Software Engineer @ DiUS. I build, I automate, and I mix drinks.

If I were @awscloud and serious about fixing documentation bugs, I’d gamify it with AWS credits. $10 for a typo, $30 for an IAM * policy, etc.

No joke. Dropbox did this with free space and I maxed that thing out just because it was fun.

You will always be damned for the fires you couldn't prevent, and you will never receive praise for the 20x number of fires you prevented.

Nearly half-way there! This proposed LEGO set honoring women of computing history is just shy of 5K supporters. We need 10K to be considered for production — please share: https://t.co/PqYvIceGkx

X : One of our customers wants a new feature in our product.
Me : Sounds good. Add it to the backlog.
X : No other customer seems to want this. It's unique to them.
Me : Is it a generally useful feature that others might want?
X : I doubt it
Me : Then super low priority.

Give future you a break. Architecture decision records, also known as ADRs, are a great way to document how and why a decision was reached within a codebase. https://t.co/qS3ViTXsOu

@bethesque You ought to feel like one. I did nothing :)

This has to be one of the tech events of the year - spread the word, sign up, lockdown is the right time to invest in new skills. Kudos to the organisers!

You cannot trust something to be 'green' unless you can observe it in production. TDD is the "it compiled" of modern software. Doesn't mean it runs.

The universe of complex systemsry not-covered by tests is far, far greater than that which is covered (and expanding daily).

Which @awscloud bill looks more like yours?

In theory, elasticity means you can scale down with demand. Do you?

[Ken Ming Ong @kenmingong]

@enyfule @dius_au @awscloud @srbartlett I was that boring

[Troy Hunt @troyhunt]

I've been involved in a lot of data breach disclosures and every time I think I've seen the worst possible response by an organisation, someone else goes and lowers the bar. Here's the full Surebet247 story, wow! https://t.co/3jeDex2FHt

@dius_au Finishing off at the Munich!

@dius_au Definitely! :)

@dius_au The very first Vegas trip that started it all.

Muxy is a tool for simulating distributed systems failures. Just fixed the network shaper module for OSX - how does your software behave when the network is flakey or slow? Find out https://t.co/22xMoTx6J7
