Ok, I’m thinking of migrating away from twitter. If you’d like to follow me consider adding my blog to your preferred RSS feed of choice.

It’s https://t.co/hzuTQN2zeZ

You can also use https://t.co/B7jCpfVikU to generate an RSS feed on a topic. E.g. software testing

@rchrdbyd @Samsung Looks like you’ve stumbled into the Scunthorpe problem. Where rude words inside of regular words get caught incorrectly by spam filters https://t.co/SB9cdu6iiX

@NikeService I named the run “Interval run with watch - bug” and there is a note attached to that run with these observations.

[Sam Connelly @BugHunterSam]

@NikeService just had a bug on the Nike run app (iOS 16.3.1 app v7.21.0) with watch 9.3.1. Was doing the 25 minute speed run on week 2 of marathon training. Had to pause between interval 6 and 7. Paused on watch. But audio queues weren’t paused and kept going.

@richburroughs Met my accountant at an event. Word of mouth or linkedin search are alternatives. Also just finished studying a financial advice degree, looked for independant advisor (find one who is fee for service and not % of portfolio).

@Tahls How long would your emergency fund last you?

New blog post out, what is quality? https://t.co/PRuolHODHF

It's nice to write something after taking a break. Even if it feels a little rambling.

[Sam Connelly @BugHunterSam]

@CatsOfYore Oh yes, because helping a cat live on average 3 times longer is something to get angry over.

Life expectancy goes from 2-5 years for outdoor cats to 12-18 years for indoors.

I'd be pretty miserable if I got a three times increase in living 🙃 /s.

I want to train for a marathon, but I'm over weight. Does anyone want to train with me?

@Amys_Kapers Usually darker chocolate indicates a higher % of cocoa and less milk solids.

So may cost a little more to produce but it might not be a huge difference texture wise. Lots of different things impact mouth feel and taste of chocolate.

[Sam Connelly @BugHunterSam]

@beyond_code Maybe it’s testing done during initial product development.

But it’s not testing my building inspector does when they are “testing the smoke alarms” to certify a building is maintaining it’s fire safety standards.

[Sam Connelly @BugHunterSam]

We don’t test a fire alarm by setting a fire.

What parts of software testing are still like setting a fire?

When do we over complicate testing when a simpler check could suffice?

@A11y_Ady LI is my main social media. I get more engagement and web traffic from there.

[Sam Connelly @BugHunterSam]

@ReosPositivePOV Shrek.

More AI generated profile pictures.

I don’t know what the top left one was but it made me lol. It’s almost as if the AI forgot about teeth

[Sam Connelly @BugHunterSam]

@EvaWBos I think I prefer; you have to spend a resource to generate value.

Whether it’s time or money, you need to invest something.

But you also don’t need the end goal of making money. The goal could be to engage a community.

[Sam Connelly @BugHunterSam]

how do you get up to speed on a new team?

I reflect on a few things that have helped me, but I'm always open to new ideas, feedback and improvements.

@nelly_sattari Found a github repository of improv video conference games https://t.co/ipYEuTf3to

[Sam Connelly @BugHunterSam]

@nelly_sattari Try some improve games. Like one word/sentence at a time story. Everyone takes turns adding to a story (either in a circle or alphabetical order). https://t.co/A6xKsj7DpG

@Silv_Wren @QueenJacqueTML @D3AD_BTW @RespectfulMemes It’s not ridiculous. We don’t all have the same understanding of words and different cultures will have different meanings.

Your phrasing sounds a little mean. It’s almost as if you are calling them an idiot which isn’t nice.
