Devs: please delete your code. Don't leave it commented out, or just in the repo as functions and files and modules that don't get called. Delete it while you know what it was for, so that the next person doesn't have to figure it out. Source control never forgets it.

americans will freak out about coronavirus but not vaccinate their children, won't demand paid sick days, and oppose accessible healthcare. ok

why write tests when you can just write perfect code instead and it takes less effort

Hi, I’m a senior engineer. You might know me from my greatest hits “but *why* is it null?” “There is greater honor in deleting code than in writing more” And the chart-topping “let’s just walk over to them and ask”

Static site generator is all but done. Gonna take another day for an early version I can use for my own site. That took..a week's worth of the scraps of time I have for code? Proves I can produce from scratch when I have a clear goal. Why I can't I make the other ideas clearer?

At @gitlab we quickly discovered that the week after a summit, everyone would get sick. Fist bumps to replace handshakes and telling people to wash their hands were the first things we implemented. It’s hard to change automatic behavior. Many fist-handshakes were given 🤜 🤝

February 29th. Only happens once every 4 years. I think it’s a good day to test yearly subscriptions on services and see if they only renew every 4yr as well. 😈

I’m not trans and don’t have an opinion. I just wanted to say I’m grateful you post things like this publicly, so that allies like me can learn. Even if Twitter sometimes is full of garbage people.

I’ve been having a minor panic attack over how little I know compared to my peers in my role at Amazon.... yesterday I dove pretty deep into one of our most complicated and vital distributed systems and realized most of this stuff is just fancy words for really simple concepts.

My phone keeps correcting mansplaining to nansplaining and now I need some nansplaining in my life. "Oh, you see dear, he broke up with you because you had sex with him. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

Thanks! What’s crazy is that if you made $10,000 an hour and work 40 hours per week, it would take 6000 years to make that much money.

I have just been informed that locally “mocking cloud services” doesn’t mean what I thought it did and I owe @awscloud a stupendous apology.

Sometimes when I can’t figure out how to deploy an @awscloud service, I restrict an IAM user to just that service and check the keys in publicly just to see how the attacker configures it.

Being an adult seems to involve a lot of apologizing, before pledging you'll be less busy at a set future point that never comes.
