Here's something odd that I found on the beach. May I introduce you to the Cat Stone?

I made a little app: it sits in your notification area and strips all that utm_stuff=blah&utm_banner=ohno tracking link stuff off of links on your clipboard, so when you paste the link to your mates to share it, all that stuff is gone. Simple but useful! kryogenix.org/code/utm_no/

My app utm_no removes utm_whatever=blah tracking params from copied links. It COULD turn t.co links copied from twitter into real links, removing twitter tracking, but it must hit Twitter for that: a privacy problem. Would you want that?

I used it (with permission from the restorers) as a poster for a production of The Duchess of Malfi with @MasqueLatest . Felt like a great metaphor for the revealing of a woman stepping out from the grime of the patriarchy.

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.

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

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.

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. twitter.com/arclight/statu…

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

Honestly this is one of the things that keeps me from being social. Plus, I worry about being uninteresting as well as finding others uninteresting! I miss connection and hugs though.
