@_Tomalak Damn :/

@_Tomalak I know some people that believe in
tools like these, and that you "have to use them in the right way". "But what is
the right way?" I ask. crickets.wav

@_Tomalak When I first encountered SAFe, I
thought it was satire...

Someone interested in a writeup on how I integration-test code that delivers
webhooks on @awscloud?

@benjamin I liked the temperature vs time
findings very interesting. It also explains why you can tell the difference
between a real oven-baked pizza and one from an electrical oven.

@nonfragil Product Owner = jemand der
Anforderungen sammelt und in Abstimmung mit anderen priorisiert. Das ist keine
unwichtige Aufgabe, aber auch nicht Rocket Science.

@nonfragil In der IT hat alles einen fancy
Titel, die aber in der Regel relativ sinnbefreit sind.

@RidingWolf We have that figured out here in
Trondheim: perfect sunshine and 25° on the weekend, now cloudy and below 20
today.

"There is a bug in this blacklist" sounds like a normal thing a programmer would
say, but is it really normal? In this great talk @brittanystoroz looks into the
terms we use in our profession and how they limit other's ability to understand:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdTxGB9LDP7a6ITru7RPbmygfTrcImzoBGv2-nYB3KgqS1x0g/viewform
This conference checks all the awesomeness boxes! 🌈 diverse speaker lineup
because ✈️ they cover travel expenses and 💶 pay the speakers out of the surplus
💪 since it's a non-profit conference.

I attended this year and here is my blog post about the experience:

@rradczewski We also have the Genius F100
Widecam
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0080CE5M4/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_RnjpBb1XN2DJT here,
but the picture quality there is not awesome, and it has no auto-focus. But it's
wiiiide.

@rradczewski Wait, non-wide angle?! I
thought you needed moar angle.

@rinkkasatiainen We'll be there 14-16th
of September with @NordicTweets ...

I made this GIF today for my @NordicTweets
colleagues over in 'Merica and it sums up perfectly how I see that country:

@toggleModal worst UX ever-

"mainstream" also sounds right to might ...

@toggleModal But you have a great website,
which would be the a link in your intro text. Done.

Commit early, commit often:

@miskaknapek I don't get it ...

@miskaknapek Since it is part of the commit,
any way you can display it easily. The GitHub blame view does that.

@gr2m @getsentry is
free for low usage.

@gr2m @getsentry I
can decide what to send to sentry ...

@gr2m @getsentry
Maybe AWS CloudWatch logs is cheaper then, if you log JSON you can query logs
and configure Alerts. Free tier is big and then it's 50 cent / GB traffic.
https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/pricing/

@gr2m I use it daily, but it takes a while to get to
know it. I agree, it is not very userfriendly.

@Ocramius
@markus1189 Haha! I happily add to the
dumpster fire of markup languages: n ways to write multi-line strings. Refs,
who-the-fuck thought we need that in a human readable-format. Indentation as
syntax.

@reconbot @gr2m
What's shitty about search in CloudWatch logs for you?

He might be coining a new term: XI - Extreme Integration

How do you know that you code actually works, if it is not running in
production? https://twitter.com/Ookami86/status/1015140344894296064

@reconbot @gr2m Ah,
I see. I have alerts for errors (so I get the relevant details most of the time)
and max lifetime of production logs of 30 days, so I haven't seen these problems
yet.

@Bahnhofsoma Der ist so süß, der Kleine ...

On the weekend I hiked up to Vasfjellet, a 700m high mountaintop in the south of
#Trondheim 🇳🇴 and had a fantastic view!

The dickheads of @BlockchainHelix are
sending unsolicited marketing emails. No wonder, the are getting "consulted" by

@johncutlefish We won't come far in this
discussion, if we don't bring our own ideas into it. We need to give architects
material to work with.

That's why I created this "Office design by an office hater" a while back:

First time I built a static site using @gatsbyjs and it was a great experience:
you can use #React, have content from Markdown, a great developer experience,
and when done, it spits out a super fast static site. 👏

@GDGTrondheim. Thank you
@Zedge for sponsoring pizza and drinks!

https://www.flare.no is now in the app store and offers users the ability to
send an emergency distress signal to other nearby users. This should prevent
dangerous situations from becoming even worse.

According to the founder the idea came out of the event where a woman was raped
here in #Trondheim 🇳🇴 while thousands of people were just a few meters away. 1
in 10 Norwegian women becomes a rape victim, he said.

I would not have expected that there is a need here. 😮 For instance, when I'm
hiking I see women hiking alone all the time.

Norwegian hospitality: "There is more food and beer!" 10mins later: "Are you
staying all night?!"

The police in Trondheim likes the app. They say that drawing attention will
oftentimes prevent a crime.

https://status.npmjs.org/incidents/dn7c1fgrr7ng "Further clarifying: npm will
revoke all tokens issued before 2018-07-12 12:30 UTC. If you rolled your tokens
after that time you will not need to re-issue them."

Damn. I have so many projects on Travis set up with semantic-release. Good
opportunity to do some spring cleaning.

Someone seeing education for what it is: a good investment.

It may be the best software developer compendium available today - my review of
Code Craft by Pete Goodliffe: https://coderbyheart.com/code-craft/

@dtanzer
@eugen_kiss
@jitterted Not yet, but will do!. One critique
I have is the simplified view of what Integration tests cover vs. unit tests.
@eugen_kiss uses this image which is IMO missing a third dimension. Integration
tests will not cover code in the same depth as integration tests.

@dtanzer
@eugen_kiss
@jitterted Because unit tests can cover cases
which might not be able to reach when running the code through an integration
test (e.g. a REST API in a layer above can filter out "bad requests", but when
using the code from a CLI I can pass arguments which different characteristics).

@tooky
@johncutlefish It does what it's supposed
to do, correct. It does its things in exactly one way. It separates business
concerns from low level storage and transport concerns. It can be changed, in
parts, without breaking others. It can be changed by many.
