Trying to build something Strange but Wonderful

It took 13 months, but I finally got my Kubernetes PR merged :D

@nateberkopec @mitchellh Makes sense, I did this at a prior company using vagrant and the CTO was a vim expert and loved it. I was just hoping someone had figured out how to make it work with @sublimehq

Just spent 80 minutes on hold with PGE. They say a bug turned off 15k people's power last night, including ours. Power is still out, and no ETA for a fix

Front end software development is:

- real-time (instant load, 60fps)
- distributed, incremental (synchronize remote data as needed)
- asynchronous
- reactive (react to user actions in realtime)

Front end is the hardest kind of dev I do. The folks who do it every day are heroes.

"...defects become exponentially more time consuming to fix as they progress further along the development process."

EXPONENTIALLY. the number i pulled out of my ass only 2x'd as CI/CD time went from minutes to hours to days to weeks. that was optimism!

It's really fun writing an error-wrapping package in Go called 'glitch'. My afternoon is adding glitches everywhere :D

I'm old-fashioned.

I like my CSS seperated from my HTML; my HTML seperated from my JS; my JS separated from my CSS. I like my JS layer only added when I need it, usually progressively. CSS added progressively on top of semantic markup. I don't fight the C in CSS, I embrace it.

yaknow what we need? A TODO emoji.

[Matt Greensmith @mgreensmith]

Welp, I lost my job today (boo), so now I'm in the market for a new role!

10+ years in cloud infra/systems eng/architecture, devtools, code/data pipelines, SRE/ops, etc.

Open to FTE, contract gigs, or C2C consulting. Soft spot for early startups. PDX/remote.

RTs appreciated 💚

[Nate Berkopec @nateberkopec]

Using includes/preload/eager_load in your model is like using a default_scope. Inevitably, you find the case where you don't need it but it's been called anyway. It violates MVC. Use those methods only in controllers!

Hi tech twitter. I got laid off yesterday as a result of the COVID-19 financial fallout. Looking for a mid-level/senior full-stack role in the US (preferably NYC).
Stack: Ruby on Rails, Python, React, Angular, Node.js. If you know anyone hiring, please hit me up. RTs appreciated

[Ben Reynolds @benreynjams]

Well, I found out this morning that I'm being laid off from the Senior Software Engineer role I started 3 weeks ago.

If anyone knows of companies still hiring in this economy please point me in the right direction. My experience is mostly in Ruby. RT for reach please 🙏

@andrewkane So cool, just shared with my team :D

@OdedCoster Emailed zip files in the college days

I feel like the most hipster thing I'm into atm is writing readme files: "You're not into readmes? well maybe they're just not _for_ you, they're for other people"

[Xavier Noria @fxn]

I welcome types, I generally annotate types in my Ruby APIs anyway using YARD notation, my personal motivation is documented contracts, not type safety as such (though welcome too), client code must know what it can pass, and what it gets back, even if expressed as duck typing

Useful list of Postgres tips. I've definitely run into the "NOT IN" case.
