People have started to act as if they are perpetually on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or Instagram, places that have trained all of us to think our opinions are urgently needed at all times.

I am once again asking why are men

Really the dumbest trope. Exiting vim is easy.

Can we stop pretending like it’s difficult to exit Vim?

This is your periodic reminder that (a) “female” is an adjective and (b) the noun for “female human” is “woman”

What are some “tech” things (usually practices) where when you’ve “seen them, you can’t un-see them”? For me: * Test-driven development * Usability testing * Trunk-based development * High-quality alerting * Event-based monitoring * Probably also FP

The thing that I found most valuable - and most generally underrated - from learning TDD 5 years into my career is the art of developing by making lots of small, targeted commits that each deliver an increment but leave the codebase deployable. Multiple commits per day.

it's a bit counterintuitive, but the better-instrumented and the more mature your systems are, the fewer problems you'll find with automated alerting and the more you'll have to find by sifting around in production by hand.

I'm reminded of Clifford Stoll's "The Cuckoo's Egg" where he detected severe security vulnerabilities based on a monthly $0.25 accounting discrepancy that had no good explanation. Systems weren't falling over, nothing was tripping an alert but the system was subtly off-normal

Same with automated testing prior to deployment. This is a good thing though. Those hard problems were always there, you just never had time to look for them due to all the simpler issues taking up all your time.
