I realized this morning that this week marks 15 years since @jezhumble, @tastapod and I introduced The Deployment Production Line to the world! They're called Build Pipelines these days, but a rose by any other name...

I thought Dune 2 was the best movie of 2024 until I watched this masterpiece (sound on).

Allow me to be more helpful to @SlackHQ customers than their entire support apparatus:

Hana is one of the smartest people I've ever met. Her code is legendary, who else would have made regexes work at compile time? If you need tough problems solved with great attention to detail and code quality; hire Hana!

In addition to the excellent content, the thing I love most about the talk @Penguin just gave at @devopsdaysChi is the fact that he’s an American that knows that the plural of LEGO is LEGO…
…and the fact that the saddest README just says “TODO”

It's planned and plotted and if there wasn't a Writers Strike on I'd be writing it right now. Ways to help make Good Omens Season 3 happen are A) watch Season 2, B) get people who know nothing of Good Omens to start watching S1, and C) encourage the studios to negotiate with WGA.
29 Jul 2023
There's hope for a season 3?

RIP Gordon Moore -- a true giant and visionary. If you haven't read it, his 1965 paper (which, it must be said, does not in fact coin Moore's Law!) remains extraordinary and merits a full read. My talk on Moore's work from 2019: youtube.com/watch?v=TM9h89Vo…

I just hard flunked someone on a tech screening interview.
them: OK let's get this over with, I'm a big deal in this sector of the biz. I know this stuff.
me: um, we're screening tech, but I want to let you know I'll report tone and stuff too

A brilliant explanation from Dave.
It's a kind but firm correction of the most common misunderstanding of BDD.
19 Dec 2022
BDD is more than just testing, it is a way to organise software development to better communicate what it is that we are all doing.
💡 So how do we successfully get it to work for us? Let's see ➡️ youtu.be/gXh0iUt4TXA

I worked with a team for a few weeks.
People built using TDD or very tight test-after.
It was all trunk-based with continuous deployment.
They formed up squads/swarms/groups as needed to get work done.
They turned around improvements in a day usually.

Frustrated to be waking your kids up in the dark? Your semi-annual reminder that the moronic notion of "making daylight saving time permanent" would mean that the sun would rise at 8:21 on December 21st in San Francisco -- and 8:55 in Seattle! reuters.com/world/us/us-sena…
