Thanks, @GOTOcon. I enjoyed sharing my thoughts and, more importantly, the audience's feedback indicated they liked hearing them
Over time, #software rots. Unanticipated changes in directions not originally foreseen or obsolescence of dependencies can cause software to rot. What can we do?
@S2IL explores ways to gradually improve the technical hygiene of the software you create

Happy to see other @GOTOcon speakers in this video. @zhamakd 's work is pioneering. I've learned a lot from her.
As the calendar winds down, it's fitting we take a good look at all the innovations of 2022 and what could disrupt the #software industry in the coming years!
Here’s our #HolidaySpecial featuring @hannes_lowette @S2IL, @holly_cummins & @lucamaraschi

Looking forward to speaking at @jconfdev Chicago next month on "Generics in adulthood".

Had a blast talking with @davefarley on the @GOTOcon book club.
"By making computers and software more accessible, and improving the quality of technology, we lowered the bar. You don't need to be a genius to write software anymore."
#GOTObookclub strikes again with another episode featuring @S2IL & @davefarley77

This is a chicken-seller in #Pakistan. Seems he has more political sense than most. ❤ the T-shirt.
Yes, that is a key takeaway from not just my book, but #tdd itself. Many thanks, @mmarino92
One of my biggest takeaways from @S2IL's book on TDD is that TDD is really about driving the *design* of our code, and not its correctness. "If TDD were only about testing, we couldn’t really mount an effective case for writing tests before [...] the business code is written."
Want to decipher a T-shirt while watching two #tdd gearheads talk about software, brooms, and restaurants? Watch this #GOTObookclub episode.

For a #SAAS team/company, it's painful to see your services' status page like this.
However, it's *much* more painful if you can't see your services' status at all.
Lots of lessons here, including "build #observability and #telemetry in your services".

You may think test-driven development wouldn't work in your preferred programming language, or that it would disrupt your code writing...this #GOTObookclub ep. based on "Learning Test-Driven Development" book proves otherwise...
Full ep. with @S2IL & @davefarley77 live on Apr 14
With #TDD, we move in the same direction but not necessarily at the same pace.
@PaulB5g makes a good point about chap 3 of my book; even though any non-0 value fails the existing test.
The goal of TDD isn't to force us to go slow or fast; rather at a pace we find comfortable.

Thanks, @PaulB5g. Look forward to more reflections from you on the book as you go through it

Stoked & humbled to get this letter of recognition from @ISBEnews.
Volunteering at Flossmoor School District 161 has been phenomenal. Thanks, @D161Supe, @principalAH, @gina_isabelli, Amabel Crawford, Haley Marti, Elizabeth Reich, & all teaching/non-teaching staff. You rock!
