Teammate on most recent team gave me this parting feedback: “I learned a ton, we got lots done, our team dynamics were awesome, and I’ve never felt this kind of team feeling before.”

If your business makes software, I might be good for your business.

To me, #Mompou always sounds like he knows a secret. It can’t be explained, but it could glance sidewise off your brain until you recognize it in your own memories.

Maybe _that’s_ his secret.

@sevan@noc.social isn’t it lovely? (But the failed discussion on that LinkedIn thread helped me write the FAQ.)

“Running the same tests on the same code a second time offers no marginal benefit, costs twice as much, interrupts flow, discourages frequent small well-tested commits, and engenders learned helplessness.”

Not doing retrospectives? Sure, you’re missing opportunities for improvement. But mainly you’re practicing

- Not noticing things
- Not talking about what matters most
- Not deepening human relationships

Teams are always improving incrementally at something. Choose wisely.

“Please do not use and do not advertise that extension. It's going to cause damage to your teams and others'.” — Some person who never explained why or how

@reinhilde@bvq.umbrellix.org agreed (and on my list to figure out the needed config if someone using maven doesn’t beat me to it).

@reinhilde@bvq.umbrellix.org among my various open source projects, turns out it’s unusual for me to feel so sure that there are other people who should want to use it. Not sure whether that’s weird or totally par for the open course.

Do you like small commits? Do you _usually_ remember to run the tests first?

Make safe, tested commits faster with When All Tests Were Green, a JUnit 5 extension now available from Maven Central.

Still stuck using cvs for some things?

Probably not. But I am, and this little wrapper script lets me type cvs diff and get git-style output and paging. Name it cvs and put it in front of your PATH. https://github.com/schmonz/package-rebuild/blob/main/bin/pkgsrc-cvs-wrapper

A way to determine whether you’re developing an extension to a test framework: are you writing tests that create, remove, build, and run other tests?

Might have something bigger ready next week. Meanwhile, Mordasov No. 8, of which Google translates the title as “drawing, hoax, spoof, rag, leg-pull, send-up, practical joke”. I’d love to hear how a native speaker translates it. #pianominiature #mordasov

@FalkAppel@digitalcourage.social I got this far:

$ xq '.project.component[] | select(.["@name"] == "TestHistory") | .["history-entry"][]["@file"]'

But it doesn’t update anywhere near real time. Also I couldn’t see how to deduce green or not from the results.

Might just have to write my first IntelliJ plugin.

I have: a pre-commit hook that always runs the tests.

I want: a pre-commit hook that runs the tests if and only if they haven’t been run greenly in IntelliJ within the last minute.

I need: how to interrogate IntelliJ for this information.

Ideas? Anyone already done this?

The not-much-piano-time trend has held, so we’re back with another Mordasov miniature — this time No. 7 (“Old Motif”). Without fail, these tiny studies quickly teach me some basic jazz vernacular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5k08MhYQtU&list=PLkuryjnRFclTzNyap3TRgLtWxgQmbu5Am&index=20 #pianominiature #pianominiature #pianosolo #mordasov

Results from 5yo testing a Tesla:

- "Open the baby box" opens the glove box
- "Open the poop baby" opens the charge port
- "Do auto-steer to baby" sets climate control to auto
- "Turn on honk" sets air to recirculate

@GeePawHill I just don’t know anything about jazz yet. Always wanted to learn. These are tiny steps, so I’m able to take them. They’re very basic but very fun.
