It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 16 years, since 18 Apr 2007 (via @twi_age).

[John Bailey @baileyje]

@schutz @twi_age And posted less than once a year?

[John Bailey @baileyje]

@jtgreene I had the same question and thoughts.

[John Bailey @baileyje]

I was this many years old when I really connected with Elixir. Hopefully my obsessive nature doesn’t destroy my weekend.

@MelkeyDev Bulk coffee on desk is key. Tell me the origin of that coffee to really kick up the envy?

[John Bailey @baileyje]

@Mad_Ryan Always have it on hand.

[John Bailey @baileyje]

@Mad_Ryan That beer can get you where you need to be. Maybe further.

@craigbox I just recall hearing someone call it a data swamp and haven’t been able to refer to it as anything else since.

Am I the only one that thinks the ball they are using for march madness this year looks like something a kid drew? Just a gross unnatural orange color.

@_JamesWard Extremely performant and reliable multiplayer game networking.

@b0rk I think an amazing course would be one that builds up as it goes. TCP with a nice socket library. Then build something like an HTTP server protocol on it. Then TLS. Then websocket as a stretch goal. Learn to build your own library’s stack as you go.

[John Bailey @baileyje]

@b0rk We did TCP implemented via UDP. We also implemented FTP client/server. But there are several more that would be great learning to demystify things. I recently implemented TLS 1.3 (single cipher suite) and it improved my understanding of something we critically rely on every day.

@headius @gregyoung I was taught in a program that moved through a lot of diff language paradigms between courses. Even if you aren’t going to be in a primarily functional environment, there are principles that carry weight. Like learning manual memory mgmt thinking before switching to GC envs.

Vacation reminds me how painfully abandoned my game engine side project must feel. Need to get busy with other things to help hide the guilt.

[John Bailey @baileyje]

@ConcernedApe You’re an inspiration.

[John Bailey @baileyje]

@housecor The struggle.

[John Bailey @baileyje]

@jtgreene pretty bummed I missed out on earning a sweet Quarkus shirt.

[John Bailey @baileyje]

@ssh4un Is there an option really reallly really really heart a tweet?

[John Bailey @baileyje]

All the Wordle folks out there. Do y’all pick the same stating word every time? I for sure do and can’t think of any strategy that would lead to changing it.
