Jon Bevan

Husband & dad. I engineer software for a living and sometimes blog about it too.

So not only was @Ryanair flight FR2162 from BHX to PMI more than 2hrs delayed today (Friday 25th Oct), they also didn't put any checked bags or car seats etc on it... Totally shocking!

🎙️@RThorDonovan chats with Jon Bevan, a software engineer building the cloud version of Scriptrunner. They delve into the origins of tech debt, the challenges of upgrading dependencies, and the potential scope creep of requirements and features over time.

the amazon prime video blog was right

lambda becomes prohibitively expensive really quickly

we've seen tremendous growth over the past 3 weeks, and it's not financially sound anymore to run on lambda

@AskNationwide Compared to other banks, the amount of effort required to do simple tasks is huge. It's no wonder I'm not using you as my main account anymore

[Jon Bevan @jdbevan]

@AskNationwide I wanted to a) send a one-off payment to a business I have a regular payment setup with and b) increase the amount of the regular payment. I had to add their payee details all over again to make the one off payment and now I can't update the regular payment amount

Generating JUnit 5 #Java tests with #ChatGPT directly inside IntelliJ #IDEA

[Sergio Pereira @SergioRocks]

Remote team that exhausts people:

- Meetings by default
- "Do you have 5 minutes?" multiple times a day
- Blockers when someone's off

Remote team that makes people happy:

- Async-first processes
- Critical processes documented to created redundancy
- Flexible schedule

Found a bug? Write a failing test first. Then apply the fix.

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern

Retweet if you think that there should be no new oil and gas development in the UK.

[Steve (Builder.io) @Steve8708]

If you don't already know... I'm a huge fan of the new `satisfies` operator in TypeScript 4.9

I've compiled the best examples I've found on using the operator, as well as a few helpful notes to make the most of it

Let's put in the effort to be #BetterAllies, even if we might get it wrong. Because the only way to be right all the time is to be silent.

When I make mistakes, I share them so that we can all learn together. Today's newsletter is what I got wrong in 2022 https://t.co/DlxyN0Ay8D

[Dave Anderson @scarletinked]

Junior engineer:
Take this design, and implement it.

Mid-level engineer:
Vague requirements? Design, and implement them.

Senior engineer:
A problem? Break it down, get it solved.

Principal engineer:
In your org, choose the most critical goal, and identify how to make progress.

When your brother sends you a sunset photo from New Zealand and you send a sunrise photo from Scotland and you realise you’re looking at two sides of the same sun from opposite ends of the world.

[Wes Bos @wesbos]

Anyone use this method for catching rejected promises? Sometimes I miss having the result and error in the same scope, on the next line.

If you do, do you take it a step further and pass in a bound function so you can catch thrown errors as well?

[Dave Anderson @scarletinked]

The most efficient way to run a team / organization is not to keep it fully utilized.

Hurts your brain, but it's true.

When you're 100% booked, any delay causes ripple effects across every single project.

It's oddly more efficient to keep some of your team idle.
