@adamretter @UkNatArchives Been checking this out, very elegant piece of software and Open Source too. This would’ve saved me a lot of time in previous projects.

@_james_fuller @conal_tuohy jQuery gets a lot of stick, but it works. Can also use webpack and “tree shaking”, to exclude all the bits you don’t need of any imported lib.

@barton808 Hi, I saw your blog announcement of the new Dell XPS 13 with 32 GB of ram with Linux. I want to buy this, but I can’t find this on the Dell website. Spoke to sales, in India, they told me it doesn’t exist also.

@ewg118 @adamretter Apple hit a good area around 2012, high quality OS, phones and computers. Just went down hill since Steve Jobs died. It went from “let’s make the best products and charge big” to “let’s throw out gimmicky rubbish and charge even more”

[Charles Foster @fostercharles]

@adamretter That looks good. Also Huawei MateBook X Pro, I saw a great one from Dell too. There’s just so much competition. Native AES-256 bit SSD encryption and all sorts. Apple is just taking customer’s loyalty for granted and has done so for a while now.

The latest version of @PostmanClient now allows you to define your #API in the app. It even has a built-in @OpenAPISpec editor. This is huge

@bitfield Nice refreshing tweet. Every time I see Unit testing mentioned on Twitter or LinkedIn - it’s slagging it off, joking about how fruitless it is. Almost everywhere I go these days, there are ZERO unit tests - and i can see why when writing tests is now apparently so “unfashionable”
