@davidfowl 1. Vent to ChatGPT and ask it to make it Irish
2. Go to subreddit "r/IrishRant" and post the response.
3. Feel safe in ranting in a beautiful Irish accent that just makes you turn a bad rant into an enjoyable one

Just wanted to share quickly how lovely yesterday felt in Southport; a total contrast to the night before. 🧵

The mosque and people’s garden walls were rebuilt by builders and bricklayers volunteering their time and labour:

@RoxCodes @EspreeDevora I'm not looking myself but would love to know more. Not heard of that job title before. Are you looking for someone from any country?

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

@davidfowl @quorralyne 🙋‍♂️ we use a minimal API at Ruler. Been great

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

@coffeewithayman @GeoffTRoberts FreshVoices sounds like a good podcast name

@dreadolph @docsmsft @shanselman Back in 2017 we built our mobile apps using xamarin. It was easy and brilliant. I left that workplace but I'm sure they were glad to be using C# for everything. And it's only got better since then

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

@AviNahir @Aaronontheweb .Net is brilliant for start ups. Only drawback is if you need to pay for Visual Studio. Can get away with the free tier one or VS Code though

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

Plot twist. Right now, that decision is to eat as many Easter eggs as possible so my future self doesn't have to worry about it

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

When making decisions think about what your future self would celebrate your past self for. Go with that option

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

@davidfowl Would definitely like to experience that with my team!

For anyone who's worked with an Architect that says they don't write code #cleanarchitecture @unclebobmartin

@grounzero2 @davidfowl Curious on this. Why a console app in a browser? They are both just different interfaces right? I'll check this one out though, thanks for sharing

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

@fikrigha @ThePrimeagen I feel bad that you haven't experienced a good C# project 😞

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

@StevenBartlett missing my weekly fix of https://t.co/FxsQ16zsk6. I got half way through and it disappeared on me. Didn't you know that this is my entertainment while feeding my newborn at 3am 😅

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

@amjad_allobadi Incomplete features? Yes. Actual known defects? No.

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

@mikebroberts @usamanaseem We do all this including RDS. But AWS is the last check for us. And we do lots of pairing and certainly don't have 500 Devs which reduces the number 😅. It's usually spun up and seeded by the time you have made a coffee. It's amazing tbh

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

@mikebroberts @usamanaseem Put all this into Terraform or CloudFormation and you can spin up your Dev environment as and when you need it. And it's exactly the same as production 🫣

@tastapod Should I not be using Chrome! 🤪

[Dave Rooney @therooniverse]

@Lanooba Dropbox have done a great job of describing stages of the software engineer career path. At my place we went through them and created our own path (much simpler junior/mid/senior).

It has nothing to do with years experience...

@KentBeck I feel like pressure can be a big factor in this. No deadlines would be a good start
