“I do not design with Figma. He who designs with Figma has forgotten the face of his father. I design with my eye.

I do not code with an IDE. He who codes with his IDE has forgotten the face of his father. I code with my mind.

I do not push to staging. He who pushes to staging has forgotten the face of his father. I push to prod.”

--The Gunslinger, if Stephen King was full stack

#tech #softwaredevelopment

Needed: #PDX area front-end #developer willing to #volunteer time to teach and mentor a high school FIRST Robotics program.

The Tactics & Strategy wing of the Skyview Robotics program has been working on a data collection and reporting tool and could use some professional guidance. The mentor "stack" includes Product, UX Design, Data Analyst, and Dev Ops, but nobody to teach front-end coding.

We'll meet Tues and Thursday nights starting in the fall. Reach out for more info. Thanks!

Time for a re- #introduction! I’m a California native living in Los Angeles. I’ve worked on #SoftwareDevelopment teams for over 15 years now. I like to explore #Agile and experiment with #AgileMethodologies. You may find me tooting about those things, or about #houseplants, #cats, #sourdough, #baking, #macrame, #TVShows and #cyanotypes. Glad to be here!

Just came across this interview with Martin Fowler. He talks mostly about the beginning of the agile movement and important principles behind it.

Trying a new, slightly simplified recording setup for an experimental format based on my talk about #bonsai and #SoftwareDevelopment.
Not sure if you'll ever see one of the videos - as I've said, it's experimental, and I'm not sure if I can pull it off in a way that I like.

A grey video background in a room full of books. In front of the background, there is a chair and a table. Three video lights and two cameras are pointing to the chair.

I've wanted to write a post about Scrum for a while and here we go!

TL;DR: Focus on *outcomes*, not the *activity*, and push teams towards the right *behaviors* that deliver value to customers. 😉

New 📚 Release! Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Revolutionary Way to Learn Augmented Thinking by Edward Barnard #books #ebooks #softwaredevelopment #programming #ai #technology

Here are the (German) slides from my talk about #bonsai and #SoftwareDevelopment

Reading the #springboot 3.5 release notes one part make me smile a little:

"The heapdump actuator endpoint now defaults to access=NONE. The aims to help reduce the likelihood of a misconfiguration application leaking sensitive information."

Had to think about the #Volkswagen hack last year where this was an entry point.

Looks like the new default is way more secure.

Simple ≠ Simplistic. Explore the fine line between essential and accidental complexity in our upcoming workshop with Kevlin Henney. Perfect for developers and architects who want to master the art of sustainable code design. No laptop needed - just bring your curiosity: https://buff.ly/5k4Q7wb #SoftwareDevelopment

They're only principles if they make you say no to things that you would like to do. Otherwise, they are just sparkling theater.

What usually happens is that teams say "our principles are Empathy and Usability" while real decisions all happen upstream.

This is not an effective way of working, and will be detrimental in the long term. Real impact requires real #agility, which means delegating decisions downwards via good principles.

Refactoring Clojure

I really miss a platform where I could post "build this feature, fix this bug" jobs for random projects (that don't themselves already have targeted sponsorships) and find a well-rated Free, Libre, Open Source software developer (or designer, doc writer).

Ideally, crowd-funded.

Not in the sense of "I want to contract someone for long-term work"; I know how to do *that*, but individual smaller bounties for improving the projects I use often.

This is a two-panel meme talking about "Programmers before" and "Programmers now" for lulz. On the left, side we have "Programmers before," a muscular dog wearing sunglasses and a long black coat stands confidently like matrix character and below that image text is a bulleted list aw follows: * Take the red pill * Escape the Matrix * Rewrite the Matrix code * Fix a bug * Enter the Matrix again with the blue pill On the right, text reads "Programmers now," a smaller dog sits with a questioning expression. Below this image is the text that reads: "How do I exit Vim?"

"The waste of having processes that create defects and then use inspection to catch them is certainly something to avoid. A significant part of the effort in code reviews should be geared toward capturing learning that can be applied to current processes to improve them so fewer bugs are created in the future.

I like the scientific process, and, within #SoftwareDevelopment, the #agile process.

They are self correcting.

I wish science had a more central role in governance, but with the amount of disinformation, and unrealistic expectations on the medical/science community re: #covid, I don't think society is capable of trusting experts who say "we don't know", or "it depends".
