In 1999, a little book by @KentBeck started explaining Extreme Programming (XP) to the masses.
23 years later, it's still true to every word.
But we, the developers, chose to ignore half of its learnings.
In this thread 🧵I'll fix that for you. 👇👇👇
"How can I hire a more diverse engineering team?" If you're not asking this question: you should.
Engineering leaders @sarahjwells, @samueldotme, @_francied, @umachingunde, @colinhowe & @thegigabits offered their advice.
A must-read for anyone hiring:

@slaveoftime1@dsymetweets I'll have to check if using PortaCode has different tradeoffs from what Elmish HotReload is doing with FscWatch then. Thank you and good luck with the implementation!
@substack Someone is creating lots of similarly named things and spamming me by e-mail. Unsubscribing didn't work, deleting my Substack account (that I don't use anyway) didn't work. Where can I report this abuse and stop it? Considering blocking the entire Substack domain now
I had an old stack of HDDs that I wanted to investigate and thoroughly clean. Can highly recommend to use a USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE adapter (with power, https://t.co/SxEJlXR8vW) and Disk Genius (https://t.co/TvObXdEgsS).

Want to get rid of #podcasts in your @Spotify desktop UI or make other adjustments? Spicetify (https://t.co/2bgNJgV9Lt) and the Hide Podcasts extension (https://t.co/ej2Sd7hZvU) do a wonderful job!
If you have an out-of-warranty @Kobo Glo HD and your screen is frozen: Try to gently take off the back cover and very carefully disconnect the battery cable, wait a bit and connect it again. Give it a full charge and it might be ready to go!
@NVIDIAGFN Interesting, I totally understand!
I would love to read a technical write-up about that some time! Do you have any public resources about how the service works from a technical perspective?
So I have something to read while waiting.. ;)
My PC is boring now (which is a good thing!), I have 1TB of free SSD space and no shady kernel drivers or software dependencies anymore.
What changed? I am moving all my gaming activities to the cloud!
Trying out a combination of @NVIDIAGFN and @XboxGamePass.

Installed Windows 11 again but it is just not efficient without Start11 (https://t.co/y9qd7WzNO0), Explorer Patcher (https://t.co/JLAnqxpCav) and 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (https://t.co/RE2w16oZCa).
I want groups in my Start menu and ungrouped labels in the taskbar.

@saam_codes That is definitely F# for me since a year or so. It felt the same as jumping from https://t.co/gtL16B0UNc to C#. Sometimes scary because I feel Microsoft isn't taking it seriously enough.
It is not unusual for our employees to embark on new challenges and return to Trustbit. This time is exceptional. Sebastian Burgstaller @seburgi was the very first employee of Trustbit. We are excited to welcome him back to the company as our CTO! 🤩🎉
