Turns out that the best way to get notifications on Twitter is to ignore it. Then you just get more notifications than ever before for the mere fact that someone you follow has tweeted something...

After reading this, although I used to think that books do work, I've now learnt that books don't work. Does that mean that, although books don't work, essays do?

📣 New essay distilling one strand of some ongoing work✨

I argue that books lack a functioning model of how people learn—instead, they're (accidentally, invisibly) built around a model that's plainly false. Plus some early models for what to do about it. https://t.co/hd5VoJIHI2

@philip_schwarz I gave up on finding the videos. :) The best I can do is this: https://t.co/jJhQ0b0PfY, and this: https://t.co/rI0jcehK0Y. (Second to last paragraph.)

Code smell of the day: packages, libraries, classes, etc. named util/utils/utility/utilities/etc.

@philip_schwarz @yegor256 @jlangr @unclebobmartin @alvinalexander @joshbloch @sandimetz @KevlinHenney I do indeed. I'm trying to find them, but (typically) I can't right now. He's mentioned it a few times though.

When will (or when did most of us) wake up to the fact that we (application software developers) are doing almost everything the hardest and most ineffective way possible. All because we insist on thinking like machines instead of humans?

@profwest Where will it be published? Here? https://t.co/2U0mSok3do
Btw, you should link to your website in your twitter bio. :)

New essay due soon: Why programming is hard and software development is (mostly) impossible. Sound interesting?

Here's my conversation with @elonmusk on the Artificial Intelligence podcast. Focus was on Tesla Autopilot & last week's release of @MIT research on functional vigilance. My hope is this catalyzes further nuanced conversation about AI & safety in driving. https://t.co/hMIHYBRJnd

Hey, normal people! Welcome to the phrase"debug view"...

Save this tweet in case you ever find yourself attacked by a mob of haters, and it makes you start to doubt yourself. Lambda does more good than most nonprofits, and thousands of people have decided, based on this shallow diss, that it's evil incarnate.

Sorry. Tweets are not the right medium in which to express anything on Twitter.

Words are so overrated as a system of communication. Ya feel me?

[Deprecated @nqafield]

Imagine a world where what matters is whether the thing said is true or not... rather than who said it, or what group they belong to, or this, or that, or whether they are always right on the current hot-button issues, or whether they pulled a face that you don't like, or...

Like building a good software solution, right?

I love the idea that there can be infinitely many solutions to an equation and yet those solutions can still be sparse, and therefore difficult to find.

Just the title alone is scarily on point: "If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going, It Doesn’t Matter How Fast You Get There".

The problems are relatively easy to articulate, the solutions less so. Or even if the solutions are easy to articulate they're usually a lot harder to actually implement.

I'm not remotely dissing this talk. I've only watched five minutes of it! But I'm still stuck by the fact that's it's so easy, not to mention funny and fun, to point out (and recognise) the problems.
