Dear programmers of all the apps I use: No I don't want to choose between DD/MM/YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY, I want the only sensible format which is YYYY-MM-DD.

You should aim to remove as many shell scripts from your CI/CD and deployment models as possible.
Re-write them in code.

When we choose TestAfter instead of TDD, what's the use of those tests? For whom?
They're useful IF we come back to that code, sometime LATER, possibly for someone ELSE. If and only IF they're good tests.
What's so great with TestAfter?

Somewhat eye opening day. Test driven development was cutting edge circa 1999. It is the basis of modern development. I can't imagine not using it. Hearing companies that don't use it, is like hearing companies go "have you heard of this new thing called Linux?" ... wtf?

Doing things right IS NOT an over-engineering.
Doing things "just in case" IS an over-engineering.

Made a tool for identifying which files always appear in the same commits, so you can spot coupling github.com/PurpleBooth/git-m…

Urgency breeds bad code.
When in a hurry less tests are written and less refactoring is done.
Eliminating urgency is a precondition to getting better code
Tom Oram retweeted
When is the best moment to improve some code?
Just before that code needs to be changed.

20 years ago today a bunch of people argued together on a mountain and put forth a website and it was used for some awesome things and some awful stuff and there was much ado about it
Happy anniversary

One of the things I learned from @KentBeck years ago was to see cohesion in terms of divergent change rates. If you have a class and there's a set of methods that you tend to change together while leaving others alone, that set of methods could be a separate responsibility.
