@rrtower88 @carrnundrum It appears to be Starlink.

[John MacIntyre @JohnMacIntyre]

@rrtower88 @carrnundrum I saw it too. Very strange.

Even as a developer I’m struggling to figure out the password rules

@HeavyMetalShip @engineers_feed Assuming you have the means to cover the emergency, yes, but given most people get a mortgage, its a good bet they don't have the savings to replace thier house if it burns down.

@engineers_feed Two books:

1. How to Lie with Statistics shows how numbers are used to support biased (and wrong) information https://t.co/4K9A4WXG98

2. The Dictator's Handbook helped me understand politics better. https://t.co/7ErIazzul9

@DonJRobertson I don't know if he `invented` anything, and I'm not fan, but he has added value. I mean, the concept of re-usable rockets aren't exactly new, but he's the only one who's pushed the envelope and actually made it happen. Same with electric cars.

@davidfowl I've always interpreted `cloud native` as binding directly to PAAS services.

[John MacIntyre @JohnMacIntyre]

@rupali_codes 25.

[John MacIntyre @JohnMacIntyre]

@alexboly Seems like something you can do by piping a few power shell commands together, starting with 'Import-csv'.

@TreciaKS My initial reaction is you haven't been around long enough, but even after decades seeing horrible enterprise software, nothing approaches the ridiculousness of government. https://t.co/WRczFjQ83R

[John MacIntyre @JohnMacIntyre]

Gov: I want the experience to be exactly the same as if they walked into one of our offices to register their car.
Dev: Exactly?
Gov: Exactly

@realmaddox Security footage. ;-)

@scottgal I have a skills matrix on the front page of my resume. Laundry list of relevant skills, how long I used it, last use, & other misc. details. It's received a lot of compliments, but as you can imagine, you'll have to cut a lot of stuff.

@CaseyNewton @platformer Starting to suspect this is some kind of “Brewster’s Millions” situation where he secretly has only 30 days to lose all $44 billion dollars

[John MacIntyre @JohnMacIntyre]

@Darcy_Lussier The I in my last name keeps getting reset to lowercase, but I feel like I'm betraying my ancestors if I let it stay that way. :-)

@engineers_feed Chromecast, easy. The ability to throw Youtube, Pluralsight, Wondrium, or whatever other video I come across up to my TV and sit in my living room to watch it ... awesome.

[John MacIntyre @JohnMacIntyre]

@wesyang I prefer Reverse Osmosis water (i.e. Dasani, Aquafina). Artisan is also good, but $$$ (i.e. Fiji). I'll take tap (if possible), over spring or distilled. Understanding the types of bottled water really clarified things for me.

ArriveCAN Budget:

- $100,000 for app development
- $53,900,000 for fake App Store reviews

[Alistair Croll @acroll]

Yes, ArriveCAN cost a lot of money. Way too much.

(It was a pandemic.)

Going way over budget happens all the time in enterprise. It’s often the developers’ fault. It even happens outside global public health emergencies, believe it or not.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

The machines are already writing the code. Those machines are called compilers.

We, programmers, simply specify the solution in sufficient detail so that the machines can write the code.

Specifying the solution in sufficient detail will _always_ be a human endeavor.

@AP Its probably safe to consider any male over the age of 14 (?) at the time is a vet, isn't it?
