I’m a lifesaver in waiting! ❤️ I’ve registered to join the DKMS Stem Cell Register to give someone a second chance at life. Will you join me?

Hey @GarethThomasMP I’m lending you my vote with @MVTFWD to #GTTO, but my top issue is Global Justice. Is this a priority for you?

Please fix politics so I won’t have to vote tactically next time.

Tactical voter? Tell us your top issue here:

@StoicWeek I'm unable to join the Stoicon zoom as it seems to have reached a limit of 100 participants. Could you please help?

Hey Twitter! I've just donated to the DEC Pakistan Floods Appeal to help provide aid to people in need of urgent help to survive. Can you help? https://t.co/SoEsYR2qle

I am loving these young people at the Olympics, agreeing to share medals, cheering on their competition, knitting, pulling out if the time isn't right for them emotionally. They seem so sane? Look where an attitude of winning at all costs has got us. Time for change.

@jesslynnrose @meltywires I'd love to be a mentor. How can I find out more and sign up?

Internalize the behavior being described, and watch out for it. Then, instead of "not all men" or the like, be the person who holds OTHERS accountable for their behavior. Don't counter the woman's experience with how shocked you are. Just thank them for sharing and grow from it.

Yes! And we need to hear about testing - from testers. Finally, someone as respected as @tastapod in the programmer community says what highly respectable voices like @michaelbolton and @jamesmarcusbach in the testing community have been saying for years. About time!

[Michael Bolton @developsense.bsky.social @michaelbolton]

1) Yet another thing claiming that "testing a product manually doesn’t scale". That's exactly like saying "programming a product manually doesn’t scale", "editing a book manually doesn’t scale", or "teaching manually doesn’t scale". Let’s unpack that claim.

@DanAshby04 I do wish I would see more qualifications on that language:
Automate *repetitive* pass/fail testing.

There are other kinds of testing to consider: a script can tell that your code performed a specific function, but can't tell that using your program sucks.

Boris Johnson told his Cabinet today that the racism suffered by England football players had "emerged from the dark spaces of the internet."

Here's just a few of those dark spaces.

Just mentioned "Idea Flow" from @art3starr - a book every coder needs to read, such underrated https://t.co/zZ1wDrg4ES

@alanpage What methods do you use or recommend to evaluate quality?

[@[email protected] Rebecca Wirfs-Brock @rebeccawb]

Our object design book, Object Design: Roles, Responsibilities, and Collaborations is now available for free download from Pearson/InformIT. Thanks, Pearson for allowing us to share this widely. https://t.co/NcixRvbtex

[Nitish @latebound]

@alanpage Yes, and testing is how you evaluate quality. Without testing, you can't tell whether or to what extent your product provides value to some person who matters, aka quality.
