@MarcusBuffett @chessbookcom I love your software, and gladly pay for it. But it has been "down" for more than 12 hours now, without any info / status update. Could you shed some light on what's going on, and when your users might be able to use it again?

I've been musing on engagement and exertion in our professional lives. I think there's a correlation between rate of perceived effort and position on a growth S-curve. Using Borg's scale (6-20, 12=moderate, 19=v.hard) and reflecting on your professional exertion, where are you?

@KellyGWilson In "The Wisdom to Know the Difference" book, an early exercise invites reflection on what various aspects of life "mean" and "hope to mean" to the reader. I'm struggling to understand what you mean by "mean"! Eg what does my family "mean" to me? Can you help please?

I'm really proud of this: youtube.com/watch?v=wOCzfNmi… -- we built and launched a bricks and mortar business during the pandemic... @ExpressiveAudio - here's a little video we made about what we do.

I used to love to sit and work in the datacentre - I found the constant fan noise soothing. People thought I was very odd! As I read more about ADHD, and how closely the ADHD brain maps onto my own, I'm now starting to understand a lot of seemingly puzzling things like this.

This is incredibly timely - I've been having exactly these thoughts and discussions this week, and my personal experience closely mirrors that of @searls - excellent summary of my feelings on this subject right now.
I think it's time to discuss the efficacy of Pull Request Reviews as a way to ensure code quality and shared understanding on software teams. Here's a little thread on some of the experiences I've had in my career, why I think this matters, and what we can do about it.
This is absolutely brilliant - a must read for new managers and very experienced alike. Bravo @mipsytipsy charity.wtf/2021/01/23/quest…
Do you have experience of automated testing of payment pages, specifically handling 3-D Secure? I'm talking about real payments with real cards, rather than test envs with test cards. Any experiences, good or bad would be very interesting to me.
