I like to build up my teams with people that act and think like you. Sometimes I need a sniper and when I do I'll get one. But my teams need to be excited about building and running the systems that we make.

As a person that practiced pair programming in a professional setting for many years...this absolutely exists.

TDD is not a testing process. It is a design process. The tests are a secondary and beneficial artifact of the well designed software that comes from writing a test first.

Does the fact that this have no comments mean that it's just accepted as fact?

Please share the link to the full recording. I have never heard it.

The bleach story has been fact checked as false multiple times but I think you make an interesting point about accountability in govt. I don't think is realistic though. What should you do about things that are fluid? Should the current administration be held accountable for the "lies" they told about the vaccines and how they would prevent you from getting COVID? They represented them as facts.

> By avoiding dressing too fancy, wearing expensive jewelry and watches or prominently displaying the bank’s logo, they may go undetected and not catch the eye of a possible assailant. There have been horrendous acts of senseless violence perpetrated in the train stations, as well as the streets of the Big Apple.

This seems like a big part of the problem that remote work has solved.

The opposite could happen though. "Vaccination" allows for the virus to mutate to a more lethal strain since it does not sterilize the host. See Marek's disease: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marek's_disease

It's also not true technically. Safe is relative. People died and people fainted all the time...they were just far enough away that you didn't really hear about it.

I am in my 40s and the distances that I would ride my bike as a 10 year old are shocking when I consider my own 10 year old riding them. This is because I have more stories loaded into my subconscious about how dangerous it is. Has it always been dangerous? Has it always been safe?

I got a peek at the code.

if (aboutToCrash) { dont(); }

I see alot of business use excel as a way to not engage with IT teams since they can get very far without building true systems for the their needs. So I am not sure if this is a feature that will lead to further entrenching of excel into non-enterprise applications or will enable teams to more easily disconnect from excel as the tool to do all things. I guess time will tell.

IMHO...I think that there is so much waste in the lead-up work that comes before the programmers get their hands on it that it can be very satisfying to move out into the roles that prevent that waste and help the programmers make more valuable things.
