Been away from social media and software development for a bit, but I'm happy to have just released the second alpha of the TestCentric GUI. And here's a blog post about it: charliepoole.org/technical/movi…

I call this Background Work. It scratches the curious engineer itch. It may never be useful. When it is, though, it's *really* useful.

Je n'ai pas l'habitude de le demander mais si vous pouviez retweeter ce thread, vous rendriez probablement service à des gens qui souffrent. // I don't often ask, but this once please please RT this thread for reach.

If you’re a company moaning about the #Log4J exploit, may I point out that the code was FREE, and that if you worry about things like security, perhaps you should contribute to the project? That’s the way that OS works. Parasites using w/o contributing have no right to complain.

If you don't test, someone else will. And their cost will be higher. Much higher. #development #testing

Names do matter...

This thread...

Great (re)introduction to #TDD for a new generation.

I like "nudge"! In early days, we often said "force", which is both false and non-agile.

I'll be speaking online at Lean Agile Global 6pm GMT tonight, on "Decision-Making for Grown-Ups" - my favourite modelling and thinking tools in one place. Join me if you can! meetup.com/lean-agile-lon…

If this site is going down I’m gonna say it. I like grades. Yeah, even in elementary school. I’m a competitive jerk and that stuff motivated me. I wouldn’t have been half as good at school as I was without grades and deadlines and the threat of being held back.

Mastodon might not be perfect, but I just experienced a billionaire come and hijack our communities and shoving his shit ideas down our throats. The people and the connections I made here are precious to me, and I hope we can recreate them in a platform immune to rich assholes

Phrases I don't like: Thought leader → I have zero interest in leading thoughts. Ppl should think for themselves. Technical expert → The list of things I don't know is infinite. Even if I know a bit more on some topic than you, I'm sure you know more on another topic than me

The amount of bureaucracy in a system is inversely proportional to the amount trust. Agile is all about minimizing the former and maximizing the latter.
