The language is incredibly powerful. It’s great for many things. But not everything.

I wouldn’t write a web server in PHP and deploy it to production.

But the fact that I could makes the language incredibly powerful.

Do you include built-in functions in your namespace “use” declarations or not? Why or why not?

The SOLID principles are backwards.

Starting with SRP produces confusion in software developers.

Starting with Dependency Inversion helps clarify why we have the L and the O and the S and the I.

All of SOLID stems from the dependency inversion principle. It's a shame that it's listed last.

The acronym should be DLOSI.

It’s all nice, well and wonderful to say “no one is above the law” and “justice for all” at the Trump decision.

But the truth is Trump isn’t being treated anywhere close to any other defendant.

What other defendant can travel to any state they choose after conviction? And most judges will impose prison on unrepentant convicts - what do you think the chances are of that here?

It’s long past time to treat Trump like any other defendant.

Why is it that so many people know backups are a good idea and yet they never practice with them until emergency strikes?

I think it's human nature. While we know disaster is a possibility, we also feel like disaster is never going to happen to us.

But emergencies can happen to us. So practicing and preparing for them is essential. A backup that's never tested is a prayer, not a practice.

@afilina no, accountability.

Justice happens after he’s sentenced and punished.

Accountability started when twelve people stood up in judgement.

We've all been there, where a project we worked on delivered late and broken.

How did your post-mortem go? Was it a true post-mortem or was it a finger-pointing session where everyone tried to avoid being pinned with responsibility?

Post-mortems are important. But they need to be focused on identifying root causes and finding solutions. They can't be finger-pointing sessions.

There's a huge advantage to choosing a boring stack over the new shiny: the boring stack has years if not decades of people talking about it on places like blogs, Stack Overflow and more, to help guide you when things go wrong.

Building exciting things doesn't require the new shiny.

"Boring", battle-tested tech can be lots of fun, too. And easier to fix, to boot.

Sarah-Savage.com: The danger of boolean flags in object methods https://sarah-savage.com/the-danger-of-boolean-flags-in-object-methods/

One week ago, I watched "20 Days in Mariupol", a gripping film when Russia started the full scale invasion of Ukraine.

At times, I had to pause watching it as it way too much.

The extraordinary cruelty of targeting civilian infrastructure made it even clearer to me that we're doing way too little to help them. Restricting what the Ukrainians can hit is stupid policy.

Any strike on a civilian target MUST be able to result in an appropriate response. Make the suckers pay for it.

@derickr intentionally striking civilian infrastructure is a war crime and has been for a long time. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

sarah,
@sarah@phpc.social avatar

@derickr @saramg @Crell I agree. Legitimate military targets include these things and should not be off limits to Ukrainian attacks.

I draw the line at bombing a shopping mall though, as an example.

MATH FUN!

Because there are always pregnant people, the average number of skeletons in a body is greater than one

sarah,
@sarah@phpc.social avatar

@nutjob4life @Girgias also if you count each month of a pregnancy as producing a fractional human approaching 1 at delivery, the number of humans on earth is theoretically not a whole number.

(Caveat: I’m not making any opinion here on abortion politics. Just having fun with math)
