I just discovered I go blocked by somebody whose opinion and posts I highly value.

Since can't imagine (or remember) which interaction might have triggered this course of action, I tried to reconstruct our last interaction(s) from web searches, and discovered the following:

(a) This is practically impossible to find past interaction with specific accounts.

(b) A couple of other accounts *I* have been following formerly which now block me without me remembering any untowards interaction with them.

This all makes me unexpectedly sad.

I think I'll put in another Mastodon moratorium for an indeterminate length of time.

Looking back, Mastodon did not really work for me, with what I'd term "meaningful" connections. This very likely the way my mind works.

If anybody can recommend communities related to #lisp, #agile, #softwareengineering or #infosec, I'd appreciate if you could reply or DM. I am still missing connection there (after 2.5 years of Fedi, which should tell me something).

I just discovered that I got blocked by somebody whose opinion (and posts) I value --- for reasons I don't know.

On digging when our last interaction (most likely a post in one of his threads) was, I discovered 2 things:

(a) This is something that is difficult to find out in the Fedi.

(b) A couple of other accounts that blocked me and where I am equally not aware of any untowards interaction.

All this makes me unexpectedly sad and I think I'll now put in a Mastodon moratorium for an indeterminate length of time.

(What is true, is, that I am wasting too much time in the Fedi and WRT connecting to people it mostly doesn't work for me. If anybody knows of online-communities specifically related to #lisp, #infosec, #agile or general #softwareengineering OUTSIDE of the fedi, please send me a reply or DM. I am still missing those (after more than 2 year in Mastodon)).

"Pragmatism transforms respect from an abstract value into a practical tool for conflict resolution and team collaboration."

I find that the issue Kent Beck talks about here:

https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/why-tdd-doesnt-lead-to-dumb-code

... is very fundamental to TDD and centers around a couple of commonly missed aspects of it (even though they are spelled out in Test Driven Development by Example)

1- When passing the test, there is a Fake It approach you can take if you don't see the Obvious Implementation right away before you move on to Triangulation and add more tests.

2- When you are using Fake It, the Refactoring step is not primarily about making the code "nicer", but generalizing by removing the duplication between the test and the production code. This is only refactoring in the sense that you are staying green. That's why the step is not optional and getting to green using the simplest, naive implementation is a core part of the process.

I think not using Fake It is one of the two main reasons people fail with TDD (the other is not making writing more testable code a design goal.)
