@mess_ltd Wire wrap FTW!

@johncutlefish For accuracy I should clarify: I've done one *conference* talk without slides, and a few other meetup and office talks without them.

[Pete Yandell @notahat]

@johncutlefish I've done it a few times.

Without the slides to emphasise structure, you need to structure the talk itself really clearly.

I don't think it needs to be incredible. People get pretty tired of looking at slides! I've had lots of compliments for talks where I haven't used them.

Dudes will make fun of genders and pronouns but will absolutely lose their shit if you call their Ford F250 a F150.

@tambryantbutow Things that sound like a euphemism but aren't.

Let’s talk about test suites…

In the last 30 days, we’ve run the @buildkite test suite 3645 times on CI. We have ~13k automated tests, which means we’ve executed over 47 million individual tests.

@justinfrench Chop 'em off.

[Pete Yandell @notahat]

This thread is gold.

Some advice for line managers to help avoid similar situations (project getting cancelled). I'm not at all familiar with the referenced project, nor any contributing organisational dysfunction, just using it as a launching point. 🧵

@April_Staines And in the evening lots of people standing around staring at the sky, which can only mean one thing: alien invasion.
