This is a post I've had bubbling for a while, on #feminism: Why I have personally embraced it, why I encourage you to, and how it can explain why your “#agile transformation” is probably going to fail.

Reconciling uber bank transactions after a work trip is a total shit-show. Weird "pending" transactions that are refunded again same day, odd little sub-$2 transactions that don't add up to anything meaningful.

What gives? Is there a way to avoid this bureaucratic hell?

Don't tell me to walk, you can't always walk.

Excited to announce that @tenderlove and I have released the first brand-new test runner for Ruby in… a decade? Longer?

It's called TLDR and you're going to have very strong opinions about it: https://blog.testdouble.com/posts/2023-10-03-introducing-the-tldr-ruby-test-framework/

It's interesting how much confidentially corporations insist on, in various ways.

Does this kind of secrecy help us move forward as a society?

Looking for a really good summary of #BDD for non technical people.

I was just coaching some non-technical ScrumMasters, with the intent to help them understand Agile Eng Practices.

Focus on:

• Communication and agreement
• The joy of examples

What I find - badly written posts, designed for SEO that promote Outsourcing.

@mattwynne @lunivore

Psst bonus anyone know where to find Gojko and Dan here?

🧵 [1 / 4]

Digging through the #bluesky big-world backend code [1] . Impressions so far:

Pro: written in Go, not JavaScript
Con: almost nothing is documented

The code quality is abysmal. You can only guess from the file and function names what something might do, then trace through half the source tree to see if you guessed correctly.

tl;dr:

• Provide a sustainable livelihood for my family
• Enjoy a fulfilling, inclusive, creative and fun work environment
• Solve an important problem for society
• Contribute to the commons
• Teach others what I know
