In 1975 @NASA released their graphics standards manual. The design thinking was decades ahead of its time. I loved it so much I decided to rebuild it for the web.

A bug is an indication of a missing test.
When a bug surfaces, your first response should be to create a failing test that will pass once the bug is fixed.

Is there a single reason to ever use ES6 classes in JavaScript? Closures feel so much more lightweight and simpler.

This isn't a software problem. The issue is that our industry acts as though UI design isn't a technical exercise.

Most engineers need to satisfy regulations and codes when building houses, aircrafts etc. I wish we had something similar for building software that impacts peoples lives. Things like the digital service standard are a start dta.gov.au/help-and-advice/a…

I wonder how different federal IT would look if entities like IGs, GAO, and Congress asked questions like:
- How do you do deployments?
- Did you consider a REST API?
- What do you do for version control?
- do you practice TDD?
- What APM tool do you use?

Does anyone else feel that they basically lucked into a high paying career because their interests randomly aligned with scarcity and a rapidly growing field, and that it's nowhere near as hard, or as societally valuable as what teachers, medical professionals and care-givers do?
