That voice though. Imagine being his parents, he hits puberty and he’s like “HI MOM, HI DAD” and you’d be thinking “He has the voice of a giant fallen warrior wizard” #RIPJamesEarlJones

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

@FDataAnalysis @Charles_Leclerc @ScuderiaFerrari @McLarenF1 @LandoNorris @LewisHamilton @alo_oficial Loving your work. The best F1 account on Twitter/X. McLaren/Norris must be kicking themselves…

@FriendlyTester I worked with you a long time ago (2010?) and we did some good work. Now I rarely meet a tester that doesn’t know you, or benefited from what you’ve done at MoT. You’re the living embodiment of the growth mindset and it’s great to see what you do, and where you go next.

Please make it stop.

@shanselman I had a similar problem when my ancient Boston 2.1 setup broke. Went with Bose soundlink as a stopgap but have kept it as a permanent solution.

It would be really nice if politicians could stop banging on about their daughters when they celebrate the England team https://t.co/aPBci6Ih1L

@youngvulgarian Maybe “undisclosed sum” - so much more, if it is left to the imagination.

@Frances_Coppola Hope it goes well. Might be worth considering speech recognition, either software (e.g. MS Word) or built in to your phone/tablet. It’s not for everyone, but it might be useful to have something else to try.

[Ross Shonfeld @Melbourne720]

@rosamundmtaylor @OhGodWhatNowPod @IanDunt @Dorianlynskey @pimlicat @sturdyAlex To explain- I wouldn’t have specifically considered the popularity of the phase “Brexit”, but when you explain it makes total sense.

[Ross Shonfeld @Melbourne720]

@rosamundmtaylor @OhGodWhatNowPod @IanDunt @Dorianlynskey @pimlicat @sturdyAlex Apologies - definitely a compliment!

[Ross Shonfeld @Melbourne720]

@OhGodWhatNowPod @Dorianlynskey @sturdyAlex @pimlicat @rosamundmtaylor @IanDunt What a brilliant episode, genuinely touching. Thanks also for putting so much thought into my question. Will @IanDunt now move to Seattle and start a radio show?

[Ross Shonfeld @Melbourne720]

@adeherb Love it
