An #Darklands between shifts snapshot. Day and night at the Festival is fun but also exhausting.

Who needs friendship anyway? This is an interesting listen. I am interested to hear what other gay men think, particularly older ones like me. Do you have lots of friends? No friends? Is it difficult to make friends in the era of dating apps?

Light and shadow are so close together. Yesterday I had a wonderful day of ski touring in the finest powder and good weather. Today, I struggled uphill in fog and wind and then downhill through the worst kind of slush.

This two-day, hands-on workshop blends theory with practice in a real-world codebase. Yotdd #unittests #softwaredesign #softwarecrafting #xp to master the art of writing loosely coupled and highly maintainable automated developer tests.

Last week, I presented my talk "𝐞𝐗𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐖𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭” at devConf 2026. I had a lot of fun sharing one of my favourite topics with such an engaged and receptive audience.

#CBC on #CBCRadio had a great piece this morning about an #AutismNS #PokéCommunity club told with humour, sensitivity and with a real first voice perspective from the participants. I hope they put the segment online so I can share it. Great #radio #ErinMacInnis #xp

Tomorrow, I’ll be presenting "𝐞𝐗𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐖𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭” at 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟 2026. This talk is a deep dive into the origins and core practices of XP, and why these ideas are still very relevant today. Let’s reconnect with the principles that shaped modern technical practices.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Third attempt to get sediments from the "Unterer Eissee" beneath the Hallstätter Glacier, Austria. We carried our equipment three hours up, partially steep slopes and deep snow. In 1.5h, we dug a 1.6 m pit into the snow on the lake and moved c. 2.5 (metric) tonnes of snow with three avalanche rescue shovels, just to find out that what used to be the deepest part of the lake was dry. We still took 2 sediment cores, one of which was ruined by an adjacent stone. In 10h of field work, we further ruined one sediment corer, one snowshoe and a glove.

This is not what successful #fieldwork looks like...
