Lovely to meet lovely research software engineers after keynote at #ukrse19 and please do remember i was NOT joking about working with our team, we need great engineers to build valhalla [email protected] to e me and ebmdatalab.net/#blog to learn about our work
@bengoldacre closes his #ukrse19 keynote by challenging us in the @ResearchSoftEng community to be bold, persistant and more commercial in raising awareness and holding people to account for better research software practices like sharing the code

Black, your uncompromising #Python formatter, now lives under the PSF organization on GitHub! While we are just the first project under this new umbrella, I'm hearing we'll be soon joined by Requests as well. Sounds like good company :-) (1/2)

Yeah @TMZ websites that don't respect your privacy are bad. tmz.com/2019/06/28/steve-woz…

I asked the Google SWE:
👨🏿: Did you know that there is literally a class in Stanford's CS curriculum, that is basically "How to pass Google's Interview?"
👨🏼: Wait... what?! Really?
👨🏿: Yep! They spend the semester practicing. Here's the course details:

I talked to @nature about #RSEng careers earlier this month. I think I plugged everyone: @ucl for setting up the first group, @RSEConUK as the place to meet, and @ResearchSoftEng as the community (and @SoftwareSaved for starting it all).
#WorkingScientist podcast: @sjh5000 tells @JuliePCGould about the typical career path of a research software engineer, and how their skills can support researchers with limited coding skills. go.nature.com/2IDK852

A case study on the importance of software and #RSEng from @lisboncouncil. Great to see EU recognition for our work! @ResearchSoftEng, @SoftwareSaved ec.europa.eu/info/files/reco…
Congrats to everyone who worked on making this happen! 🎉
We are now the Society of Research Software Engineering! The Society has just been registered by the Charity Commission as an independent organisation to work for the improvements we all want to see. You will soon be able to join and shape the direction.

Research code is not a means to an end. It's a form of communication, like well-written prose, well-written code can engage your peers and create a community around your research. #CodeAsProse

Why are so many people complaining about Margaret Thatcher being on the new £50 note? Like any of us is going to have £50 after March. Fuck it, let them put Ian Huntley on it. We’ll never see it.
