Shouldn't be doing a shot for every time Sunak says "i’ve got a plan". Quite drunk already.

I think copy and paste should be disabled when programming not automated by #ai.

@matadan

That's a take!
Is this a subtoot responding to your previous boost? "You should write code yourself, and copy and paste is a sign you aren't doing your work"

@faassen TBH I don’t know what a subtoot is.

The more Sunak speaks, the more people can see the nasty man he truly is. The more he evades the question about calling the GE, the more devious and untrustworthy he appears. All good for Labour.

The FIA is losing it’s female chief, Natalie Robyn, days after welcoming a rapist into their fold at the Miami GP whilst Suzie Wolf is taking legal action against them for what appears to be some kind of misogynistically driven accusations. and the really need to clean up their acts. McLaren hiding behind being “non-political “ and FFS, Lando, why did you say that?

This is so stupid…

And the standard explicitly states that apostrophes are fine…

Everyone in really need to take a look at themselves and figure out why they think it was OK for a man already found guilty of rape and on criminal trial to be a VIP guest at the Miami GP. That includes who uncritically used it to get a line using “trumps” into the commentary. I’ve only seen the highlights but they didn’t include anything about what the women in F1 think about this. I thought F1 couldn’t sink much lower than It has but this is pretty down there.

might be a “non-political” organisation but are seemingly happy to associate with a rapist and current criminal defendant. Disgusting to see them welcome Trump into their garage as a VIP.

@matadan absolutely deplorable, and really disappointing. They were really beginning to grow on me, but that seemingly confirms my feelings that Zak probably is a trumpist

I’m happy to say that I have cast my votes for Sadiq Khan and Labour.

@samuelbell I tried this on my phone but the 2nd part won’t format correctly so can’t continue.

One top misconception about #TDD is that you should refactor the tests as you go. This means that you can delete some too. It’s like building an arch and then knocking out the supporting structure. The supports helped along the way but are no longer needed. It’s not true that “the best code is the code that was never written”. It is true that the best code modification is to delete it. Tests ensure that nothing unexpected happens once you have deleted that code.

There are some really great coders who don’t get #TDD and that’s OK but I wish they would not use that misunderstanding to just proclaim that it is useless. On the other hand we need to find a way to prove the usefulness without just saying that “you are holding it wrong”.

@matadan I'm not disagreeing with you, truthfully, I just find the lack of nuance and empathy in the age old TDD debate frustrating.

TDD has great value in the right situation, as do other approaches.

matadan,
@matadan@mastodon.social avatar

@davesmith00000 I think I said that in the original tweet BTW. I’m also lamenting the holy war around TDD.

This is a fantastic article. I’m glad someone voiced this. I have felt this way about Humane and their weird hubristic vibes from day 1.

Getting so upset about the planned obsolescence of your fave language always seemed odd to me TBH. Yes I’m now annoyed with Swift but Objective-C is not something I’d go back to. I wonder what language Humane developers use…

Imagine a world where you can have over $3,500 worth of kit and the best thing is a version of battleship from a 9+ year old app, the feeling of someone standing up near you, and an ad for Gucci. Listen to @atpfm for context.
And yet this is not the worst tech product launch this year… I want @caseyliss to find the good in the Humane AI pin because nobody else can.

@matadan that’s a really uncharitable read of what I was saying, fwiw

The Vision Pro makes things possible that weren’t before it existed.

matadan,
@matadan@mastodon.social avatar

@caseyliss ouch. I didn’t mean to be uncharitable. It’s not your fault that there is so little AVP content at launch.

I’m attending London Games Festival today. Open for chats and catchups… is it too early to be looking forward to a pint?
