Indycar last weekend at Texas was the perfect motor race imo. Also a great example of superspeedway oval racing done well. No silly gimmicks to artificially spice it up needed. Ending under yellow was fine, much prefer that than how F1 ended in Aus or NASCAR at COTA!

Testers of twitter - are there any communities of testers involved with infrastructure? And if one was to start one, who is interested in chatting about stuff like AWS, Azure, Terraform, Ansible, Montoring, Chaos Engineering, Security and Load Testing?
Personally I enjoyed following and cheering Caterham, Manor and HRT (and Arrows before them). Those F1 teams added to the sport for me. So its totally baffling how it can be perceived that Andretti (even just with a Renault engine, forget about Cadillac) is not a value add?

The last time I "logged a bug" was probably 10 years ago. I typically document or feedback improvements via comments/discussion if its something we can fix right now or write tickets for the backlog if its for later. Exception being a 3rd party and they ask for bug reports.
Yes please, the original had character development and plot arcs up there with Breaking Bad. A lot of scifi atm is disappointingly cynical and simple. More new Babylon 5 stories please! #B5onCWin23
The fate of the #Babylon5 pilot may be decided end of this month. Though much of @TheCW was bought by @NXSTMediaGroup the decision also rests heavily with @WarnerbrosTV. If fans want to show their support for B5 & let them know you want this to happen, now is the time #B5onCWin23
The "the customer didnt give us requirements" excuse is so tiresome. I appreciate a vague customer isnt nice to deal with but for me i consider 90% of software delivery to be about discovery. In a sense physically building software is the boring part most of the time

How old were you when you discovered that holding the shift key while hovering over a request on Chrome DevTools will highlight the initiator in green and dependencies in red? 😱
Thanks, @addyosmani, for the tip!
ALT Chrome DevTools screenshot where an initiator request appears highlighted in green and dependencies in red.
Bit of a weird coincidence that @Auralnauts made this mere days ago! youtu.be/Co-JrsNmzdw
I'm not a huge fan of Lewis and I've been entertained by Max's aggression but I have to say Lewis didn't do anything wrong today and Max was just going too far. Great season and amazing moments! Probably the most bitter, intense rivalry since Hill/Schumacher or Senna/Prost?

The more I think about it, the words "emit" and "omit" are so rarely used in English together in the same context? We refer to light being "emittted" but we don't refer to it being "omitted"? And they sound so similar its easy to see how they can be confused in another context.
Ah satisfying to join a team and within 2 days investigate and fix an issue which basically boiled down to a mis-reading of "emit" as "omit"! I can totally see how thats easily done, not great phrasing for this particular product, I can see how you can mistake one for the other.
Feel like i should do a little blog series on performance testing a data processing architecture as theres so much to think about, particularly when it involves queues, retries, multiple routes and complex payloads. But still can build up iteratively + theres lots of quick wins.
So satisfying to deliver yet another bit of devops work that both boosts how much performance testing i can achieve but also directly improve observability and operability. Mixing lots of knowledge together incl AWS cloudwatch, ansible, python, kafka, telegraf and grafana.
Finally got around to sharing a neat pattern I recently came up with to help generate more varied and realistic JSON payloads with Gatling for load testing. bestofthetest.blogspot.com/2…
Im really sick of the same old England fan/media attitude of "hope we dont get team X". Screw that, I want to see them play the best and win. If we arent prepared to play the best teams then we should just go home. Sports about competing to win not survival.
Something I've rambled about for a while now in blog form:
