If a key is pressed but nobody hears it, did it really happen? :o) I miss my original Model M. We had a good 20 years together…
A do wish they would stop realigning the GPS satellites while I’m trying to exercise…
Luckily I only have to go into my games room to see one :o). (Pilot Wings is still awesome.)
As I have Spain in the family sweepstake it seemed appropriate to make a giant paella on the fire pit for dinner 😋.
Choose pair programming Choose energised work Choose test-driven development Choose short iterations and frequent releases Choose continuous integration Choose refactoring the code to keep the design simple and malleable Choose your future. Choose XP.
Even now, when I go on holiday, I take my trusty Gameboy and my Game & Watch cart (and Tetris DX) for some real old skool gaming kicks :o).
I find it ironic that the room hosting a conference about AI should have a door fitted in an inaccessible location :o). #AINativeDevCon #TheBrewery
Back in the 1980’s our school was a very early adopter of the private cloud — we had an entire network of RM Nimbus PCs…
Is this how you run a company on a four day week - spread the last day in the background between Monday and Thursday…
Was wondering where I’d seen the host from #Eurovisión before — it’s Marina from Stingray :o).
This is my “beers of Europe” contribution for tonight’s #Eurovisión 💪. I think we have Euro-snacks too, but that’s not my department :o).
The publisher of this jigsaw clearly isn’t well versed in Cockney Rhyming Slang :o).
The Sneetches by Dr Seuss is a great analogy for the current state of AI where Anthropic & OpenAI take the role of Sylvester McMonkey McBean as they sell you one model to create code, but a different one to review its output, and yet another to assess for security flaws…
I got an unexpected delivery from this courier, but to send it back they said I had to use their sister company Carriage Return…
I often see these things at the start of roadworks. Do they push them to close the road?
Wondering if I’ll be able to use this to help convince my teenagers to clean their rooms :o).
Come on BlueSky, I know the puns are bad, but people should get to choose for themselves what they’re subjected to…
How it started vs How it’s going 10 years on Strava. I took up running 9 months earlier and decided to follow people from the local running club on Strava just to find some new routes as I was bored of the same old paths 🙂.
Uncle Bob references this a couple of times in Clean Architecture. I picked this up second hand for just £5 (inc. delivery).
Uncle Bob mentioned the term “Central Transform” in a footnote in his Clean Architecture book and now I feel the need to enter that rabbit hole and read the source material… (IMHO this book from ‘88 still has the best description of the various forms of coupling.)
Blimey, double digit notifications isn’t something I’ve experienced since the halcyon days of Twitter :o).
Watching devs suddenly discover that the ability to write was important all along...
