"Easy to assume that you are dumb and everyone else is smart. But in pair programming everyone has something to contribute, and nobody knows it all." - Laurie Williams and Robert R. Kessler

Верните непрерывную интеграцию разработчикам

Все знают аббревиатуру CI/CD. Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery - Непрерывная интеграция и Непрерывная поставка. Но едва ли можно найти более неправильно понимаемую нашей индустрией идею, чем непрерывная интеграция. Практика, которая была придумана, чтобы её делали разработчики, почему-то превратилась в объект работы девопсов, хотя к культуре DevOps ну вообще никакого отношения, по идее, иметь не должна. Так что вот вам статья про то, как так вышло, что сейчас под CI понимают что угодно, кроме того, чем она, на самом деле, является.

Pretty poor this from Universal.

Especially seeing as pre-orders have been open for months.

Hi We have just been informed by the record company that there is not enough stock to supply record shops with our pre-orders of the Nick Drake box sets ( both formats ) that are due out on 25th July. The release date hasn't changed but seemingly they have underestimated the popularity of the title. They will be manufacturing more copies, but we will have to wait several weeks after the current release date before we get our stock.

I rode by the site of last weekend's fire in Riverside State Park yesterday. Crews managed to stop it before it spread too far, and it looks like many of the Ponderosa pines may survive as well.

Sometimes I wonder if we should abandon story points and move to pain points. Maybe pain points are easier to estimate than complexity? #agile #xp #scrum

Got this for £1 today at the car boot sale. Any gems lurking in there I wonder? #vinyl #CarBootVinyl #45rpm #xp

A concertina type 45rpm record box. Quite a few singles in there, most loose with no covers.

Well, there are some good ones. Certainly some worth a lot more than I paid for them.

And then there is this one. Not entirely sure what it is but it has sold on Discogs for £120. Will need to research it!

First one recorded, one of the BASF CR-E II. Forces of Nature (Live At Sluggs), and it sounds excellent. Like new. Gives me hope for the rest of them.

Starting to buy up old decent quality cassettes when I see them to re-record. These were all less than £1 each. Time will tell if that’s a good investment!

The local paper's article on the fire:

Fire danger will continue to be high for the next few days.

#wildfire #Spokane #AubreyFire #xp

I've got a few post-evacuation actions to follow up on: to improve my offsite computer backup, to stand up a VPN endpoint and Home Assistant that doesn't depend on the NAS (which I had packed up and taken with us), and make a sprinkler setting to just run all of the irrigation on repeat. But all in all, the evacuation went smoothly, and most importantly, ended well.

#wildfire #Spokane #AubreyFire #xp

In the end, it was some disruption and time spent, but no immediate danger or loss of property. It actually turned out to be a good exercise in what we would need to grab and go in a future evacuation. We could have been out in 10 minutes if needed, but took longer to make sure we had what we wanted if we would be gone for a few days, not just what was essential. Many of our neighbors never left (the level 3 order was downgraded shortly after we had left).

#wildfire #Spokane #AubreyFire #xp

I had actually stopped to get a picture of the fire on the way home, right before the first evacuation order!

That was an interesting few hours! I was on my way home from a hike when I heard that there was a level 3 (“GO NOW”) evacuation order at home due to a nearby wildfire m. I got home 10 minutes later, helped load up the car with the dogs and our emergency stuff, and turned around and left. We spent a few hours at a friend’s house and out to dinner, as crews worked on the fire and the evacuation order was downgraded to Level 2 and then Level 1. We just decided to come home and all evacuation orders have been lifted now.

This REALLY annoys me. Don’t sell things for under your minimum amount. Happens more and more often now. All that happens is you lose a sale and a customer. #Discogs #vinyl #xp

Not seeing much love for the bass guitar for #LegendaryGuitarWork, so let’s address that with the undeniable all time best (don’t @ me).

Well. Maybe it’s me, but The 1975 do nothing for me at all. I might call it a night. Much better music coming tomorrow. Not least of all Amyl & The Sniffers 5pm on the Other Stage. #Glastonbury2025 #XP

Ok. Best thing so far tonight. Self Esteem absolutely superb. #XP #Glastonbury2025

“We use the word programming to include all phases of the development process (design, debugging, testing, ...), not just coding. So, pair programming would include pair design, pair debugging, pair testing, and so on. In fact, two studies have indicated that pairing is most important for analysis and design. We believe people should pair at any time during development, in particular when they are working on something that is complex.” - Laurie Williams & Robert Kessler

"So you can think really big thoughts and the leverage of having those big thoughts is just suddenly expanded enormously. I had this tweet, whatever, two years ago where I said 90% of my skills just went to zero dollars and 10% of my skills just went up a thousand X.

And this is exactly what I'm talking about. So Having a vision, being able to set milestones towards that vision, keeping track of a design to maintain the levels or control the levels of complexity as you go forward. Those are hugely leveraged skills now.
compared to I know where to put the ampersands and the stars and the brackets in Rust. You know, I'm programming in every language under the sun. And I just kind of don't care. I'm learning by osmosis. I'm learning about the languages. But, you know, and I was a language guy. I loved languages and the details of languages."
