I'm Bill Wake, interested in evolutionary design, agile software (specifically XP), mountain dulcimer, and more.

OK, I'm done with X/Twitter RIP. I won't be reading or posting here any more, except for a pinned post telling where to find me. (Mastodon:)

Twitch - I've made an 18-minute video summarizing this week's work on the kaleidoscope. We made it handle device rotation, we made it respect the boundary of the images, and we added file selection so you can choose which photo to show. youtu.be/HT3CNAg8g7Q

New Blog (repost) - "Reducing Dependencies Using Lambda" - When an object depends on another, it depends on the whole class. By refactoring to use a lambda, we can reduce that dependency to just the parameter and result types of a single function. xp123.com/articles/reduce-de…
