Oh my god someone posted to Reddit they just bought a hard drive and it’s making grinding sounds.

ICYMI - The Cloudcast - DevOps Automated Governance
bit.ly/cloudcast-759
Mike Long (@meekrosoft, CEO @_kosli) talks about the challenges of enabling Governance and Compliance into DevOps teams and processes.
Folks who have a LOT of automated tests for your app(s). Do you actively do anything to reduce the number of tests you have? Do you identify duplication / different tests that test the same functionality? If so, do you use this information to reactor/reduce your tests?
I often think code-and-fix is like playing the lottery. Lots of little investments, over a long time, very occasionally you get a big win.
TDD is like scratch cards. Lots of small investments over and over, but you get a small win pretty regularly.
The best use of chat GPT I’ve seen so far:

Can’t understand a company website? This will figure it out for you.
Exasperated by the website? It’ll also take the piss out of it.
What #OpenSource projects are known for being 💖 to new contributors?
Which would you recommend to someone who's new to open source and needs a supportive community to get started?

One of my favourite conferences is back - @SoCraTes_UK - #openspace residential makes for such a great experience. Hang out with other folks interested in the craft of software and testing, make the conference you want. Very recommended. socratesuk.org/
Great case study of a team moving away from pull requests to using TDD and ensembling.
I love to work like this, and you can mattwynne.net/hire-me if you'd like me to share that love with your team!
Excellent blog post on Trunk Based Development in preference to Feature Branching here:
"When you have a team, or teams, however, working on a project together, feature branching creates problems"
