Today I experienced all four stages of fixing a unit test:
1. The code must be broken
2. The test must be broken
3. The testing framework must be broken
4. Since when do we use hyphens instead of underscores? 🤦🏻‍♂️

“We used to review every line of code before it went into production”.

@starbuxman No but I make sure the integration tests can.

@starbuxman The crown jewel of Astoria, Oregon!

@starbuxman Yikes! Got any food places on the list to try while you’re there?? Recommend Terry Blacks if you like bbq, it’s terrific and usually has a pretty short line.

@almormd Rainier is beautiful but I’ll still take Mt Hood 😍

Theater 7 is packed to hear @treygrainger talk about multimodal embeddings (aka “thought vectors”). #haystackconf

[Cameron Hinkle @codingdelight]

The dense vector talk from @TomBurgmans and Mohit Sidana yesterday was a #haystackconf highlight. It was one for the nerds, and I’m here for it.

@alexmshamir thanks for sharing this Alex. I didn’t know you were Israeli, I visited there in July for the first time. What a beautiful country and culture, I would love to go back some day. Praying for Israel every day. So heartbroken over what happened.

@dhh Not an argument for building a monolith instead of microservices, but you’re correct.

@BillyM2k @amandanat Same, my whole brain is basically in Notes.

@Parkeology I remember seeing this commercial as a kid in Oregon and thinking there was no way it was that big, it must have been some camera trick. It would be almost 30 years before I got to see it myself, and it blew me away.

Hey just be careful now that you’re back in the office, someone nearby is probably off mute in a recorded meeting and the attendees can all hear you better than the actual presenter 😳

[Cameron Hinkle @codingdelight]

@fux0r I’ve definitely experienced both shame and pride looking at my old code at different times 😅

[Cameron Hinkle @codingdelight]

Taking a quick stop on the way to Boston to see the Disney 100 exhibit at the Franklin Institute today. It’s pretty cool but only if you’re a giant Disney nerd. So yes, I had a great time.

@BillyM2k @dougboneparth If it is to be said, so it be. So it is.

Someone tell the Twitter algorithm that I just lost my fantasy basketball championship and instead of being very very interested in NBA news, every recommended basketball tweet now feels like a knife to the heart 🤢 Someone make it stop! 😩

From a DM, just in case anyone else needs to hear this.

We need an executive order that for every new Slack channel created, two must be deleted.
