Morning #QConNY ! I just discovered that some of the session rooms have tables with fidget toys. Great conference UX, as always.

“I didn’t break the build; we, as a team, hadn’t sufficiently hardened our pipelines to prevent it.” Shared accountability and a commitment to learning and improvement are essential for effectively practicing continuous delivery. Excellent advice from Bryan Finster #QConNY

Are you a staff+ engineer who has recently changed company? I’m looking to set up some coffee chats with people to learn more about onboarding experiences and how people adapted to be successful in a new environment. Please retweet for visibility! Thanks #staffplus #TechJobs

I'm as disappointed about the google domains situation as anyone. But saying that this is a good reason to be sceptical of the cloud is a terrible take. How many people ever managed their DNS/registered domains using in-house infrastructure!?

See you later New York, it’s been a fantastic week at #QConNY but I’m looking forward to being back home with my family

I didn't quite manage 5 years without blogging, but it wasn't very far off... A brief note on QCon New York 2023 - ian-thomas.net/qcon-new-york-… #QConNY

My AirPods have a super annoying knack of only charging one ear piece in the case. Appreciate not the most pressing of issues, buts it’s really annoying when you want to go out for a run and only one works

Watching Rick Astley perform Highway To Hell is a Glastonbury highlight for the ages. Even if I only got to watch it via iPlayer 😜

I gave a technical presentation today and didn’t show a single line of code. #SoftwareEngineering

I'm going to frame this and put it on my office wall. Brings me much joy and amusement!

ITV using Hybrid's "True To Form" as the background music during the Rugby World Cup programming is a nice surprise!

Joe Marler is a national treasure

Enjoyed this one, and gmail put it in my priority inbox!

Bugs happen but it's rare you see a bug that grabs you so hard and makes you nod like a little dog.. CVE-2023-44487 did that for me good god what a bug and here's why

I picked up Leading Quality: How Great Leaders Delivery High-Quality Software and Accelerate Growth at the National Testing Conference last year and have constantly referred to it since. I particularly like how it presents Dan Ashby's manual vs automated testing framework

Infoshare DEV Katowice completed for today, thank you to everyone that came to hear me speak! Looking forward to travelling to Gdynia for part 2 #InfoshareDEV
