"There are 4 questions, each worth 1 point, you need to score 80% or more to pass"... 🤔 Did someone think this through?

@DivineOps For me, it's along the lines of "[treat your] Infrastructure as [you treat your] Code. So: source control, tests, docs, peer reviews, refactor, design patterns, CI, etc. Whatever's appropriate. However, even in 2021, some orgs don't do these things with their prod SW code! 😅

@KimCrayton1 I found slow classical music with no vocals helped me, along with physically removing distractions/temptations, and setting mini-goals/objectives that I could rewards myself with tea and coffee breaks. Good luck 🙂

[Ben Moss @PassionForPie]

@KimCrayton1 Gotta be in the right mood. Recognise what factors help/hinder you achieving that, and don't be too hard on yourself when you don't get there some days - it's OK. I was lucky enough to be a pre-social media era doctorate. Doubt I'd cope with the internet of today!

@patkua Cassette-based storage for those of us who were coding and gaming in the 1980s. No longer like that hit single you bought last month? Just record over it with 5000 lines of code (a text adventure game) 😂

@bitfield That last paragraph is so well put John - I've seen that challenge often and in so many contexts. Thanks for taking the time to write those up and share them 🙂

As a full-time Go teacher and writer, I aim to help students to write clearer, better, and more useful Go programs. I've found that a lot of the advice I give them can be reduced to a fairly small set of general principles, and here they are: https://t.co/mkzZgzXJYx

@mattstratton @patrickdebois Built a self-service system for Marketing to test web content in staging for internal review before they release it live. Also built a system for HR to check the onboarding/offboarding status of employees across a range of SaaS tools we use without HR needing access to them
