I like shiny things. Oh yeah and technology.

I'm suggesting a new title in IT:

* Principal Overengineering Engineer *

That's a level below * Extinguished Engineer *. WDYT? 🤓 #programming

@bnickeldandrea Cheeseburger casserole, but more organised

@keithfix In the U.S.? Definitely felt that way when I was back anyway 🙃

gRPC and GraphQL have the same problem of using HTTP as a transport layer rather than as the API medium, plus the tooling is specific to their framework. Ideally I’d like to define operations that get compiled to separate HTTP endpoints

[Bruce Felt @freakyfelt]

Anybody aware of existing tooling like this that I’m just not finding? I want something that compiles down to OpenAPI but isn’t so HTTP oriented in its definition https://t.co/2nptJ3Hq7A

[Bruce Felt @freakyfelt]

JSON-RPC ends up moving routing into the payload, meaning the same HTTP endpoint gets invoked and you have to re-implement monitoring all over again at a lower layer, plus the project looks dead

People don’t choose to be LGBTQI+, but businesses sure seem to choose when to support it when it cushions the bottom line and doesn’t cause bad PR. Pride is a protest 🏳️‍🌈

"Have them press 1 again."
"Good."
"Now, 3 minutes of silence."
"Are they still there?"
"Give them 18 minutes of pan flute."

Developers of iOS apps please come to a consensus on how contextual menus should behave. Do I hold and slide to release or do I hold, release, and tap. Otherwise sending ❤️ accidentally to bad news is going to continue.

How is @audible_com zeroing out your credits you’ve accrued with your monthly fees when you cancel your subscription not considered shady? Thanks for nothing 😒

I always said I didn’t want to be treated differently because I’m gay.

But last night, I had a conversation that made me realise it’s important to acknowledge that what I’ve been through *has* made me different.

It helped to talk about it, and it’s helped to write about it.
