    I believe that the principles of good programming are more important than what language we code in. I'd rather work with well-written JavaScript than badly-written Smalltalk.

    A trans friend of mine said that after Twitter stopped banning trans harassment, it took only 12 hours before she started getting death threats. Do we have Free Speech if bullies are allowed to make people afraid to speak?

    post: We should justify efforts to improve internal quality of software based on its ability to reduce costs of future enhancements. It's a counter-intuitive view, but one that reflects our reality
    Is High Quality Software Worth the Cost?

    My younger self did not have "bookstore's data center causes widespread failures in vacuum cleaners" on his list of future events.

    I got my covid jab a few days ago, but it doesn't seem to be working. I still prefer separating my file paths with "/" rather than "\"

    I, like you, am fortunate to live in a community where police are not a problem. However many of my fellow Americans, including friends of mine, are not so fortunate. I think it is important to listen to their experiences.

    My feelings about Facebook are like those of Windows in the 90's. I use because everyone else does, but I don't like it

    I've been taking a break from work for the last few weeks, so missed much of the brouhaha over the McKinsey developer productivity article. But I'm sure that I could not write a better response than this one from @tastapod dannorth.net/mckinsey-revie…
