The best systems I've worked on in my career, the ones with the fewest bugs, the best maintainability, and the best user experience, all share one trait.

Enforcing data quality was the topmost architectural tenet. They do not allow corrupt data to enter the system.

If corrupt data sneaks by, the data layer sequesters it and prevents it from leaking back out in corrupt formats.

I'm currently setting up a free, managed certificate for one of my websites.

I remember when I owned a web development company, a lot of the small businesses we worked with had a hard time affording Verisign SSL certificates. It took us far too long as an industry to reach the point of secure sites everywhere.

The day has finally arrived.

I need to buy a USB wall adapter, because I got rid of all of my surplus adapters and now a new device needs one and didn't come with one.

This is one of my better saves in #RocketLeague. It's an unusual one too. This was at the beginning of overtime, and we went on to win.

Now that’s unusual! My last 2 fill-ups for my car were exactly 13.484 gallons. Both times, I simply filled it up.

Back in March, I submitted a "bug" to Graphic Packaging, the makers of the "ecotainer" coffee cup lids. I reported that the vent hole was too small and this led to the lids not having sufficient air flow, causing the lid to "pop" when sipping a drink from them.

I just made a coffee at work and the lids now have a larger vent hole. They apparently fixed the "bug"! 🎉

Me: "Sure thing. I'm Jeff."

The R that fell off from “Remodeling” is one thing, but running out of room for the N at the end of “Construction” had me laughing out loud.

What’s your best joke about this?

Instead of Google Ads, I should sell ad space directly on individual blog posts. It would probably net me more in the long run. It would also be less intrusive.

It's about time! https://www.indictedyet.com/ finally got the update we've all been waiting for.

In 2001-02 during my consulting days, I built a web app that was running a profitable business. The customer wanted a feature he couldn’t afford, so he went bargain shopping.

The new folks didn’t know .NET, so they rewrote the whole app in Classic ASP and simplified the layering. They eliminated the Business Logic Layer, except that logic just went poof instead of moving into the UI or Data Access layers.

The company was out of business a month after that deployment.

This is a subtweet.

#Wordle 712 X/6*. Streak broken at 151. Tough one, and the correct word ended up being the only remaining possibility after my 6th guess. Ouch.

I made a boo-boo with my contacts. Turns out I'd had my phone syncing contacts to a defunct google account as the default. I removed that account from my phone, and poof, gone and nowhere to be recovered from.

Do you ever delete people from your contacts list?
