I’ve derived tremendous value from Twitter and have used it daily, though I don’t tweet much. Sadly, I’m deleting the Twitter app after 14 years. I’ll leave my account in case things turn around. But I cannot via my presence support its ownership.

Give this book a coding-related title 👇👇

@WebReflection If you want to preserve the color semantics of your painted wall, it’s best to use AOT compilation of touch-up paint rather than JIT compilation. 😜

Absolute classic, “on the spectrum of abstraction.” Couple this with @richhickey’s “simple made easy” viewpoint of abstraction and a trade offs viewpoint of architecture, @ruthmalan style. (https://t.co/wEjnUxAxo1). Level up for shared code design.

@TwitterSupport so someone sent me a DM years ago and I have no wish to initiate further contact with them. Is there a way that person could NOT be the first option presented when I go to share a tweet? As it has been for years since our last conversation. Years.

@tucker_shaw Really enjoyed seeing this in a coffee / book shop in Katowice Poland.

@shreyas The “tribal leadership” book offers a (kinda cheesy) model to explain this and some (kinda meager) coaching advice on how to get past it. But then, some way forward is better than no way forward? Also, the model can give some (again meager) guidance on assessing this in hiring.

@Carnage4Life Calling a dispatch number and then waiting for a yellow cab, never knowing if or when they would arrive was a horrible experience. Early Uber was just crushingly better than the alternative. And more expensive. And I was happy to pay more. Was that business great? 🤷‍♂️

[Jeff Moore @Selkirk]

@Carnage4Life Pre-Uber when I lived near union square and my boyfriend lived near the ocean, I used to have to routinely lie to yellow cabs about where I was going then change the destination mid-trip because they would refuse to take me otherwise. The bus model is more than the price.

@HeyChelseaTroy This org says “you must carefully grind the seeds with your teeth as you eat.” Guessing they’d have an interest in recommending something less “careful” if they could. https://t.co/E9BoILF7p2

[Jeff Moore @Selkirk]

@KentBeck I’m sure it varies by org, but I’d expect that a manager could have some leeway over what constitutes the proof required to meet the policy and thus some agency regardless of policy

@anaismitchell Ability to be surprised. Ability to focus and have less distraction. There’s a hyper-active awareness of all the bad things in the world now. That time was calmer, more trusting, less selfish. More locally connected, less globally connected.

@swyx Founder vs fireman? Imagine if the role of privilege was accounted for as well.

@Carnage4Life Price of items delivered isn’t necessarily the same as in-store prices. My guess is the delivery customers are the more profitable and less price sensitive ones. I’ve been getting some sort of delivery for over 10 years and use several services. Groceries are a subscription.

@dan_abramov Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid maybe? Programmer gets drunk, accidentally meets and helps dragon, dragon moves into her city apartment to do housework in gratitude, a “found family” is created. You can pause during the work scenes to read the code.

[Jeff Moore @Selkirk]

@rauschma Exactly where I ended up. Everything was straightforward until i wanted to write tests.

[Jeff Moore @Selkirk]

@MrAlanCooper I read this first as “death traps of abstraction,” which I think is a different tweet, but one I’d like to see

[Jeff Moore @Selkirk]

Hiring a PHP Engineer in or around Poland to work on SDKs for realtime use cases. Looking for someone with a experience writing code that other developers use and with a passion for creating a great developer experience. https://t.co/3K6dpThdal
