People, there are better #TwoFactorAuthentication methods that still don't require a subscription. Twitter is nudging users to upgrade to 2FA methods that are: 1) More secure than SMS, 2) Still free for users without a subscription, and 3) Cheaper for Twitter.

I'm continually amazed at the unintentional talent of people who can write massive hacky tests that pass CI twice, then fail continuously once merged.

The evolution of an error message:
* No error message
* A one-line message
* "Expected: β¦ / Actual: β¦"
* "Here's what went wrong: β¦"
* "Here's what you should do: β¦"
* I automated away what you should do
* The invalid state is no longer representable

Next time I look at a system and say, βwhy do they do it that way? Thatβs so stupid!β
may I remember
that I am the cat.
