique of an elite darts player (from the 1980s).

Working at home while my three children scream at each other gives some insight into the mental toughness needed by elite darts players at Alexandra Palace.

FT really lets its hair down on the weekend. This Wu Tang cover image is surely quite niche for the audience? I love it, obvs.

What I like most about @ewebber's Team Onion is the approach of Core members / Collaborators/ Supporters can apply pretty much universally, no matter what the org structure is. No team is an island.

@monkchips Really good James. I take a lot from this for non-dev roles as well. Systems and infra should be enabling and not something that you have to purposefully navigate.

Had a lot of fun making this. On golden paths and platform engineering and stuff. Man on a bike.

@Nica Accurate! The Richard Hammond vibes were strong with that hairdo.

@philsheard Alex Turner is turning into a wedding singer version of Richard Hammond. 😂

AM at Glasto. Belting.

@clotti @Armo @aden_76 Foos were great this afternoon. Not my cup of tea but Carly Rae Jepson seemed to be keeping a lot of people happy on the Other stage earlier, she won me over at least.

@Armo @aden_76 Sparks bob on mad brilliant. X

Young Fathers. West Holts Stage. Awesome intensity and some excellent dance moves. #Glastonbury23

Spicy take might have some merit

Worth some minutes of your time. "All major actors are currently US-based, and Europe has yet to see the appearance of a serious contender. This is a major geopolitical issue..." sifted.eu/articles/pitch…

Oh to be at Glasto
