Happy Halloween from me and this little pumpkin 🎃

No matter how you feel about Halloween, at least we can all celebrate the fact that people are wearing masks for once

Honestly, I’ve been tempted for years to gather together a bunch of nerds with complex or chronic health challenges and have us define the appropriate micro format for medical records and then just start insistently getting everyone to provide API access to our info

The NHS now has a “summary patient record” format which wouldn’t be a terrible starting point I think.

#mundaneHalloween was started in Japan by people who instead of the flashy costumes, dress up in mundane, everyday costumes. The costumes that you have to explain to people and then they say, ooooh I get it. #halloweenCostume Banksy, remote-controlling his shredder at the auction

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

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.

“In the metaverse, you can decide when you need to take a break and teleport to a private bubble to be alone.” Eating lunch and watching this. And weeping.

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.
