@amazonmusic Why so many classic albums are unavailable on unlimited? For example: Trespass by Genesis (while you can still buy it) and a few Traffic album disappeared! (example "The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys")

Uninstalling twitter, it is now just a distraction...

Looking forward to speaking @devseccon on Wed – see you there! #securecoding

😢 R.I.P.

Fred Brooks was the author of "The Mythical Man Month" a book that was hugely influential on so many of us. Also his paper "No Silver Bullet" would be on most people's shortlist of most influential papers.

@davefarley77 I think it's the plot of Ted Lasso, but also true.

The Boy Scout Rule: Check the code in cleaner than you checked it out — every single time.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

Never blame your employer for things that are your responsibility. If the code is a mess, it’s not the employer’s fault, it’s the programmers’ fault. Learn to negotiate features. Never negotiate workmanship. The only way to go fast is to go well.

New in Exploring Mastodon:

The usual Twitter convention is to follow the whole person, meaning one Twitter account for a person would tweet on many different subjects. In the Fediverse, we see people having multiple Mastodon (and other) accounts.

I'm finding Mastodon a lot easier to understand having I've realized that it's just blogs. Everyone gets a little blog, on their own server or someone else's. Following someone is pretty much subscribing to their feed. You can even roll your own implementation from scratch.

[Simon Willison @simonw]

Accidentally I ran an interesting experiment comparing Twitter and Mastodon this morning when I tweeted/tooted about a blog post

Mastodon: 3,000 followers (all from the last few days), 25 replies, 91 reblogs, 184 faves
Twitter: 43,000 followers, 7 replies, 31 retweets, 183 likes

The most common causes of productivity issues I have witnessed in 20+ years are either crippling technical debt or lack of clarity about what you are building. Yet, bosses blames engineers not working hard enough.

[Maurizio Lupo @sithmel]

If you are curious about Mastodon and you don't know how to start: I have found this nice guide https://t.co/Bynpi4YSnE

[John Bull @garius]

Right. As a heavy tweeter/content creator who is now maintaining BOTH a Twitter and Mastodon presence, here is a short guide to what I have set up, how to do it and lessons I've learned, for others.

TLDR: It's been WAY less hassle than I expected thanks to tips from followers /1

I am giving Mastodon a try. I am @[email protected]
See you there!

Elon Musk destroying Twitter for all of us who weren’t strong enough to delete our accounts on our own is basically a shot-for-shot remake of Gollum stealing the Ring from Frodo and falling into Mt. Doom

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

The difference between technical debt and a mess is the same as a well planned home mortgage and a teenage credit card blowout.

True technical debt is never intentionally bad code. Rather, it is a carefully considered deficit in features, structure, and glitter.

I also think I am getting old, and I have less time ahead of me. Probably I can blame a middle age crisis. I wonder if I am the only one feeling this way :-) thread over

[Maurizio Lupo @sithmel]

I found difficult to explain my colleagues, especially those who are younger than me, that I quit playing video games around 15 years ago. A thread ...

[Maurizio Lupo @sithmel]

I was an avid gamer starting with Commodore 64 up to Wii. But when I was 30 I couldn't cope with the pressure of being a parent of 2, studying to advance with my career and keep playing the guitar (eventually I gave up that too).

[Maurizio Lupo @sithmel]

I do other things: I play music, I work with wood, I watch tv, mostly as a social activity with my wife/kids. I feel that playing is not getting me anywhere near my dreams. Like a waste of time without achieving anything.

[Maurizio Lupo @sithmel]

Since then, my kids grew up (they are 19 and 16 now) and I could have resumed with my hobby. I just didn't care anymore.
