Blimey! It finally happened. At some point in the last few months, @Bitly closed down this privacy hole. You used to be able to add a + to *any* bitly URl to see *all* its statistics. Now you can only do it for your own links.

Post details

This is why we don't use bitly in our work. *Anyone* can add a + to the end of the URl and see where your traffic has come from. Are your users happy knowing you're leaking that data to the whole world?

Wrote a ton of Python today. Three main observations: 🐍 Wow. I really inexplicably hate python! 🐍 But I've improved hugely since doing my dissertation! 🐍 List comprehensions are chaotic good and I wish they were still part of the JS spec.

Enjoyed the latest Under the Radar. I’m dyslexic and struggle with maths. This held me back from working in software for years. In reality it’s never been an issue. Great to hear respected engineers @_DavidSmith and @marcoarment discuss their maths issues overcast.fm/+Fgnb6mmZg

having clinical depression is highly genetic which means there is a direct line between me and my one incredibly sad ancestor who was still hot enough to reproduce. I think of them often

Sometimes I think I’ve got my shit together and then I remember we still only have a cheese grater I won in a cracker

I'm noticing that my writing is changing for @CronWeekly. Instead of "reporting" on news/projects in a neutral fashion, I let my own opinions slide in more. Not sure if everyone appreciates this, but it's a heck of a lot more fun to write what *I* feel about things.

Working on the wedding website... 🤔 We first added the "no regrets" option, then decided another "yes" option would be fun 😂
