@robsmallshire I wrote up some stuff about this on my blog a while ago: https://t.co/HayxBh21PC

Q: How long should a method/function be?

A: one idea at one level of abstraction long.

My favorite answer to this question of all time.

@tom_dalling In general, I think that a really good programmer is somebody who can write code effortlessly. If you wrote something and now you’re attached to it because “you put a lot of energy” into it, then you’re not there yet.

@dmitrykandalov @github What's happening with GitHub, Dima?

[Pawel Duda @pawelduda]

Hi. Could you please recommend any apprenticeship programmes in London for junior programmers? A friend has graduated from a dev bootcamp (Makers) and she's looking for a friendly place to learn more (TDD and Pairing would be extra appreciated). Thank you :)

I’ve been sewing masks, takes me ages but this is very clever.

Dear Londoners, please hover your payment card above @TfL card readers instead of physically touching them with your card/hand. It will work just as well. Every little step counts! #BreakTheChain of #coronavirusuk to #FlattenTheCurve in #london

Two kind of breaks: curative and preventive. Breaks can help to recover once we're tired, but perhaps even more importantly, can prevent getting tired in the first place. Anti-pattern: I don't need a break now because I still feel fresh. https://t.co/mgHPmrTYly by @tottinge

Feedback loops, does TDD lead to good design, Scrum doesn't work vs Scrum is just a mirror, story points are spent and not delivered, deploying frequently vs deploying value, 50% of industry doesn't observe user interaction https://t.co/fPETtbquoU by @gojkoadzic

Incredible to see millions around the world #unitebehindscience in today's global #climatestrike. Here's London.

@johan_alps Slt, ca va? :) This reminded me of our conversation about Accelerated Learning at #socratesuk 2017 https://t.co/yL7mnKRh7C Hope you'll enjoy it too :)

Principles of writing good programmer tests

[Kent Beck 🌻 @KentBeck]

Principles for the tests programmers write and run for themselves. Better to examine principles than fruitlessly argue details based on different principles. https://t.co/DkJ9vENlaS

[Kent Beck 🌻 @KentBeck]

When I’m writing an assertion, I ask myself, "For how much of the life of the system should this be true?" 2 + 2 = 4? Forever. This object sends this message to that object? Just for now.

I assert long-term truths and not "just for now"s.
