Feeling the urge for a #PayToSpeak rant. But I'm going to resist. Instead I'll plea. Folks please only support events where you know the speakers are being looked after and compensated for their time. Ticketed online conferences should be paying their speakers.

Without this setting you can still just type "p". Since I use vim keybindings I often just block select "pick" and replace it with "s". This is just about the default it fills in for you.

Each package.json owner would get to decide how to distribute the funds across its dependencies. They must distribute half of what they got from their dependent and by default it's gets evenly distributed. So, this is recursive with amounts going down with log(k)

Have you read the stuff he wrote? These aren’t minor passing comments. It’s probably the most sexist stuff I’ve ever read. No amount of impeccable behaviour since then can make up for the fact he’s still profiting from those book sales.

Coffee is so expensive these days which is why I can't get enough of @Starbucks "Luck of the Buck" where you leave a dollar bill on the counter and take one of the drinks they've left out. Never know what you're gonna get!!!

Was running though a presentation was interrupted and they started talking about slides at the beginning. Very calmly asked if this was relevant to the slide I just spoke about and if not could I carry on presenting. Got told after by someone in the group it was a boss move

I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about this. They don’t supply work phones, nor give a reasonable reimbursement for a separate device, but expect employees to allow ALL network traffic to be monitored. The alternative is to have no access on mobile.

Very hot take - your employer should never force you to use then install security monitoring on a personal device which can be legitimately used to watch porn, sext, perform financial transactions, call your sponsor, or anything else that you reasonably could be blackmailed for.

Compare two numbers: how much money you're allowed to spend on a book, conference, or software without approval. And how many people you can invite to an hour-long meeting multiplied by their average hourly compensation.

Unit testing requires significantly less skill, time investment, and infrastructure than any other form of testing and almost any other form of verification. So anybody can pick it up and apply it to any project. That's why it's the go-to technique

Post details

One thing I've wondered about is why software folks so often use unit testing as their go-to testing technique. When I've worked at companies that ship few enough bugs that it would be considered a failure to have one serious bug in a year, unit testing has been a last resort.

*PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT* Please stop saying "This is giving me PTSD" or "This gave me PTSD" when it... didn't. It undermines what people with PTSD (like myself) actually have to go through on a day-to-day basis, and it's not because we saw someone wearing socks with Crocs.
