@RedgateProdDev That telly is glorious.

To count an animal population if you can't catch them all: capture some, mark them, release, and capture again. The ratio of new vs already seen tells you something about the total number. Shown here is iterated mark-and-recapture with a Bayesian updates to belief about pop size

What could possibly go wrong with allowing your entire department to decide what team they want to work in?

Turns out, nothing.

Your real biggest achievement in 2019 isn’t a project you worked on, or a promotion you got, it’s the fact that you haven’t let the complete shitshow we’re living through & whatever struggles you’ve had send you completely insane.

Have faith, it’s nearly done.

Here's a thing I've learned:

The terrible thing about [publishing a book/getting your dream job/starting a new relationship] is you wake up the next morning and you're still you. If you're not happy where you're at, no external accomplishment is going to change that.

So, today at @RedgateProdDev I launched my first ever major version of a product. Proud to announce that SQL Prompt 10 is now available!

22 years and 6 major Windows versions later, a game I once wrote still works perfectly.

Two apps I wrote LAST YEAR are now a buggy piece of useless crap after the macOS update.

Amazing engineering by MS. Doesn't make you think twice which platform to support as developer.

Watch President @BarackObama make an excellent point about call-out culture.

@thecodecleaner @FundFeel @twalsh92 @redgate Fear not, in one of our mini retrospectives we complained about the lack of team cake so I'll be bringing some in on Tuesday next week 👍.

This still gives me chills.

Carl Sagan demonstrates how the Greeks figured out the Earth was round and correctly calculated its circumference — 2,000 years ago:

I’ve hired a few people in my time.

I’ve never been disappointed by hiring someone who is less technical but is a great human who cares for others.

I can teach tech pretty easily.

But boy have I seen people who are strong technical people with toxic attitudes destroy a team.
