I’ve called four times, been hung up on once, transferred departments several times only to tell me that it’s not covered. Looks like insurance shopping starts early this year…

Smart people often write the worst code because they're more comfortable with complexity and have larger working memory. I've encountered this so many times in my career Don't write ✍️ code for the smart people. Assume the person looking at it cannot fit complexity in their head

A lot of formality and attention paid to "proper documentation" (i.e., the way user stories are written, the way acceptance criteria are written) seem to me attempts to create the perfect hand-off. That formality lessens as we collaborate more. Let's do that instead, yeah?

This is the website of a $50B company. Yours doesn't have to be perfect. Just ship it.

Have you ever heard the story of Gunkanjima Island off the coast of Japan? This small island was once the most densely populated place in the world. Today, it’s a complete ghost town. I wrote a 1 minute thread below on what happened 👇

I don't know if it is. In fact, it's arguably more correct. That component doesn't care about any of the other fields, so why is it type checking them?

So @Scott_Helme got hit with a DMCA takedown for sharing a letter from a patent troll that included his signature. Apparently it constitutes “personal biometric data” so it’s *very* important that you don’t RT this tweet that includes the signature. Do. Not. RT. 🍿 🍿 🍿 – at Gold Coast, Queensland
There's a document here filed 20 Jul 2011 that contains the same signature and is a matter of public record, so I don't know why he's so bothered about this one 🤷‍♂️ find-and-update.company-info…
