Let's generalise. Any model that maximises individual efficiency reduces team performance, and in fact achieves none.
NONE.

I think you guys should stop learning languages and start learning programming already.

@mattpocockuk Can we get better refactoring tools? Like the ones IntelliJ has been offering to Java devs for a decade or more.

[Sébastien Varlet @svarlet]

@mipsytipsy Trunk based development (no more PRs)

[Sébastien Varlet @svarlet]

"Typescript [...] was built to make your tooling better. 10y ago when TS was created the tooling for JS was awful" @mattpocockuk

Well... 10y later, we only have "Extract function", "Extract constant" and "Rename" to refactor our code.

What happened?

@frontstuff_io Thank you so much!

[Sébastien Varlet @svarlet]

@frontstuff_io I resisted the need to nudge you via twitter for almost 2 months, but it's getting increasingly worrying, and call me entitled if you want, but can you please release a new version of dinero v2? there's at least one bug fixed, merged, but not released that matters.

I do collaborative trunk-based dev. We commit/push every 10 minutes or so, and use feature flags to hide unfinished things. That way of working is very effective, and is impossible to do with a PR-triggered code review—a waterfall gate at its worst. Collaboration rules!

The argument that "we need to use microservices to get hard boundaries between components," is really "we are so undisciplined that we need to add considerable complexity to protect ourselves from ourselves." →

The great thing that's happening with increasing remote work is that we are also moving further in that direction; but at least we don't miss our 11am yoga class.

Pull Requests kill puppies and kittens... but also your team.

@ScottWlaschin Thanks. Do you happen to know a good one for typescript? If not I guess I’ll just make one that match your talk :-)

[Sébastien Varlet @svarlet]

@ScottWlaschin After reading your excellent intro to parser combinators, I'm tempted to validate data with parser combinators. When I look for libs, they all seem to demand the definition of tokens to create a lexer. Why? isn't it the goal of PCs to avoid this?

[Sébastien Varlet @svarlet]

@frontstuff_io Hi, thanks for `dinero.js`, it's a great library and you put so much efforts in its functional design, the docs, and the overall developer UX.

@RoyalMailHelp There's no security related discussion here. Your public website is just broken. I'm hoping you'll inform the "tech team".

[Sébastien Varlet @svarlet]

@RoyalMail I thought you should know that the Register link at the top of your page is broken, so I can't sign up to set up my mail redirection.

@lucasdicioccio Are you implicitly saying that with 2 repos there would be 2 "GitHub issues"? If so, then the signal is to decouple your project management tool from your code versioning tool, and not so much how many repo you should rely on. #notAntiMonoRepo #notNotAntiMonoRepo

Am I the only person annoyed by Face ID requiring me to lift and tilt my iPad to do anything with it, and therefore using it less and less? #FirstWorldProblems
