🗳 I was curious to see whether there might be a correlation between town ratings in France and the political affiliation of their mayor. I wrote a couple of scripts to help explore the data! https://t.co/f0OPNB1iyk

How can you make complex profiling data easier to understand? By using intuitive visualisations! Discover the work my colleague Greg Hurrell and I have done on this topic in our latest blog.

[Datadog, Inc. @datadoghq]

Profiling data, while invaluable, can be hard for novices to interpret. To address this problem and make it easy to gain insights into application performance, we’ve made some exciting changes to our Continuous Profiler visualizations. Learn more: https://t.co/0C3tfNnUsM

Some insights into how my team has been making profiling visualisations more user-friendly at @datadoghq!

[Felix Geisendörfer @felixge]

My colleague @_Pyves just published a blog post about the source code preview features of our continuous profiler 🎉.

One cool UX detail is how we show source code in the default view where we group by function rather than by line.

Some exciting new https://t.co/djrcuA1ZX3 badges are available to get the state of check runs on GitHub branches, commits, and tags! Thanks to @marcfbe for his contribution! 🙏

@LloydW93 Are you talking about that Robin Hood service of yours?

[Pierre-Yves Bigourdan @_Pyves]

@ejber1 Well, @dbenamy recently shared a picture of a croissant stuffed with Oreos, and claimed he had invented pains au chocolat. Not sure which is worse.

[Felix Geisendörfer @felixge]

A new @datadoghq feature my team and I have worked on has officially gone live (public beta) now:

Watchdog Insights for Continuous Profiler 🎉

The idea is to automate some of the problem analysis and solution proposal a profiling expert on your team might provide.

@vogella @gaparv One problem is that we're mixing monochrome/flat-style icons, with more stylised/layered ones. The inconsistency looks somewhat weird.

[Pierre-Yves Bigourdan @_Pyves]

@gaparv @EclipseJavaIDE Do publish it on the Marketplace once it's ready! ;)

@vogella @YattaSolutions @EclipseJavaIDE They reached out to plugin owners a few weeks ago to gather feedback and ideas on a revamped marketplace. They're definitely thinking about it.

[Pierre-Yves Bigourdan @_Pyves]

@RobMcInnes @AnDyVbAtEs Escargots are good, would definitely recommend trying them! Hit me up next time you're in Paris, I'll send a couple of addresses your way!

@PrismaMedia je viens d'appeler votre service client pour un soucis de livraison d'un magazine. Votre collaborateur était au top, aimable, efficace et très professionnel. Peut-on faire remonter mon retour jusqu'aux personnes concernées ? :)

[Pierre-Yves Bigourdan @_Pyves]

@vogella @maciejwalkowiak @EclipseJavaIDE I intentionally didn't mention the project to avoid public shaming, but no, it isn't Eclipse. I've not actually contributed anything to the main IDE projects for quite a while, though I have worked on lsp4e and a few third-party plugins.

[Pierre-Yves Bigourdan @_Pyves]

@nromanetti @BriceDutheil @datadoghq He is!

[Vlad Mihalcea @vlad_mihalcea]

17 years of software development taught me three very important lessons;

1️⃣ Unit and integration tests are the best way to prevent bugs.
2️⃣ Keep it simple! Remove anything that's not strictly required.
3️⃣ Question everything! From requirements to cargo cult tech trends.

[Pierre-Yves Bigourdan @_Pyves]

@richardstartin The one about using wrappers for composite HashMap keys is interesting, I would have intuitively thought the opposite!

[Pierre-Yves Bigourdan @_Pyves]

@gaparv Bug 529316 and Bug 427897 would be quite valuable in my opinion. The debug perspective is also quite slow in my opinion, when you have a high screen resolution, the Variables view and others are not very responsive.

[Pierre-Yves Bigourdan @_Pyves]

@fbricon The "Run | Debug" actions above the main method?
