”I thought they were poisoning me. In reality, they were sterilising us. That was when I understood the method of the camps, the strategy being implemented: not to kill us in cold blood, but to make us slowly disappear. So slowly that no one would notice.” https://t.co/UTVCvW8woF

- we should almost never think that the status quo _is_ optimal (and instead pareto-optimal or a local optimum at best) - we should always push our thinking on what we are, or should perhaps be, in fact optimizing for Getting rid of meritocracy optimizes not for meritocrats. https://t.co/ESakt5kQzo

Oh, that's nice! Fresh version of #SoundSource (on MacOS) by @RogueAmoeba ships with _built-in autoeq tuning for headphones_. Highly recommended for audio enthusiasts. https://t.co/2z21SCni1l

I became a web developer to be able to claim a Q bot for a channel on Quakenet. It’s an IRC network that provided bots, given you could verify yourself. Imagine if your WhatsApp group could face hostile takeover at any time, and you needed virtual bodyguards to prevent that. https://t.co/b8JXTJVsx8

”It is in software development’s nature to be basically problem-solving under deadlines: we cannot avoid problem-solving in software development. However, developers feel bad when they are stuck and under pressure, and several detrimental consequences _do_ happen.” https://t.co/geHSkZDhat

5/5 What’s the synthesis? I have little idea. How do you people prefer to arrange your team’s development flow? Do you also work in that preferred way in everyday practice? What are the core qualities you need to work effectively? Is integrating work still a challenge? 🤔

4/n Short-lived branches Self-contained, reviewable, as-small-as-reasonable, async work increments. This is how I’ve learned to work, how I personally define the ”continuous” part of CI in practice. This goes against the multiple lanes argument and I can’t see how to reconcile.

3/n Trunk-based development Everyone pushes to main. Integration is continuous because everyone’s ongoing work is cross-checked with everyone else’s. This is so far from the practices I know how to apply that I have no idea… What about reviews? Rebasing? How does this work?

2/n Mobbing Don’t have developers working on their own. Everything’s done together, so there’s no divergence and integration is continuous because the whole point is moot. I haven’t worked in an environment where I would find it feasible to push for this. Not sure if it works.

I have to admit I’m out of touch with this mindset. You’re probably right, Jason, but what do you mean, really? What is it you see being done, that you find objectionable? What is the option you would recommend? Are any of these guesses close? I’d like to update my views. 1/n https://t.co/3qZ6xIendF

Some delicious quotes that I’m feeling: I had no idea how to build apps before I learned TDD All software development is composition TDD eradicates fear of change Without that fear, the development cadence runs a lot smoother https://t.co/5yR3DXvzjm

This may sound weird, but how about if you reframe that as SDD sanity driven development ie. ”let’s do things the sane way this time around so I can still have a development career in a few years instead of burnout and early retirement” Any takers? https://t.co/7igWzpsCqD
