How good was the first drawing you ever made? Most consumable software is the first time that group of people has ever written that kind of app. Practice coding what you want to release because the first time you get it to work, its not going to be very good.


Manually tested yamlbash: an industry standard for mission-critical infrastructure.


If your dev tools can warn you when a value that doesn't exist was referenced and you didn't have to run that branch of your program, you're building software with technology from at most 50 years ago. Somehow, new tools still come out that make me play the guessing game.


When you choose a programming language for your application, you attach that language's ethos to your product. If you choose Python, every line of code you write is your user interface.


Leaders publish articles not only to share the thought behind their work, but because the writing process itself guides ideas to maturity.


When I have coffee I forget to eat lunch. Hello 3pm.


I got new 4k monitors AND cleaned my glasses. Everything is so pretty.


I'm excited to announce that today was my first day as an engineer @fishtowndata. I'll be working on @getdbt to empower analysts all over the world. 🚀


Finished up my first #PureScript app! It's a birthday present for my mom that generates one of her favorite puzzles, Wordoku. It's a sudoku with letters where the diagonal forms an English word. Print and play at sudoku.nathanielmay.com.

Apparently as of 2019, 1/357th of the world's electricity consumption went to Bitcoin. forbes.com/sites/niallmcc…


If a language allows you to easily express whatever you want, it is just as easy to express everything you don't want.


Learning #PureScript has actually been really fun, but I seriously miss laziness. #Haskell

Excellent story. Everything in the US links back to slavery.

The US election is tomorrow.  If you, like me, are tired of horse-race-style reporting, and need to zoom out, I wanna tell you a story. It’s about an ancient force influencing the election. And, as a bonus, it’ll give you an Easter egg to watch for as the returns come in. THREAD

Having been on both sides of the interview table, I highly recommend you take this advice.

Job Interview Pro tip: When they ask you what questions you have, one of the best questions to ask is "What hesitations do you have about hiring me?" And when you hear the answer, address those hesitations head on as best as you can, ideally with examples.

I have Type 1 diabetes. I am healthy enough to run ultramarathons. If I get attacked by a bear & the ICU has trouble managing my blood sugar while caring for my bear attack wounds...and I die... the bear is the cause of my death. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. #COVID19


Have an idea for an app? First figure out how to build it without an app. Most "apps" were just people with landlines and notebooks for the last hundred years.

If your vote didn’t matter so much, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to keep you from voting.


Excited for a fun Saturday afternoon!
