#COVID19 The reality is that we are sailing in uncharted waters. There is still a great deal about the epidemiology of the virus that is unknown. It is better to err on the side of caution than to pay the devastating price of a lapse in judgment in future. bit.ly/2W0mXHN

Dear political parties. Please remember, software is hard. If you need it to be right, don’t skimp. And make sure you start very early. Software can’t be rushed. Next time find a competent, disciplined, and experienced team who diligently write tests.

At last! I've always said it isn't coffee. Ricoffy is closer to paintstripper. It at least gets rid of weird feeling in your mouth at 4am.
South Africa has new draft rules about hot drinks, and Ricoffy, Frisco, and Koffiehuis are definitely not coffee – not even nearly | @BISouthAfrica
