Engineering Manager at @GetEquiem. Building great software is hard. Building great teams is harder. I like working on both.

My AI just had a human error 🤦‍♂️
"...all my hard work on setting up multiple schemas has just been erased when I inadvertently performed a git reset --hard HEAD and git stash pop error after stash dropping."

Gen AI has given me the confidence to write my thoughts quickly without agonising over the right words, knowing I can get help with polish and tone later. I'm surprised to find how much I don't care to polish it anyway and the first draft is often ok.

Best Spotify feature ever? You can quickly clone your daylist by selecting Add to other playlist > New playlist and it copies the hilariously random title too 💾.
No more having to Share > Embed to copy the title text.

Pet projects are an outlet for perfectionism, creativity and learning. Engineering leaders should encourage pet projects at home and at work. https://t.co/T0AZjGP1g0

Watching AWS Innovate Gen AI conference and the subtitles for the video are obviously for another video altogether😆

@StanAustralia did your service just go down?

Google's current header is just `unload=()`. What am I missing?

[Paul Heasley @pheasley]

The Permissions-Policy header spec seems illogical. You have to explicitly list disabled features but the feature list is constantly changing. Shouldn't they be disabled by default?

I'm often guilty of not speaking up for fear of being wrong. Love this quote from Frances Frei:
"Pay less attention to what you think people want to hear from you and far more attention to what your authentic, awesome self needs to say."

Fratelli’s Frankston is on fire 🔥. Hope everyone is ok.

Do we need test fixtures? They keep the test code dry but usually at the cost of readability. The test becomes a little more magic ✨

Maybe I’ll go play Xbox. Oh wait, the game needs a 30min update. This is why I never play. I’ll go cook dinner instead.

[Paul Heasley @pheasley]

It’s been a while, I think I might play some Xbox. Oh, Xbox update 😞. 15min later…game update 😩. 30min later…can’t read license from disk 🤬. You know what, I’ll go clean the bathroom instead.

@larsklint @samcurrie I do not think 3 in 1 means what you think it means.
