A QA engineer walks into a bar. Orders a beer. Orders 0 beers. Orders 99999999999 beers. Orders a lizard. Orders -1 beers. Orders a ueicbksjdhd. First real customer walks in and asks where the bathroom is. The bar bursts into flames, killing everyone.

This is the Facebook playbook: you lure in publishers by promising them a traffic funnel ("post excerpts and links and we'll show them to people, including people who never asked to see them"), and then the rug-pull: "Post everything here, don't link to your own site"
@MarioNawfal Interesting. Our algorithm tries to optimize time spent on X, so links don’t get as much attention, because there is less time spent if people click away. Best thing is to post content in long form on this platform.

Instant and delayed rewards from writing tests may disappear when we write tests last. This means we'll be less likely to write tests. What are these disappearing rewards? Short thread.
Love these AI generated subway maps
In addition to AI, one of my other passions is public transit. My favorite youtuber is @RM_Transit Here are AI generated Subway Maps in the style of famous artists. 1. Vincent van Gogh

Unpopular opinion: Pull requests are a terrible idea in almost all contexts. Focus on finishing things as a team instead of keeping everybody busy. Do code reviews in real-time through pairing or ensembling instead of blocking the flow of work waiting for a pull request review.

finishing Jira tickets is not the goal
Often wondered about using ADRs for all decisions. Blast radius tip is a great idea.
Yeeesssss!! Lowkey obsessed with decision records/ADRs right now. If I were starting a new company (which I *am not,* and *will never*) I would be using these from day one. And not just for technical decisions, either. For any decision with a blast radius of >1 group.
Marcus Williams retweeted
"Hotfix" is just a euphemism for "our regular process is so slow that we can't use it in a situation where we would actually need it most urgently."
Marcus Williams retweeted
One of the oddest agile software development dysfunctions I see so often: same old big upfront solutioning with a delusion of certainty, and then squeezing that solution through Scrum with no feedback, no working product increments, and no retrospection. Like … what’s the point?
Marcus Williams retweeted
A team is not a group of people who share a Jira instance.
Marcus Williams retweeted
There's a comparison between writing maintainable code and playing pool/billiards. If you're bad at shooting pool like I am, you make the easiest shot you can, hit a ball into a pocket, and the cue ball rolls wherever it rolls on the table. 1/7
Marcus Williams retweeted
Committing at least once a day, reduces the blast radius of your changes: if it's good you can build on it more quickly; if it fails you find out and fix it more quickly.
