Crazy event at ORD. Heads up safety move by a ramp worker!
if your PR is more than 4 page scrolls long, its probably fine... ¯\_(approved)_/¯
Jury's out on #nuget, like @mikegore1000 I like to use IL merge and bin folders in source control. Patch files ftw. #softwarecraftsmanship
Fantastic turnout of talent at @asos #HackComp #Hackathon in @TheOldLibrary in @custardfactory. To celebrate this year's #InternationalWomensDay2019 with a focus on #balanceforbetter we're using the power of inclusive teams. So many great ideas. Results tomorrow!

I have a particular disdain for “software architects” who don’t actually program. Building software is very little like building houses. The constant (and fawning) comparisons do us a serious disservice. Software architecture is leading by example, not decrees.

We didn't come close to winning the #asos #hackoween hackerthon but really enjoyed working with our team "50 shades of asos" on our "Shop n Slide" idea. We… instagram.com/p/BpcFIbFhTQYz…

I was in the middle of creating this slide (wrt patch hygiene) and had to stop half-way through and ask myself - aren’t we all just making this worse?
Reasonable; it's always been a wet dream of employers of programmers to standardise how work is done, thereby turning programming into labour. That's rational employer strategy. If you buy into that narrative as an employee, you're working against your own interests.

So... Code examples in API documentation are worth nothing? Code in blog posts are worth nothing? Code examples while teaching people a new programming language are worth nothing? Programming for exercise is worth nothing? R&D code is worth nothing?

Developers new to TDD are afraid to delete tests. Developers who have 100 open tabs open in Chrome and afraid to close them. Both have a reason "we might need it still!". But in the end, usually we don't. #programmer #tdd
Does anyone else want to go back to the days of a lib folder. Nuget promises so much but delivers more pain in my experience.
Another brilliant overnight support shift makes chaos engineering come to the front of my mind again.
