I get so sick of people saying "nobody would hire you to build a house without an estimate." Even if house-building projects met the estimate (more often than not, they don't), there are literally no parallels. 1/4

@Cennydavidsson @alannac111 @allenholub Oh I’ve had great success without estimates however it’s a rare company that doesn’t want them. Would you let someone build you a house without estimates?

I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter.
So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out)

@alexander_bird I really like this sentiment, I have often referred to it as "bring the pain forward". One of my mentors said this early on in my career and I have not forgotten.
English
The bottom line is this: if you make yourself really experience the pain that you're trying to resolve -- feel it deeply and for long enough that it impacts you personally -- then you're primed to make really good product decisions in how you resolve the pain.
English
One great way to design a new user experience or developer tool is to do the manual work that the tool will replace for long enough that you are seriously frustrated and bored. This may mean days or weeks.
English
@alexander_bird Using data generators are also really great for finding flakey tests. Sometimes things get through still, but another layer of defence.
English
On the other hand, if you write the tests while you write the production code, you tend to run the tests more often. This increases your odds of hitting the 1/20 or 1/100 problems with your test. You make them more robust while you work, so they don't bung up your build pipeline.
English
One problem with writing the tests last is that you execute them only a handful of times and then you're done with them. If there's something flaky about them that fails 1/20 times, odds are you won't find it until it blocks your build pipeline in a few weeks.

@konradkokosa Very interested in your Pro .net memory management book. Performance has become an obsession of mine and I used many of your tips in my last job to great effect.

@thissushiguy Have you used svelte? I found it quite easy to use. I really liked the compile down to vanilla js.

@StachuDotNet @PaulFWatts I thought the C# updates were trending in a more FP direction. Better match, records. What has been your impression?
