My personal horror chart in @SmartBear's state
of Code Review report:

@Paratron
@SmartBear Better than Jira or better than
Office?

Your #blockchain is most likely vaporware:
http://merltech.org/blockchain-for-international-development-using-a-learning-agenda-to-address-knowledge-gaps/

I explained one of my #firstprinciples related to #git: Rebase and ideally
Squash instead of Merge for Pull Requests

https://github.com/coderbyheart/first-principles/issues/2

I think many developers shy away from rebasing because it regularly cannot be
done automatically and you need a bit of practice to get used to a rebase flow
and all it's interesting states (WTH is an empty commit?!). >
/status/1069176992564682752

@Maxwell_Dev wrote a very good detailed guide
on rebasing:
https://dev.to/maxwell_dev/the-git-rebase-introduction-i-wish-id-had and even
in there some of the more esoteric feeling things that can happen during a
rebase are not covered.

Learn by practicing this, and remember that you can always abort a rebase
safely. >

@Maxwell_Dev But if you are uncertain at
first remember to save your branch before rebasing. If you push it to origin
before a rebase attempt and you botch that rebase, you can do a git reset --hard
origin/my-branch and everything is nice again ;-)

@liran_tal I'm glad you liked it. It's
currently more of a braindump without real structure, but I try to make a habit
of going back to it every week or so.

Here are some of the findings in the State of Code Review report (
https://smartbear.com/resources/ebooks/the-state-of-code-review-2018/ ) from
@SmartBear that I found interesting.

I currently do a lot of Code Reviews and the Recommendations for Your Team which
the report provides at the end are good material!

> /status/1068884374568005633

(p. 7) Correlation between code review process satisfaction and code quality
satisfaction: I would totally agree. Tested software does not automatically mean
that it is high quality (readable, maintainable). I can spot man problems in
implementation which have 100% test coverage.

(p. 11) 60% review tests: when I make a code review I rarely look at the tests,
because I can tell from the implementation how testable the code is. It provides
no value for me to look at the test also because I know the purpose of the
implementation.

(p. 13) Use CR for Knowledge Sharing: I don't think it is a good tool for that,
since it happens after the fact, the code has already been written and that
makes it harder to make bigger or fundamental changes (redo all work). Pair
Programming is best to share knowledge.

(p. 14) Benefit of Code Review: Adherence to Coding Standards/Conventions - I
try not to make that part of a CR, that should be catched by automated tools and
linters. I have these rules as pre-commit hooks in the projects and also as part
of the CI run.

(p. 16): "We have not enough time to do Code Reviews": it's the same as with
technical debt. Code Reviews take time but reduce technical deb.

(p. 18) Reports / Metrics: I would love to see Code Coverage from tests in Pull
Requests. Also interesting would be Copy&Paste detection - I have nothing
against duplicate & modify, but I discourage having exact copies of code.
This can be hard to spot in larger changes.

@shochdoerfer Yes, I have that always
enabled:

git config --global pull.rebase true

@liran_tal Nice!

@storchp
@Paratron
@SmartBear Well if you look at the chart, Jira
seems to be the state of the art tool, because most people use it.

I think it is a horrible tool for requirements planning because it focuses on
issues and tasks (I know because I have to use Jira every day). >

@storchp
@Paratron
@SmartBear A good tool for RP focuses on
collaboration with all stakeholders and makes it easy especially for
non-technical users to contribute to the planning, and also offers good
visibility during all stages of the process. >

@storchp
@Paratron
@SmartBear I wrote about how I have set it up
in the past here:
https://coderbyheart.com/setting-up-a-product-management-process/

@Bahnhofsoma
@storchp
@Paratron
@SmartBear the other great
@Atlassian tool:
@trello.
https://coderbyheart.com/setting-up-a-product-management-process/

Localisation in Germany:

@makingthematrix I never use it, what
information does it give you?

Time to learn how to make Norwegian porridge with the Fjøsnissen: #trondheim 🇧🇻

https://youtu.be/v-eQfGSFdps

@tbroyer
@Maxwell_Dev True, but only one local backup
is no backup in my book.

@Paratron
@Bahnhofsoma
@storchp
@SmartBear
@Atlassian
@trello It sounds like you think in a lot of
Trello cards per story. There is only one story per card.

@edimoraru
@Paratron
@SmartBear True, but it's also the
possibilities of the tool that can limit the ways to collaborate. Jira has a
bias towards expressing everything in issues, issues can only be owned
(assigned) to one person,... These are decisions made by the tool, not by your
process.

@storchp
@Paratron
@SmartBear GitHib has projects which is
awesome, too.

@looneysquash
@starbuxman Agree, but with small PRs there is
usually not that much extra information anyway.

Also, for how long in the future are having individual commits useful.

The code is in the end what matters, not how it came to be.

@ArashShahkar Yes, but I think it is fine to erase certain irrelevant historical
data.

@Paratron
@Bahnhofsoma
@storchp
@SmartBear
@Atlassian
@trello What kind of task do you have in mind?

@edimoraru
@Paratron
@SmartBear No, I will never accept that "we can
just use Excel" because we will make it work.

@looneysquash
@starbuxman The history in the main branch
matters, especially for keeping the release history.

The example I have in the linked issue mentions baby-step commits (multiple
commits to get one small feature done). Noone needs that later.

@sag47
@looneysquash
@starbuxman This has recently been addressed
by GitHub with co-authored commits:
https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-commit-with-multiple-authors/

@Paratron
@Bahnhofsoma
@storchp
@SmartBear
@Atlassian
@trello That is too detailed and too job specific
to keep in one tool. It should be the person who is in charge of doing it that
keeps that list, in the way that suits them best. Keep in Trello what really
needs to be seen by all stakeholders.

@Paratron
@Bahnhofsoma
@storchp
@SmartBear
@Atlassian
@trello Good article series is this one:
https://medium.com/@mattbilotti/how-to-handle-bugs-backlog-prioritization-and-communication-with-the-burndown-framework-8ec8e559e85e

@Paratron
@Bahnhofsoma
@storchp
@SmartBear
@Atlassian
@trello Progress is shown through working
software/features delivered to production, everything else are bullshit metrics.

@Ookami86 @INNOQ Congratulations! Have an awesome
journey there!

I got some tips @NordicTweets how to improve
my workplace ergonomics and I now moved the screens further away (+15cm) and
also move the table higher so it fully supports my arms.

@miskaknapek
@NordicTweets This is actually Finland, the
Kiilopää mountain. Taken @codefreeze_fi...

@benjamin I honestly am very uncertain on what
qualifies as a principle. I think this will emerge after a while once I have
collected more of them.

@benjamin Right now this repo could also be
named: "Things Markus cares about so much that he writes them down so he can
link others to them because he is too lazy to explain them over and over again".

@benjamin TTS also has the ladder of leadership:
where the level of freedom is very context-specific. You could look at the
issues also with that model in mind.

@benjamin Some are very broad (like Reproducible
Builds = lvl 7) and some are very specific without a lot of room for
interpretation (keep code left = lvl 1).

@sag47
@looneysquash
@starbuxman No, I believe not. That would be a
good improvement @github.

@atomfrede
@NordicTweets Right! It's this one:
https://huntcoffee.com/product/coffee-grinder/

Imagine working on a 50 year old computer system:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2018/11/15/veterans-arent-getting-their-gi-bill-payments-because-vas-year-old-computer-system-broke/

@SmartBear Hm, I'm not on your side of the
table, so my questions would focus more on the social aspect of code reviews:

• what is good/bad behaviour from a reviewer
• what level of detail is preferred
• which tool enables collaboration on code best

@bahmutov Well deserved!

Are we finally getting a Microsoft Browser running on Linux?
https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-building-chromium-powered-web-browser-windows-10

I think our tools can get better to reduce stress, but we often take them as
given. >

Issue trackers like @Jira and
@github encourage issue reporters to add as many
issues as they like. What if instead issue trackers would show on the "create
issue" screen a linearized view of all issues, and what people are working on
now?

You could not select the priority from a list (major, minor, ...) but would be
forced to rank your issue within all existing issues because there can only be
one issue with priority 1, or 2, or 99. It's like having a kanban lane per team
member.

@saschadieter Makes it easier to test for
me, since I mainly work on Linux.

@tdpauw Is there a recording of your talk?

@EuroTestingConf I had more than one
great #ETCmoment, so I blogged about all of them here:
https://coderbyheart.com/european-testing-conference-2018/

Most important was that even being in the minority as a developer I felt very
included and welcome. The atmosphere was always very friendly and never hostile
or too opinionated.

@fhinkel @nodejs
Ohhh, I totally forgot that we have them now, my code looks so ugly without
them:

I got bitten today by a nasty #JavaScript thing:

const handler = async () => { try { return request(); } catch (err) { // I
wanted to handle request errors here // but since request returns a promise //
they won't get caught } };

The important change to make it work is:

• return request();

• return await request();

@datenreisender Yeah, but this will only
trigger if you have no awaits in the entire method.

@gfrancesco11
@i_basis The eSIM has not been standardized yet,
the process was actually halted:

AFAIK this SIM follows the specification and delives eSIM capabilities in a
traditional SIM form factor.

Which means that offering them instead of Foosball tables and fruit baskets
translate directly into spending less for salaries.

@VolkerGoebbels You could put it the other
way around. If these things I list are not available I will need a higher salary
to work for that company.

I am 38 and until now I was not able to use Nivea. Thank you
@Beiersdorf_AG for this gender bullshit.

@lux_lock @Beiersdorf_AG
@evenprimeandco From my personal
experience of using skin care products: this is not a question of gender but
much more complex. It annoys me that there needs to be everything for the two
most common sexes, because it's easy to market.

@AnnNat

@AnnNat I have hugs for you!

@Maggysche OMG. Epic present.

@jacek_smolak @lux_lock
@Beiersdorf_AG
@evenprimeandco It's not only men that
shave. It would be better and more inclusive to make a "Nivea: for shaved skin".

@EmmaWedekind Thank you that you put up with
this shit and keep presenting a different view on how an engineer looks like.
🙏💪

@EmmaWedekind It's your job, but with some
extra challenges I do not face as a white man. I appreciate this because I know
from talking to female engineers how this can wear down the joy in our line of
work.

I've just discovered, that @socracan has
announced the 2019 dates: April 25-28th, 2019

Change that is managed means it's forced and not understood. Only change that
emerges prevails. https://twitter.com/johncutlefish/status/1078046888086011904

Currently working on my talk about testing cloud-native systems, which will
premiere @EuroTestingConf in Valencia!
There are still tickets available, and I promise you that this conference is
something you do not want to miss! https://europeantestingconference.eu/2019/

Toller Lightning Talk von @mirjam_diala zum
Wieso und Wie des #testing im #Frontend: https://vimeo.com/304337030

Die Beispiele sind leicht verstaendlich und zeigen: Testen is' kein Hexenwerk
.... und es lohnt sich!

@liran_tal
@EuroTestingConf
@goldbergyoni Thanks, I'm really looking
forward to share this talk and see how others are approaching this.

@MaritvanDijk77

They say, when making a sculpture, you only need to cut that away from the block
that's not part of the sculpture.

When preparing a talk, you first build a solid block with a thousand great
ideas.

And then you need to cut away your own ideas down to a few. THAT really hurts.

@liran_tal
@EuroTestingConf
@goldbergyoni That comment made me add a
slide! Although I focus on e2e tests in this talk I still have tons of unit
tests. e2e tests will only cover the happy path and possible inputs are limited.
Unit tests are super valuable, because they are fast and located close to the
implementation.

65 slides and counting ./

@NativeWired Yes, I also thought that this
could be a good ebook. Will try this out, because it has a lot of code examples
which won't make it into the talk.

@YvesHanoulle True. I usually do well with
<1 slide / minute. This is a 30 min talk...

@e_p82 @davidpich
It's good that I will give this talk multiple times, so I can change the
emphasis depending on the audience. I can put the focal point on code for the
JavaScript folks, infrastructure details for DevOps people, and
approach/workflow for the testers.

@RidingWolf

@socracan any recommendations for good hotels
around the venue? Or is the conference hotel also a good option?

@socracan Woha, cool. I have never been to a
SoCraCan, and I have so many questions ;-)

@MIndfulTester
@melthetester Interesting idea to use a mind
map to drive a presentation and navigate to the slide(s) depending on the
audience!

@Ravetracer Twitter bietet ein viel höheres
Maß an Interaktivität mit den Followers, und es entwickeln sich sehr schnell
Diskussion weil auch andere schnell darauf aufmerksam werden (weil man sieht
wenn ein Followee einem Account antwortet, dem man auch folgt).

@Ravetracer Blogs sind sehr viel statischer
geworden.

Threads in Twitter lassen sich auch viel bequemer erstellen, man fängt mit
kleinen Teilen an, für einen Blog erwartet man schon eher eine in sich
geschlossene Abhandlung.

@Ravetracer Twitter hat das im UI auf der
Website und in der App bereits. Beim erstellen kann man mit ➕ weitere Tweets zu
einem Thread hinzufügen und alle auf einmal absenden.

Praktisch sind Threads nur Antworten auf einen vorigen Tweet.

This and the details about the process in
https://blog.usejournal.com/rethinking-how-we-interview-in-microsofts-developer-division-8f404cfd075a
really give a good idea why this price works so well, especially for candidates:
you get the opportunity to really show the way you think and approach new
problems, which is in the end what we hire engineers for!

In case you need a motivator for 2019 to apply as a speaker to conferences, let
me tell you this:

If you care about a topic, you should talk about it, not matter if you
consider yourself an expert, or not!
