Spending time learning/reading about software development is an essential aspect of being a software developer. If all you do is code, no matter how well you code, you'll be mediocre at best. Allocate time for learning as a normal work activity. It's part of the dev process.
A brave individual, but is he alone in using videogame music for focus? I was an early adopter of white noise & ambient tone generators for programming solo. Essential for my C++ days 😄

Thank You to the 10,000 amazing people that have chosen to follow and/or interact with me during the last 6 years since I joined Twitter/X. I hope my slightly foggy stories about early videogame development have entertained you. Please Re-Tweet if you would like to see more! TTFN
@matt_p_cannon The soundtrack for burning rubber was unreal, I was 5 when my dad got an Amstrad out of a skip and fixed it for me.

Many of the software engineers I talked to told me that they practice TDD out of guilt. That's not right, we need a different way to think about TDD. I've been practising TDD for almost a decade, here's how I currently think about it:
This is a wonderful thread. Bookmark it and come back to it repeatedly!

30 years ago we were working on SNES 'Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge'. We had very little time for this project and had 3 very experienced coders on-board to get it done. Here's a FAX from production at Acclaim to give you a flavour of the pressure we were under 1/2
Do yourself a favor. If you have a domain model, don't attempt to manage message deduplication and sequence using Deduplicator and Resequencer patterns. Model the uncertainty. If you don't have a domain model, fix that. youtube.com/watch?v=uhZx7P…

Sextet, by Steve Reich (FULL PERFORMANCE)
Oh hey look, Dan North did another nice thing for software engineering. dannorth.net/2022/02/10/cup… CUPID to replace SOLID for meaningful general heuristics for quality.
Inspired by Bank of Georgia, I decided to add "terms of use" to my open source projects. 🇺🇦 Obviously this will not deter bad actors, but at least it gives me a sense of moral satisfaction. Any other OSS maintainers want to do something similar?
Never heard the term, "Porky decisiveness", until today.
Boris Johnson wrote that the most important thing in politics is to assemble "a disciplined and deluded collection of stooges” around himself. He said the stooges want "so much to believe" their relationship is special, that they shut out the truth. adambienkov.substack.com/p/boris-johnso…
"Agile" on LinkedIn and Twitter is just a never-ending rant from folks believing others are doing their jobs wrong.
Did you see Boris?
This is like the conversation that would come if the bloke in @DeanFriedman's Lucky Stars saw Lisa again. Nadine here stars as the bloke. "Did you see Boris? Yes I saw Boris - is that why you're angry? I wasn't angry.." 1/2
