The BBC: The far right are making gains in Europe. Should we be worried? Also the BBC: Here's Nigel Farage for the 45th time this week explaining why refugees want to come over here & fuck your cat

incredible indictment that everyone is desperately looking for somewhere to meet and talk to people, and no one has even mentioned Zuckerberg's $70bn metaverse

I can’t stop laughing. Imagine spending 44 billion dollars just to get fact checked by the thing you bought 🤣🤣🤣

In legacy software development I often see the same mistakes being made over and over again. 🤦‍♂️ But I guess it is hard to the right thing, because the solution is in doing what contradicts the intuition. A thread 🧵 👇 1/8

Incredible how most engineering managers don't realize how measuring developer productivity by visualizing JIRA+git stats is a dead-end if you want truly high-performing teams. This path works just like mandating that teams use Scrum. Yes: it helps bad teams get better.

Love it. A porpoising spoon. Well done, @AlbertFabrega

And now, @AlbertFabrega will explain in excruciating detail why the Mercedes W13 cannot yet fight for victory... 😅 (via @VortexF1podcast)

If you work diligently on the same codebase for a couple of years, things do get less shit

amazed, and apparently all done by one Anil Reddy! 🙇 Pockit.ai is a new kind of computer made for the physical world. On top of its powerful, versatile Core, you can attach modular Blocks and interact with the world in your own unique way. youtube.com/watch?v=b3F9OtH2…

Fun #F1 fact: just as the Millennium Falcon designer was inspired by a hamburger and an olive, the @MercedesAMGF1 #W13 designers were inspired by a crinkle cut chip

IMO, technology selection is entirely up to the teams. There should be no central authority making those decisions and imposing them on everybody else. Instead, the teams need to collaborate. Start small; add incrementally; communicate constantly; if you get it wrong, fix it.

You could make significant progress acting on the assumption of the opposite of these items

There are a few pervasive fallacies that make software hard: 1. We need accurate, precise estimates 2. Low output is motivation-based 3. We need to get more work started 4. Throughput comes from isolated individual coders 5. We need to program faster

Educating a team slows you down for a week or two. Not educating the team slows you down forever. Time spent in learning is never wasted.

Hi I’m a software engineer at Spotify and have been programming professionally for 6 years. I also have a computer science degree. I still struggle with foundational programming concepts sometimes. And it doesn’t make me any less of a developer 💁🏻‍♀️

Happy 25th birthday to Quake! Quake was a tough game to make, but it turned out great. The team worked hard to get this game out with the features we wanted in: a full 3D texture-mapped world, internet multiplayer, in-game console with lots of changeable variables (1/2)
