@thetrainline I don't agree that a "Day Return" fits the description of an "Open Return" that nearly got me fined by the train company. Luckily, I spotted it and cancelled the ticket before travelling.

If you #dotnet is your thing and you want to help develop our backend solutions for orders and warehouses then why not apply for a senior developer role? https://t.co/2dsgjY9aas

Got an X notification for something that sounded interesting.

But it wasn't, it was shitty.

Anyone following not already on the other site, the links in the profile.

Probably won't be here very often.

@david_whitney Profit from mods is fine but what about profit from rockers?

@tottinge And are we optimising for number of noses on stones or optimising for optimum flour output?

@CFDevelop @onlytrueisaac "Why is that necessary when you can just change the code?"

Because changing code is difficult, slow and risky.

Once you eliminate those then the above becomes much less relevant.

@timheuer Do you have any allergies?

@cmgriffing @thdxr If you can ensure that these people only have zoom calls and not in person meetings, all the better.

[Andy Clark @TechyChap]

@thdxr Here's some help with code reviews https://t.co/vDdCGHD9dF

@thdxr Have you tried changing the meeting time and/or location at the last minute and then only telling half the attendees via an obscure side channel?

@TheMentalist_0 @Wools11 A great thread, thanks

@Philco78 @firstdrafthell Recently used xmlreader to split so e big XML files into smaller files.

@david_whitney @firstdrafthell Some of the product feed files we send to Amazon are pretty massive. Can't remember the exact size but 300mb rings a bell.

@jessejohnsohn @davidfowl @dotnet @nextjs We use Typescript to make the transition easier for those who are coming from .Net to JavaScript.

[Andy Clark @TechyChap]

@thekitze Indeed, code for ease of change, optimise later if needed

@paigeisxp @alexbunardzic It does sound like chaos and when you are in it, it sometimes seems like chaos too.

Rather than spending time working out if A is more worthy than B and then analysing afterwards if you were right.

You just use that time to do both.
