Well that was an exciting couple of days. Love rambling on stage to people - ignite/lightning talks are a new kind of nervous energy, you don't have enough time for the adrenalin spike to stop before you're off the stage! Thoroughly enjoyed #DevOpsDaysLDN and looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions for next year!

One of the things about coming on mastodon is you’re never just scrolling around and come across a new kind of porn you’d never even imagined existed, it’s terrible

As you may have noticed, I’m in the middle of revamping my blog. It’s now a static site, run via Hugo and Cloudflare Pages. I was planning to use Disqus for comments, but changed my mind when I realised it meant ads and tracking. This led to a search for alternatives which ended in choosing Webmention.

Nothing like getting trolled by the linter I wrote 3 years ago in my past job. Damn you past Tim. These rules are harsh.

Bloke sits next to me on the train and whips out a book, and it’s “A Brief History of the Roman Empire”. What is happening

COVID-19 was many people’s first introduction to the working-from-home experience. I’ve been lucky enough to have been working from home exclusively since 2009 and at US-based companies (e.g. GitHub) since 2012. I’ve also been an EU-based open-source maintainer since 2007 and maintaining the globally-distributed Homebrew package manager since 2009. These experiences have helped me learn some tips on how to be more effective working remotely that I’d like to share with you:

Something something about once you're a nazi bar you're always a nazi bar.

After almost 2 years of development, learning, and growth, we’re finally launching Graphite out of beta! But what does it actually mean to launch?

Very convenient for me that every security question that most websites ask for is exactly the same info in the little info box on Wikipedia. I could just make a little tool to automatically fill them in. For security.

I love a good refactoring - picking things apart, reviewing the domain model, incrementally whittling away bits of cruft the code has acquired over time. It feels peaceful too; relaxing. Getting it to the nitty gritty of the value so myself and my team can work more effectively and accurately.

❤️ that thing where you get an email and it's not from a gmail address but from a custom domain and you think oh cool let me check out if they have a personal website and then they do and it's FUCKING AMAZING

Dear reader, Welcome to the last letter. I couldn’t have imagined what would happen when I penned my first letter 5 years ago. (I still think you should learn version control, for the record.…

I say "when COVID stopped being a priority" where other folks say "post-COVID" or sometimes "when the money ran out"

Please don't say "After the pandemic" or "Post-covid world". Don't use phrasing that reinforces the idea that the pandemic is over and it's all in the past. It is not. Say "post lockdowns", "After the initial response", "since public health measures expired", "during the global emergency phase", "while schools were closed". Use accurate terms for what you mean, don't erase this gigantic ongoing issue. Don't gaslight more. Remember that language is powerful and #CovidIsNotOver

Happy Bisexual Awareness Week! Celebrate with us by - sitting on chairs weird - getting into an argument over the definition of pansexuality - watching The Mummy (1999) and thirsting after all the main characters - agonizing over your queerness in hypothetical straight passing relationship - thinking “brain, them?! Really?” Enjoy!
