Very much enjoying @slsmithwell's talk at #TechNott about the many ways businesses mess things up with heavy reliance on metrics
The #TechNott announcement is here - they're running seasons, with three months of amazing speakers planned.
This is yet another thing to show why the tech community in #Nottingham is booming - it's like a monthly mini conference!
As @MrAndrew mentioned at #TechNott, @CapitalOneUK are hiring! Come have a chat about #LifeAtCapitalOne - we've got Software Development, Software Testing, Infrastructure Engineering, Management, Cyber Security and more at https://jobs.capitalone.co.uk

I'm seriously wondering if #WiTNotts this month decided that to mix things up, we'd have https://twitter.com/SorrisoLearning for some stand-up comedy. Great talk, and lots of really interesting things to think about
I'm such a fan of the "selfless plug [to my blog]" - https://twitter.com/SorrisoLearning is on-brand for me! #WiTNotts

Ok, so everyone knows I fight NCP (non consensual pornography, aka revenge porn), but to many- this is a very niche problem. Let me give you glimpse as to how big this issue is.Katelyn Bowden (@BadassBowden)Wed, 05 Feb 2020 14:38 GMT

You know how a maximum password length on a website is a tell tale sign that the developers store your password in either plain-text or an encrypted form? Yeah, not necessarily. Why would you impose a limit if you're storing a hash of the password?Anthony, SQL Sorcerer (@ofcAnthony)Wed, 05 Feb 2020 14:41 GMT

I've just received the #Spotify data I'd requested in https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/12/29/spotify-wrapped-data-request/ and am going to enjoy looking through all the data I've got from 2012-2020! I may even publish my own "Year in Review" of music.
Meant to share this a couple of weeks ago - this is really great, and was very timely after a presentation from a colleague about #Kotlin, and the fact that the data
class that Kotlin has is very cool. Still a while away from my own Java code but interesting nonetheless!
Also for folks coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham, beware that there aren't many places to charge laptops, so may be worth charging before you come!
Happy #HomebrewWebsiteClub day! I've already done some stuff on my site today - managed to do a quick tweak on the bus
Pretty happy with first few games of #ApexLegends season 4 - some good changes to things, map is different and I even played a couple of games with Revenant π - not sure I've sussed him out yet though
Anyone else seeing a weird issue where "tab closed" hangs around on #FirefoxPreview until you close another tab, then it disappears? V3.2.0 on Android 10

An older woman came into the bookstore today. I made a joke about a credit card reader issue and she said "these things are all programmed by twenty-five-year-old boys who don't comment their code" and somehow we ended up having a great conversation about programming and biases.

So I sorted my Webmention sending issue after an incredibly frustrating day of fighting with Jackson parsing my XML sitemap. I'm still not sure what the issue was, as I've ended up replacing my POJO with another one, but π€·π½ββοΈ at least Webmentions are sending again
