What I do love from #pairing is that the lag between you evolve your mental model about the problem at hand, and you are able to communicate that to another team member is the shortest one. I can learn new stuff from the domain within minutes with a fast feedback loop as you gain when doing #TDD for example. But the important aspect is about how much time lapses between that little learning you had and the whole team is up to date to the enhanced model. That's why pairing + TDD is a super powerful combination of methodologies. Nowadays, if you combine with remote collaboration tools as #Miro, you are able to capture those learnings in a shared board that other colleagues can check in a regular basis.

Making a tech salary and still living paycheck to paycheck has been my life for the majority of my time in tech, and I want the narrative that it's not possible (or less likely) to be eliminated. Got paid yesterday and because of the fucking debt and expenses I have, I have $250 to my name. This is why I rail so hard for bringing up the floor on equality and stances.

Good luck to the OpenTF team, I hope Hashicorp does the right thing, but I believe they wont. I look forward to a new foundation managing a open source fork of Terraform. I appreciate the words of their manifesto! https://opentf.org/

Go 1.21 expands Go's commitment to backward compatibility, so that every new Go toolchain is the best possible implementation of older toolchain semantics as well.

Welp, I've now officially logged out of Deliveroo Blind, so if you see any posts that look like me, it ain't 😅
Instead of my usual TTY-based login on Linux, I've spent a bit of time trying to get LightDM/SDDM set up to allow me to use fingerprint-based login.
It turns out you don't even need to do that, pam_fprintd.so
can work as-is on the TTY 🥳

*columbo on the enterprise* The prime directive, huh? Sounds pretty important. I'm sure you guys are very careful not to break that one.

Reminder: All APIs *have a user interface*. The user is the developer who needs to interface with that API. Understand what your users need, and make it easy to understand and incorporate into their projects.

Remember that free software licenses are irrevocable - even if a vendor changes a project to a non-free license, the older versions continue to exist as free software. So while we should absolutely criticise vendors who take the work of others and make it non-free, we should also bear in mind that they gifted us the earlier versions in the first place, and cannot take that away again.

seeing a lot of total noobs at #defcon walking around with zero protection to a widely known vulnerability, just begging to get their systems infected with a viral exploit from over three years ago 🙄 really disappointing because the patch involves wearing a wicked cool face mask like a cyberpunk, though a cheap N95 also works if you've already spent all your money on an anti-RFID wallet or some other fancy everyday carry gizmo
Got a link to the project that I could possibly have a look at for OpenAPI'ing it up? 👀
