@kitsonk It's the "part X is falling off" form.

On UA731 from SFO to PHX and the pilot pulled "we have some more paperwork to fill out" while holding short of the runway. Let's be real, there is a maintenance issue with the aircraft.

I'm officially calling myself an Award-Winning Tech Lead! Incredibly proud of what me and my team created with our friends at Reece.

@ineffyble I can think of a bunch of apps that would demonstrably improve with less functionality

Every time I look, Facebook Messenger has had functionality removed. It's just becoming worse and worse. I don't understand.

I had to solve a captcha today where they were asking for motorbikes, but giving me pictures of motorscooters... I feel so dirty 😭

I never had "learning how to admin SharePoint" on my 2023 bingo card, but here I am.

Don't forget "NextGen"... I've been on 3 of those I think

@ctford @ShriramKMurthi Different standards of germs?

@ShriramKMurthi Different standards of proof?

In the US, Listerine says it kills "99.9% of germs […]". Last summer, in Zürich airport, I could have sworn the bottle said it kills "99.7%". What gives?

@cszhu If you are doing a demo because you think people won't believe you unless they see it running in real time, I think you have bigger problems.

@cszhu Is it too flippant to say "don't demo" (unless your backup fails). I so rarely see live demos exceed that of a speaker talking over a prerecorded video that I normally recommend people not to do it.

ok folks... but how many of you had the awful experience of a coding demo not working DURING THE LIVE PRESENTATION (but it was working just fine last night?!) 🥲🥲 and how do you handle that lol

@nick_s_drew @jagregory The "bounds" part seems crucial: if the bounds is a deployable and you're microservicing, you could have ALL the bronze ages (one per island). I'm not sure that's better, unless there are roughly as many teams as services.

@jagregory @andee_marks I guess i don’t want multiple ways of doing things within some bounds. Archaelogical stata is a thing. So i can have both Celtic bronze age, and Roman bronze Age on the same island, but not intermixed willy nilly, but regionally seperated.

From "A Philosophy of Software Design" by @JohnOusterhout, in the chapter about consistency... "The value of consistency over inconsistency is almost always greater than the value of one approach over another"... What do people think?

@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

@andee_marks Oh tell me more what you are using!!! I started using obsidian but I don’t think I’m using it effectively

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?

#opentowork #layoffs Friends, I too have been laid off. Yes I’ve been here before and know the drill but no I still don’t love it. Now open to senior engineering leadership roles in Melb AU or remote. My portfolio is at theresaneate.net & LI at linkedin.com/in/neatet

@davefarley77 1. Building the wrong thing (or too much of the right thing) 2. Unnecessary handoffs 3. Slow feedback loops, in particular failures in late stages of builds that cannot be replicated locally

Top 3 wastes of time as a developer? 1. 2. 3.

If only I had a dollar for every time I've clashed with an overly officious building manager who loves making bike commuting just that little bit trickier by confiscating the bag of work/cycling clothes I leave near my bike. 4 weeks in new building and today was "that day"
