Want to do Continuous integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD)? Then avoid creating a bunch of non-prod environments. Here's why: Non-prod environments like QA, UAT, and Staging encourage “batching” work. This fights against CI and CD. Example: If you only have a dev and a production environment, you're forced to do CI and CD. Why? Because you can’t batch up work with just 2 environments. That’s a *good* thing. The constraint of few environments encourages desirable behaviors. 👍 “We shape our tools and then the tools shape us." - Winston Churchill

Time estimates: “Give me one sec” - Within the hour “I’ll be one minute” - An hour or two “I’m on it” - Maybe today "In a bit" - Sometime this week “It’s on my list” - Perhaps this month "Leave it with me" - Possibly never “If I have time” - Never

Finally completed the main story for #ZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom 🗡️ Took a decent amount of time and a lot of armour upgrades but what a spectacular ending!

Some of the biggest subreddits in existence, like, r/Music, are already down. It had 32M users. It’s shutting down indefinitely until Reddit reverses its policy.

Yesterday I found a new iPhone in the streets of Buenos Aires and realized that no, the most important feature is not the automatic code filling from messages, it’s this one. It saved a guy a new phone.

AI is going to permanently change how marketing works. If you're not paying attention, you're going to be out of a job pretty soon. I played around with ChatGPT (a new AI tool) recently. Here's how AI will change marketing forever:

I'm usually the type of engineer who won't die on any hill. I'll almost always answer "should I use ___" with "it depends." I can pretty much always find tradeoffs with anything. But I am absolutely convinced strict adherence to TDD is a complete waste of time.
