Developer accused of unreadable code refuses to comment

[Tom Preston-Werner @mojombo]

I don't have a CS degree...or any degree. Some of our best engineers at GitHub never even graduated high school. But also, some of them had a BS, masters, or PhD in CS. Amazing programmers come from all backgrounds. Using formal education as a hiring filter is nonsense.

84 years young today! Wishing a very happy birthday to the incomparable computer scientist Margaret H. Hamilton. 🎂

Remember not to compare yourself to other developers, especially on social media, youtube, etc. You are seeing the best of them. You don't see their struggles, however you do see all of your own

#Software is never done. There is always technical debt, there are always more features. There's always learning. Work in small batches, adjust, improve, repeat. That's working #agile.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. #WednesdayWisdom

Ok @Nandi_Bushell....Round 2! Every superhero needs a theme song. Here’s one for you! Mad props to The Grohlettes for the background vocals.

An increasingly powerful Laura is continuing to track toward Southwestern Louisiana. Given this high confidence track, we now believe power outages will be the biggest issue for the Houston metro area. In a new post we make some guesses at how bad.

We'd announce that we're stopping too, but we never started turning over user data to HK police. Also, we don't have user data to turn over.

I will let out a bit of a secret.

I have been running a full IBM System/370 Mainframe on a $5 Raspberry Pi Zero for ~5 years.

About 7 times faster System/370.

Millions of lines of COBOL JCLs running flawless on a battery.

Tested an entire bank’s mainframe COBOL on it.

Social distancing means avoiding large gatherings and maintaining distance (6 ft) from others. While we're at it, remember to keep it at least 300 ft for larger wildlife.

Check park websites for the most up to date information regarding access and services.

[Alexander Nazaryan @alexnazaryan]

When he was in midst of the fight against HIV/AIDS, Dr. Fauci was known to run 7 miles daily.

I just asked him if he still keeps to that exercise regimen.

No, he says, noting that he is working 19 hour days to fight the coronavirus.

He is down to 3.5 miles -- at the age of 79.

IF (which is a big if) the three EU countries manage like China to plateau the newly confirmed cases, plateau will be reached in Italy in ~30 days and in Germany and France in around 40 days.

[Andy Biotech @AndyBiotech]

In case it's still not obvious to some #justtheflu bros, the biggest concern for #COVID19 is probably not the fatality rate, it is how quickly a flood of new severe cases could completely overwhelm our healthcare system, as what has happened in Wuhan, Daegu and Lombardy now. /1
