@A11yRules Thanks for having me! I really enjoy your podcast (the digestible format and transcripts are a massive help, by the way!), so I'm happy I could offer some insight :)

[A11y Rules @A11yRules]

Just spoke to @vangool_it for the show. He has ADHD. He said that "the entire internet, without ad blockers [is a problem from a distraction perspective]".

This episode coming in a few weeks!

[Nash van Gool @vangool_it]

@PostNL dus... Pakket niet bezorgd terwijl de track & trace zegt van wel, melding gemaakt. Leuk hoor, maar waar ga ik nu m'n pakket vandaan halen? "Da's kut voor je, succes verder" is niet heel erg behulpzaam.

a thing I think about a lot is security advice that's basically just wrong because it's written with assumptions about corporate behavior that are not reliable.

[Nash van Gool @vangool_it]

@maybeFrederick I have little experience with production applications in any of these - what makes Go or Node more suitable for microservices, in your opinion?

[Nash van Gool @vangool_it]

@vanamerongen Person with 7 years of experience here.

Will get back to you once I'm Director of Engineering. Or Engineering Manager for that matter.

[Nash van Gool @vangool_it]

@doppynl That is generally who the word "I" refers to when I use it, yes 😄

[Nash van Gool @vangool_it]

This.

You think normal users are stupid? Well, I'm just as stupid, but I have more tools to fuck up with. You'll be scratching your head and wondering how the hell I managed to break things *this* badly.

a popular myth is that people who are Very Computer have computers that work. nothing could be further from the truth. the Very Computer are capable of generating much more novel and fascinating ways to make computers not fucking work and exercise this capability wantonly

@maybeFrederick @rskuipers Everybody knows a red cable is 5% faster

@chrisholland I like the term "scream testing" for this: turn it off, and if nobody screams, it wasn't that important.

C is a language with many useful functions: strtod converts your string to a double, strtol converts your string to a long, and strtok converts your string to potassium

@maybeFrederick Curious to see what she makes of a jar of cinnamon

[Nash van Gool @vangool_it]

Goes doubly as a contractor. If I'm the only one with certain knowledge, something went horribly wrong.

Was in almost that situation a while back due to circumstances. Did not feel good. I want to be replaceable at any moment, as painlessly as possible.

[Maciej Czerpiński @mczerpinski]

@housecor @Pelshoff Vendor lock is also about devs. Do everything you can to be replaceable. It will benefit project and you.

Voor de volledigheid: ik woon nog niet op het adres in kwestie op het moment van leveren. Het pakket zou op mijn huidige adres geleverd worden, maar dat lijkt niet zo te zijn. Is dat alleen verkeerd in de weergave, of is de aanpassing van het afleveradres niet doorgekomen?

[Nash van Gool @vangool_it]

@KPNwebcare ik heb een tijdje geleden met jullie hulp internet afgesloten, en daarbij zou het installatiepakket op een ander adres afgeleverd worden. Ik zie alleen in de bestelling alsnog het verkeerde adres (het adres van het abonnement) staan als afleveradres. Klopt dat?

[Nash van Gool @vangool_it]

@KPN ik wil een internetabonnement afsluiten voor een adres waar ik nog niet woon, is het mogelijk het materiaal te laten bezorgen op een ander adres dan waar ik het contract op zet?

[Nash van Gool @vangool_it]

@centraal_beheer Heb je die daarvoor nodig dan?🤨

[Nash van Gool @vangool_it]

@centraal_beheer klein vraagje, hoe weten jullie dat ik jullie emails niet open?
