I realized this morning that this week marks 15 years since @jezhumble, @tastapod and I introduced The Deployment Production Line to the world! They're called Build Pipelines these days, but a rose by any other name...

I thought Dune 2 was the best movie of 2024 until I watched this masterpiece (sound on).

Allow me to be more helpful to @SlackHQ customers than their entire support apparatus:

If you’re using the native Mac app, here’s how you disable their dogshit user-hostile redesign:

Hana is one of the smartest people I've ever met. Her code is legendary, who else would have made regexes work at compile time? If you need tough problems solved with great attention to detail and code quality; hire Hana!

In addition to the excellent content, the thing I love most about the talk @Penguin just gave at @devopsdaysChi is the fact that he’s an American that knows that the plural of LEGO is LEGO…

…and the fact that the saddest README just says “TODO”

@devopsdaysChi 2023 has begun!

[Neil Gaiman @neilhimself]

It's planned and plotted and if there wasn't a Writers Strike on I'd be writing it right now. Ways to help make Good Omens Season 3 happen are A) watch Season 2, B) get people who know nothing of Good Omens to start watching S1, and C) encourage the studios to negotiate with WGA.

For those who care about the old but amazing architectures and emulation of it, we're trying to document it here: https://t.co/oInAi8bEPK - but the examples are bare minimum. If you have suggestions or want to collab on improving support; please let us know on GH or discord - pq

Can anyone I know recommend a contractor/consultancy who they personally KNOW has excellent Terraform/GitHub/Python/Poetry/GCP skills to help me on a platform infra/deploy task. ASAP and probably about 6-8 weeks of work? Remote but needs to be UK +/- 1HR timezone

RT appreciated

RIP Gordon Moore -- a true giant and visionary. If you haven't read it, his 1965 paper (which, it must be said, does not in fact coin Moore's Law!) remains extraordinary and merits a full read. My talk on Moore's work from 2019: https://t.co/oCJkod8HNS

[Mick Douglas 🇺🇦🌻 @bettersafetynet]

I just hard flunked someone on a tech screening interview.

them: OK let's get this over with, I'm a big deal in this sector of the biz. I know this stuff.
me: um, we're screening tech, but I want to let you know I'll report tone and stuff too

A brilliant explanation from Dave.

It's a kind but firm correction of the most common misunderstanding of BDD.

[Tim Ottinger @tottinge]

I worked with a team for a few weeks.
People built using TDD or very tight test-after.
It was all trunk-based with continuous deployment.
They formed up squads/swarms/groups as needed to get work done.
They turned around improvements in a day usually.

Frustrated to be waking your kids up in the dark? Your semi-annual reminder that the moronic notion of "making daylight saving time permanent" would mean that the sun would rise at 8:21 on December 21st in San Francisco -- and 8:55 in Seattle! https://t.co/c9buJkIxeo
