Anyone think @FiveGuysUK @FiveGuys is the most overrated takeaway ever? Keep thinking I'm missing something -> ~£15 for a more disappointing version of a @McDonalds meal. #JurysOut

Jury's out on #nuget, like @mikegore1000 I like to use IL merge and bin folders in source control. Patch files ftw. #softwarecraftsmanship

I have a particular disdain for “software architects” who don’t actually program. Building software is very little like building houses. The constant (and fawning) comparisons do us a serious disservice. Software architecture is leading by example, not decrees.

Nonsense. That is like saying : "An architect should start his work shoveling the floor and putting the first bricks". No, he should not.

I was in the middle of creating this slide (wrt patch hygiene) and had to stop half-way through and ask myself - aren’t we all just making this worse?

Reasonable; it's always been a wet dream of employers of programmers to standardise how work is done, thereby turning programming into labour. That's rational employer strategy.
If you buy into that narrative as an employee, you're working against your own interests. x.com/JeremyCaney/status/949…

Speculation: This is driven by the increased availability of sophisticated frameworks with prescriptive architectures, allowing some developers’ work to be driven primarily by production requirements without having to “worry” as much about the intellectual challenges of software.

So...
Code examples in API documentation are worth nothing?
Code in blog posts are worth nothing?
Code examples while teaching people a new programming language are worth nothing?
Programming for exercise is worth nothing?
R&D code is worth nothing? x.com/mipsytipsy/status/9492…

repeat after me
Code not shipped is dead code
Code not shipped doesn’t exist
Code sans prod is just a toy
Code without users isn’t real
Code with test data hasn’t been tested
Code without net doesn’t matter
Code without prod is worth zero fucks

Does anyone else want to go back to the days of a lib folder. Nuget promises so much but delivers more pain in my experience.

I want to love Sonar Lint but it's proving difficult for various reasons. 😕
