@alexbunardzic Are we saying the same thing?

@ICooper @jasongorman @rjkrish42 My assumption has always been this plus the unix file paradigm becoming ubiquitous

@davefarley77 @notengoid @Grady_Booch Does evolution solve problems? That feels a bit too targeted. Successful mutants may be interesting and unexpected, but I’m not sure they are solutions.

@KiwiDenny I like this and suggest burning later... that stuff is probably less important than the new things you'll discover... and if they aren't you'll rediscover them again pretty quickly :)

@jasongorman AND your colorscheme makes the comments shout, unlike many I see that knock them back so you barely notice them.

@jasongorman The big clue was right there at the top in the test name ;-)

@jasongorman I read that as saying the payer is trying to transfer 250.0 to the payee. I would expect the payer's balance to be debited* by 250.0, therefore the balance would be 750.0.

*Assumption: this is modelled from a banking consumer perspective and debit here means take money out.

@jasongorman @Cennydavidsson would it be fair to say that SmallTalk was probably the best example of working like that and that community was a huge contributor to the discovery/advent/popularisation of TDD?

@KiwiDenny Prepare. What do you want to find out? What stories can you ask them to tell which will help you find out? H/t @ttorres

@wagslane Depends on the work. I don’t think I do it often enough but in my experience - for deep, solo tasks - the buzz around and change of context helps me focus.

The noise the internet used to make connecting on a dialup would. Blow. Their. Minds.

Oh my god someone posted to Reddit they just bought a hard drive and it’s making grinding sounds.

They posted a video. It’s the read head moving. They’ve never heard a hard drive before. 💀

@jasongorman It’s interesting, the regulation is often related to the sector: banking, pharma, etc.

What is the tech industry? What are the regulations that should apply across the sectors? Are tech businesses not subject to the regulations already present in their sector?

[Steve Tooke @tooky]

@jasongorman I can’t tell.
