@vlad_mihalcea "There are only two hard things in Computer Science"...

@nicolas_frankel I went from Jekyll to https://t.co/gc1DowU5tA for a couple of sites and never looked back. Highly recommended.

@simas_ch reviewed several really good PRs on my current project this week but I think my favourite was the one removing about 15 obsolete classes (100'ŝ of lines of code we no longer need to maintain)

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

@starbuxman I remember his Deep Thoughts from Saturday Night Live. My favorite has always been "Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you'll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes'" 😄

Writing tests doesn't reduce project velocity. Skipping tests gives a false impression that you may be making "progress."

However, without validating the business requirements, velocity is meaningless, as it doesn't measure the actual progress but the level of hope.

@simas_ch Missing FileNotFound - https://t.co/UFfmXkM5tE

@nicolas_frankel that took me down memory lane to an old "daily wtf"

https://t.co/UFfmXkM5tE

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

@simas_ch Too many areas which can benefit from software development but not necessarily be beneficial for software developers. One improvement is to bring devs and users closer together (again) rather than (re)introducing several layers of in-betweeners...

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

@maciejwalkowiak @oleg_nenashev @astrodotbuild is worth checking out, if you are changing static site generators. My praises won't fit in a tweet, so will just leave a general recommendation :-D

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

@starbuxman 1 - alt-tabbing just seems more efficient than turning my head....

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

@greg_radzio the lack of an unsubscribe is the first the came to mind...

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

@nicolas_frankel "one assertion per unittest", never heard of it. Sounds like the dark ages of testing. Still, unit tests are only as good as their assertions, so I guess one is better than none.

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

@chris__sev @astrodotbuild Intuitive and very few surprises. I particularly like that it is possible to generate a pure (no js) site if that is what you want and add in client-side js when it is needed. Well-known modern technologies like TypeScript, nice tooling (@code plugin) and so much more.

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

@david_whitney Don't worry, it will pass soon. Before this, it was a short sprint of dubiously informed statements about Pull Requests. Once the amount of "new followers" which can be harvested from these statements has peaked, the loud voices will move on to another topic...

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

@unclebobmartin Very well put. Addressing the last part as
unambiguously and efficient as possible is important. Whether the sales pitch is for drawing your solution or leaving it to AI, it comes down to this. So far text-based specifications (code) have shown great longevity due to this.

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

recently discovered @astrodotbuild and it's absolutely brilliant. First static site has been migrated and Astro turned out to be exactly what I wanted from a static site generator (and more). Everything is so sensible, utilizing modern technologies and leaving me in control

[Jonas Andersen @PrimusAlgo]

@TotherAlistair Isn't that the "beauty" of components? Looking back at the 90's when "Component-Based" was all the rage, there were at least as many definitions as there were authors of books on the subject. One of the books I have lying around somewhere comes close to having one per chapter.
