This week I worked with a team to get code coverage over 80% (a corporate minimum). The problem with this effort: Code coverage can be gamed. Sure, low code coverage means there's a lot of untested code. But, high code coverage doesn't mean the code is well tested.

Low quality tests are arguably worse than no tests. Why? Because they make it look like the code is well tested. This creates a false sense of confidence. And lousy tests that report 100% coverage mask opportunities to improve. The real solution: Thoughtful, human review.

Whoever is genuinely tweeting that #CisIsASlur needs to give their head a wobble. Trying to play the victim of a descriptor is pathetic. If cis is a slur, then trans is a slur. Maybe assess your bigotry

No, we're going to hire you instead because we are tired of fun, and your resume fits the bill.

Putting up with poorly motivated nitpicking on my code reviews (after initially fighting back and being told I should cooperate). Then when I gave a critical code comments to that same man, got a huge tantrum about how unfair I was being.

There's a running joke on Reddit about a massively multiplayer online game called "Outside," which is literally just going outside and interacting with other people and existing in society.

I refuse to take notes even if there’s an uncomfortable silence. I’m usually in rooms with all men and me and the amount of times they just sit there and expect me to be the notetaker… no

1. The world "darling" 2. "After you" at the door, "After me" in a meeting 3. Is anyone taking notes? 4. Can you set something up? 5. I was just trying to help

I am hugely Facebook critical but don't think it's appropriate to post about how everyone who works there is evil/should leave/etc. Just because you personally wouldn't take a job there everyone has their own reasons. Direct your anger at the leaders and company level.

While I’m on a rant. Engineers who say they don’t have time for accessibility. Im flattered that you think I’m so much better at software engineering than you are.
