Spend most days trying to catch my next Elixir high and contemplating the complexities of the BEAM.

I could definitely contribute a chapter to this. https://t.co/yUxLNiFoRf

There's clearly a market opportunity for a blog post (or book tbh) explaining the various reasons why many people can't just quit a bad job.

I got to share this concept with a junior employee at work today. As usual, Sandi said it better than I ever could. https://t.co/rFx0SCUE4v https://t.co/FtQnWQe5jm

The wrong abstraction is far more damaging than no abstraction at all. Waiting trumps guessing every time.

@PaulLamb I have a friend who deeply believes in this. It's been the motivation for his best work. He calls it Spite Driven Development.

@feminstwerewolf I can totally imagine a rich neighborhood where the androids look like black people but no one has a problem with it because "lol androids."

[Dylan Spencer @BarruumRex]

@feminstwerewolf I was more looking for something that actually shows how ok society is with various isms when you put a simple mask on it.

[Dylan Spencer @BarruumRex]

@feminstwerewolf Wait. I've seen that one. Yeah. It's messed up. It's really good commentary on how professional women are treated, but the twist is killer.

[Dylan Spencer @BarruumRex]

@feminstwerewolf I'll add it to my list.

[Dylan Spencer @BarruumRex]

@feminstwerewolf I really want to see stories that use this to make intentional commentary. Instead of just accidentally revealing the writers biases.

[Sarah Mei @sarahmei]

The key to dealing effectively with legacy code is having the patience to wait. Don't make changes before you have enough information.

[Dylan Spencer @BarruumRex]

@cmeik Well written code reads like a well written story. It both delights the reader and perfectly conveys the author's intent.

[Dylan Spencer @BarruumRex]

@cmeik Makes a lot of sense from an industry perspective. Code needs to be written so it can be read and understood by both junior and senior devs.

[Dylan Spencer @BarruumRex]

This is a really interesting concept.

@pragdave seems like a great way to test the implementation instead of the interface.

[EMPEX Conf @empexco]

All speakers are confirmed! We will publish details this week.

[Dylan Spencer @BarruumRex]

@JEG2 sure. I'll just keep my eye out for when an early access version is available. I grabbed @rtfeldman's on it's first day. No regrets.

[Dylan Spencer @BarruumRex]

@JEG2 What is it and where can I get it?

[Joe Armstrong @joeerl]

What do we want?

Eventual consistency

When do we want it?

Now.
