Javascript is light years ahead of every other programming language.

12 people have been to the moon and only 8 people have won Takeshis castle. Really makes you think

David Attenborough is now narrating my life Here's a GPT-4-vision + @elevenlabsio python script so you can star in your own Planet Earth:

Sometimes I write a TODO comment when we are waiting for a library to release a new version to fix a workaround or patch But even better is a test that will fail when you've upgraded the library so you remember to go back

Should be JIT not JIY in first tweet *

Block in progress work (we have blocked by Us and blocked by 3rd party columns) or try and do both tasks, breaking WIP limit. One idea would be to have smaller WIP limit of many cards are blocked in this way. Any other ideas? #kanban #agile

As tickets can become unblocked at any point, and often then falls behind work we’ve started even though it’s already committed too. Other work that doesn’t involve suppliers is fine and has decent cycle time. Often this leads to high WIP as feel obligated to either 2/3

High WIP / Kanban strategy q: working in a team where we work with many 3rd party suppliers, tasks often involve investigating our side, submitting a ticket to them, waiting 2-3 weeks for a resolution, then picking up the work again. Makes even JIY pull based priority tricky 1/2

Do I know any other programmers who have special needs kids in the UK? I’d like to chat with you. I think there’s good that can be done in this space. Retweets appreciated 🙏

"It's called Kubernetes, and Joe, get this, it'll fix basically all of our problems. I haven't dealt with it myself, but I did read about it in CIO magazine and immediately told all our developers to start migrating. Apparently you just give it a container and it handles

Working at startup is basically like “the eng team uses Github, product is transitioning from Notion to Confluence but some things are still in Google Docs, marketing likes a mix of Asana and Clickup, but make sure to keep Airtable updated. Do NOT use Evernote without approval

Some argue you cannot know cost of delay, so why focus on it? This ignores that costly decisions are already being made based on guesses about value, typically using assumptions no one is even trying to surface and derisk. https://t.co/v1ix0Uhh2Q

Such extreme standardisation - of time, distance, and everything else - became necessary in an increasingly globalised and industrial world. Whereas every town once kept its own time, the rise of railways forced the introduction of time zones to prevent total transport chaos.

@bryanl How do you go about not sounding condescending for points that are obvious oversights or mistakes? Or is there an expectation that the code is flawless before it’s PR’d?

Maybe I’m wrong with this, but feel like generating docs with AI won’t be actually a net benefit. 1) I view writing as a form of thinking, using AI to write will skip the thinking 2) Docs without thinking might be just garbage and shouldn’t to written or read anyway

I mean, it’s one twitter API request, Michael. How much could it cost, $10?

I was taking a look at some #scrum team #storypoint data today while making the case for tracking cycle time and other #flow #metrics, and decided 2 look at the correlation coefficient between cycle time and story points; it was -0.07 for the last 100 work items #agile
