@IanSurewould @stripesupport There’s a few techniques to make it fast, one is test selectivity to optimise what tests are run pre-merge. There’s also just a lot of effort to keep tests fast and finally a lot of spot instances running in a poo got parallelisation.

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@jmbravo_io @stripe It's still two separate people. The minion runner executes the agent and the change is attributed to them. A separate human reviews that change just like we would any other change.

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@IanSurewould @stripesupport We have a pretty robust change management process. The tests get run at branch push, pre-merge and post-merge. The change with others then runs through a pre-prod environment before catch to a deploy train. From there it goes through blue / green deploy process.

@andreihasna @stevekaliski Gru is the code review agent

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@sanketsaurav @stripe We're using a fork of block/goose from 2024, mostly as a harness to ensure we have some rigor around human processes like linters, ci fixing etc

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@katelyn_lesse @stevekaliski You should ask @bhuga, he built a chunk of it

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@Foone These were quite open at the office :)

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@Foone First generation were Nexus 7. When Google stopped making those they started on the Gizmo. Launched late 2016.

My team has been working on a typing system for Ruby over the last 18 months, looking forward to having others use it and give feedback.

[Sorbet @sorbet_ruby]

We’re excited to announce that Sorbet—a fast, powerful type checker for Ruby, built by @Stripe—is now open source! See https://t.co/K9FL9x0sbw for more.

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

My team at @stripe has been working on Sorbet, a type system for ruby.

[James Iry @jamesiry]

I embloggenated about the current state of Sorbet, Stripe's gradual static type system for Ruby, at https://t.co/AiBgYDk5L4

@British_Airways I have a flight from GLA -> LHR that was rescheduled and a LHR -> SFO that was also with BA but not connected booking. How do I get that rebooked to a later time?

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@welovehistory Access restrictions meant closed when we got there today. Clarification of what this means could help other visitors.

@SaraMG @elazar @DragonBe @CalEvans @ramsey @preinheimer @wezfurlong @auroraeosrose @derickr @lig @MadisonPHP What about piggy back rides on your first day of work? :)

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@coates Try https://t.co/RBGxtRgG8o it has offline support and uses OpenStreetMap data.

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@ramsey you could come work at Facebook? @wezfurlong, @SaraMG and @dsp_ get the "pleasure" everyday. I could maybe make tek this year.

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@Webpass, why is your dhcpv6-pd only issuing a /64? Even comcast is giving out a /60 so you can have multiple vlans.

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@Webpass IPV6 seems to be working for me. I'm guessing it's a carrier-grade nat outage, think you could tell folks that / give updates?

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@auroraeosrose @SaraMG will be here for another hour. Could come for dessert and drinks?

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@lukestokes @juokaz @rbranson it's @fredemmott on the HHVM team.

[Scott MacVicar @scottmac]

@preinheimer @saramg I'd forgotten how to work out what was wrong, that was the hardest part. #ThreeWeeksOff
