Typically, you need a test to tell you that your code works (or doesn't), not that the database server works. Why then bring the database server into the test at all? I'm willing to concede that MariaDB works—don't need to be testing it all the time.

Most people suck at giving feedback.

Here’s a framework for feedback that creates behavior change:

The 8 traditional Lean Muda (waste) all apply to software. Using the DOWNTIME memorific:

• Defects (of all sorts, bugs, UX, software not doing anything useful)

• Overproduction (futureproofing, writing more code than you need) 1/3

Intentan volver a juntar mascotas que van a apareciendo con sus dueños.
Y si no eres de la palma pero haces rt sospecho lo agradecerán 🙏🏻

College completely failed in teaching me how to write.

So I spent over 500 hours studying legendary authors and copywriters.

Then, I distilled what I learned into 6 simple frameworks.

But unlike college, these won't cost you $120,000.

Here they are for free:

@flaximus @rmoff To be honest, I'm not a Confluent Cloud user myself, so I don't really know what it entails. I thought publishing to Confluent hub would be enough. Anyway, I'm happy to make it available there if all it requires is for me to do something. Any pointer would be appreciated

[Cástor Rodríguez @CastorM]

@rmoff @flaximus Happy to help! I'm not actively working on it, as it already satisfied the needs I had. However, it's still alive, fixing bugs and accepting contributions.

@AGL9634 @TigerDogB @gemagoldie @jlhortelano Entiendo que si niegas la mayor, y no ves la discriminación sistémica, el apoyo institucional te parezca injusto. Pero los datos están ahí sobre la discriminación a la mujer, y no hay que buscar mucho

[Cástor Rodríguez @CastorM]

@AGL9634 @TigerDogB @gemagoldie @jlhortelano El propósito de esas leyes es dar apoyo institucional a la discriminación sistémica. Porque lamentablemente no se puede alcanzar igualdad sin apoyo institucional, la brecha es demasiado grande para que se corrija sola

[Cástor Rodríguez @CastorM]

@AGL9634 @TigerDogB @gemagoldie @jlhortelano Discriminación sistemática al hombre? Puedes dar ejemplos? Un mundo dominado por hombres discriminando a hombres?

[Cástor Rodríguez @CastorM]

@AGL9634 @TigerDogB @gemagoldie @jlhortelano El hecho de que la discriminación esté normalizada y sea sistémica hace difícil verlo, incluso a las mujeres que lo sufren. No es agradable aceptar que vivimos en una sociedad injusta, es más fácil negarlo, no puede estar todo mal, serán cosas nuestras...

[Cástor Rodríguez @CastorM]

@AGL9634 @TigerDogB @gemagoldie @jlhortelano Que no pasa nada, todos percibimos el universo desde nuestros ojos, es normal no verlo. Pero negar que existe un problema sólo porque tú no lo percibes es como poco egoísta, y cuando encima te beneficia ignorarlo, es interesado.

[Cástor Rodríguez @CastorM]

@AGL9634 @TigerDogB @gemagoldie @jlhortelano Podrás negar que existen, y negarte a verlos. Quizá tú no los sufras ni los sufriste nunca, así que no tienes necesidad de verlos. Lamentablemente tu realidad no es la realidad de quien los sufre, si abrieses un poco tu mente y esuchases, podrías descubrir otras realidades

A programmer’s biggest enemy is unnecessary complexity.

Write exactly what you need to write to solve the problem at hand, not one semicolon more.
