Fellow nerds. I'm at @WeAreDevs this week. Anyone else I know going to be there?

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@munawwarfiroz They’re not comparable. Prettier enforces a standard. CI enforces correctness. Git hooks enforce a workflow.

What's this obsession with wasted time? It’s my own time being wasted, no-one else's. If I find it persistently annoying then I’ll setup my own hooks as they suit me.

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@thdxr @mattpocockuk @munawwarfiroz Git hooks are a developer convenience. They run on the devs local machine and can be circumvented so they can’t be considered as anything more than a dev tool.

Forcing everyone on the project to use them is a bit like forcing everyone to use the same editor.

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

It feels personal when my tests fail on me. Is that why they’re called mocks?

Just saw a guy on a mobility scooter blasting "I would walk 1,000 miles" on his boom box. It made me chuckle.

@ImLunaHey LGTM ✅

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

And to top it off I bumped in to the glorious @MikeMJHarris for the first time in nearly 10 years. We even unexpectedly dressed the same to commemorate the occasion.

Thank you @vercel and @jaredpalmer for the talks and hospitality at AI night this evening. It was good to catch up with familiar faces again and to see a vibrant engineering community in action.

I'm excited to see how this landscape looks in the coming years.

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@AmyCrimmens Good question! Predominantly full stack JavaScript/Typescript (Node, GraphQL, React) and, serverless cloud. A little Go and Python, and more recently data tools like dbt, Bigquery, and Elasticsearch. I'm particularly handy at solving troublesome performance and stability issues.

Friends, I didn't expect to typing this message but I unexpectedly find myself let go from my recent contract and in search of opportunities for the new year.

My meagre following won't get much visibility so if you'd be so kind to share this post it'd be much appreciated ❤️

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@ThisIsMissEm @jevakallio @carolstran @PaceRevenue I suspect that is likely true. In any case, @carolstran if you'd like to have a chat about a FE role at Pace on a small but diverse team, feel to drop me a DM. Good luck!

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@KiraArghy Ha! I just got back from one 😅

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@KiraArghy I hate myself for seeing "props" and thinking this was a React tweet

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@jevakallio @MLHacks Nice one Jani! I'm so pleased for you and the students ❤️

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@vincentstinks Good shout! 😅

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

Friends! My sister runs a small art shop in Elephant and Castle. They've been hit by lockdown and are hustling to survive. Please consider supporting them if you'd usually buy art supplies or would like an activity to keep yourself occupied in isolation 🙏

[The Southbank Art Co @southbankartco]

We’ve been working hard whilst we have been closed setting up our online shop. You can now buy a selected range of art supplies and readymade frames and we’re going to be adding products over the next few days and weeks, with options for local delivery and standard UK delivery.

[PROVIDED AS IS 🧩 @ProvidedAsIs]

On Feb 11th, the 2nd gathering of #opensource maintainers in London is happening at @RedHat's office!

We are grateful to @ansible and @FormidableLabs support in making this possible, and we hope to se you all in February!

@EalingCouncil @EalingCustSer @VirendraSharma This is now 3 missed collections. This waste is attracting pests and further flytipping. Sort it out!

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@EalingCouncil it's the 3rd week in a row that the recycling collection was missed and instead was collected as general waste the following week. I'm pretty furious that recycling is heading to landfill. What's going on?

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@EalingCustSer The recycling collection is now 9 days late. Can someone please respond?

[Dan Lazarides @raiden]

@imranolas @EalingCouncil Same issue here on Castlebar Road W5. Rubbish is now spilling out of bins. @EalingCustSer - when is this being sorted?

[Imran Sulemanji @imranolas]

@EalingCouncil @EalingCustSer I appreciate the response. It's Fender Terrace and Hilary Road.
