June 2022

Good morning from a rainy #Trondheim 🇳🇴. On my way to
@nordictestdays to talk about firmware
end-to-end testing using real hardware and GitHub actions!

Already delayed, so let's see if I make the connection in Oslo.

@Jen_BMJ Oh, that's cool! Enjoy!

Made it Stockholm!

@Heimeshoff
@hamotsi I found many of the answers already very
meaningful.

TIL that if you are using Discord for private messaging, it leaks sensitive
information about these conversations:

Beautiful weather in #Stockholm 🇸🇪!

Arrived! #ntd2022 #tallinn 🇪🇪

@beriberikix
@nordictestdays I expect that this year
will be recorded as well:

@OliverStenbom
@nordictestdays 👋🏻 Let's meet at the gate
after leaving the plane.

The hotel has a SPA, so let's do some Sauna before the speakers dinner. #ntd2022

Great way to start a conference! I get a few
@codefreeze_fi feels! #ntd2022

That's an awesome location for #ntd2022! 😍

We are getting the #Tallinn 🇪🇪 city tour now. #ntd2022

This is St. Olaf's church, named after the Norwegian King Olaf, who is buried in
Nidarosdomen in ... Trondheim! 🇪🇪🇳🇴

LOL (Germans will know.)

Now for some food!

OMG the food here was amazing, and I got proper vegan dishes as well!

The toilets here are also pretty unique!

This is the bar Steve Balmer went to after Microsoft bought Skype.

This is supposed to be a national monument of a drink:

@NoraTSM Ah, I wasn't aware! In German it's like
a small pre school child would say it.

@gazebo_c
@olafurw Grenadier.

@NMoutschen Yes! Absolutely amazing hosts,
great food and drinks! https://www.oldehansa.ee/

@TonyBologni Not shopped:
https://www.politsei.ee/

@guna_lv I'm so excited for the conference!

@kohidave
@clare_liguori I think CF is already great
(in terms of what solves), but a feature I miss most is actually beyond its
scope: time to deploy. Ideally it should deploy 100x faster. Wish two would be
support for deploying lambdas from Typescript without needing to figure out the
packaging part.

Conference organizers, please put this on your CfP!
https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower/status/1532021508222111747

@w3ltraumpirat Can you show me where CDK
does that today?

@praneetaprakash
@kohidave
@clare_liguori That bundles everything in
one file. Which isn't awesome if I have many lambdas that share dependencies and
I want to use layers.

First day of #ntd2022, starting with @elarlang's
keynote: https://nordictestingdays.eu/program/

It's important to analyse a bug for the potential impact, so the severity is
understood by all stakeholders. #ntd2022

@w3ltraumpirat My point exactly. CDK, and
SAM are a start, but you still have to figure out a compilation pipeline when it
goes beyond simple Lambdas that use built-in dependencies. It's debatable
whether CF should solve that, but I think it would be a great feature.

@w3ltraumpirat Yes, I know. One small dev
can still have dreams.

Coffee break ... This is such a cool venue! #ntd2022

@w3ltraumpirat AWS Lambda could provide at
least one officially maintained toolchain, maybe even as a service. Because not
only do you have to solve compilation and layering, but ideally also artifact
re-use. I wrote about my needs here:
https://coderbyheart.com/how-i-package-typescript-lambdas-for-aws

@w3ltraumpirat I am working on a newer
version of that using esbuild. It takes a lambda handler file and resolves all
the npm dependencies and puts them in a layer, and bundles the dependencies from
within the project in the lambda ZIP file (as ES modules):
https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/asset-tracker-cloud-memfault-aws-js/blob/89bba67e7f32921d49d20f611030261bc97f1e01/cdk/memfault-integration.ts#L47

Now listening to Stefan Schenk who talks about mocking data for component
testing in a React application. https://sched.co/qDW1 #ntd2022

@w3ltraumpirat I have to check out the V2
version of that construct. Usually CDK constructs don't support async code
execution so having the build step in the place where the construct is created
would be preferred for me, but hasn't been possible before.

In this talk @maros_kutschy compares two
popular visual UI testing frameworks,
@Applitools and
@percy_io. #ntd2022

Great introduction to both tools and their basic usage.

Lawful good. https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/1532157559750410241

Great to be in a session about communication at #ntd2022. Natalia Romańska
speaks about active listening. https://sched.co/qDW4

Great tips, also love the slides! I often forget to paraphrase, and am pretty
bad at mirroring. #ntd2022

That slide is 🔥! https://twitter.com/AnjanaVakil/status/1532282559350046720

Now the first workshop: testing asynchronous applications with Calvin Moore and
@BlancheCarstens. #ntd2022

So, I hope I encourage @BlancheCarstens
to come out of her Twitter hiatus because she is trying to solve a massive
problem in South Africa: giving school kids access to computers and the
opportunity to learn about and with them. She's looking for ideas!

@BlancheCarstens Many schools don't have
computers, mostly because the are getting stolen because they are very valuable.
So one idea would be to distribute inexpensive micro:bits from
@microbit_edu, but also they require
computers or smartphones to program.

@BlancheCarstens
@microbit_edu Would be interesting to learn
from @teenscancode how they solve this
issue. They also work with the micro:bit:
https://www.nordicsemi.com/News/2021/09/Nordic-helps-back-digital-education-for-disadvantaged-students-in-Nigeria

And now it's time for the @nordictestdays
#ntd2022 manel.

Holy shit, this intro! https://youtu.be/FngDSOuCNAA

Dinner time! #ntd2022

Party time! #ntd2022

@maaretp I especially love that you come to
@SoCraTes_Conf!

Has someone already compared GitHub's Dependabot with
@renovatebot for projects with NPM
dependencies? https://twitter.com/GHchangelog/status/1532424580513599490

In the next session @maros_kutschy talks
about automating UI testing. Good to see BDD features being used here!
https://sched.co/106ZL #ntd2022

@maaretp
@SoCraTes_Conf I'm sure you will love it.
And I am also excited for two of my junior colleagues who will join the
foundation day and get to learn from you.

nRF Connect SDK 2.0.0 has been released and my personal highlight is the
experimental support for LwM2M with
@AVSystemCom as the endpoint. This will
significantly reduce power consumption compared to TLS+MQTT, so check it out and
help us make it stable.
https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.0.0/nrf/releases/release-notes-2.0.0.html#nrf9160-asset-tracker-v2

If you wonder, if I really wanted to call it out? Yes, absolutely. Everything
we do as part of a conference is political, and even as an attendee (or speaker
in my case) we have a choice what to do about this. Always.
https://twitter.com/NicolaLindgren/status/1532434753932120084

Had this "juice" and it tasted like shit. And because this shitty system does
not allow me to control the amount, a full glass went into the drain.

They got me at Firestarter - Prodigy and lost me at Slim Shady - Eminem #NTD2022

@NicolaLindgren just heard you will be at
https://sanae.beer/. I always wanted a reason to travel back to Vienna and
then to Czech republic 🤔

Cheers @nordictestdays! #NTD2022

@veltman
@ezagroba Similar, but in HTML they replicated
that spelling error:

@CorinnaBaldauf speaker queue?

@NicolaLindgren I have tickets for
@oredev, so there def!

@NicolaLindgren
@ron_werner says Hi!

This venue keeps on giving:

So there is a CHILDREN'S book about #testing, created in #Finland 🇫🇮 by
@kkakkonen and it's a beautiful hardcover that
aims to teach children the fun of finding bugs and improving software. We need
great testers, too, so definitely check it out!

@guna_lv
@nordictestdays It's a great crowd. I am
always happy when I am around people who invest time in themselves and come
together to share and learn. @smokienorful
does a great job of facilitating that!

They are discoing the right way: #NTD2022

#NTD2022 after-party:

Good night #NTD2022

Totally worth the €2,50.

It's completely made of small ice cream bubbles. Amazing!

@CorinnaBaldauf I use the same technique
when facilitating a discussion. If a person wants to speak, I keep track of the
order. I don't have a name for it, maybe FIFO queue (first first out). During
the discussion I will mention that I've recognized a person's intention to
speak.

@maaretp While I don't want to diminish the
severity of attacking your legacy, I want to ensure that you have built a legacy
of your own that stands for itself, without the (lack of) validation of any
third party. That said, it is important to address efforts to minimize your
works.

@kolencherry The most important fun fact:
it's fun to eat, too!

Day 2 of #NTD2022. Did a tech check this morning for my talk later. Find me at
1410 in Väike Saal downstairs.

Took a walk during the coffee break because the sun is out! This concrete
monster is next to the #ntd2022 conference venue.

Now hearing from @tomdrivendev how to set up
teams for better quality: https://sched.co/106ZO #ntd2022

Teams should test together, not develop and do QA in separation. This also means
a new role for testers: they need to become a quality advocate.

Now for something I've never worked with: testing video quality. Super
interesting to see all these tools they need in action.
@DenissLocmelis #NTD2022

The tools:

@foofighter75 Yes, that was highlighted on
another slide: helping developers to get into a tester's mindset.

Excited now to be able to listen to @madisp who
shares @Veriff's end-to-end testing strategy.
#NTD2022

Ohh, all magic links should have literal magic in them! #NTD2022

E2E tests are slow, but try to be below 15 minutes, otherwise too many context
switches happen for developers. You should monitor this and make sure everyone
is aware of the goal!

Quite a few challenges with this approach, but the benefits are there! #NTD2022

I hope to catch an overview on how to visualize test results from
@Anais_vanAsselt. #NTD2022
https://sched.co/zan4

These dashboards for visualizing test results can't be too technical, but should
take the perspective of the business, so all involved parties can use that
information.

Thanks #NTD2022 for having me! I had fun, also giving my talk! Thanks to all who
made @nordictestdays possible!

Already on the plane back! Goodbye #Tallinn 🇪🇪 I'll be back for sure!

There were some banger weather views during the trip:

I forgot to mention that the Estonians just serve you melted cheese on a plate.
Motherfucking genius! 🇪🇪 🤯 It's ahjus küpsetatud ürdi-kadaka juust and I still
think about it two days later.

@internetofshit We
@NordicTweets are doing our best! 🤞🏻

@emna__ayadi
@elarlang Yes, it's very unique. Not your
typical hotel conference center!

https://ecmatc53.github.io/spec/web/spec.html is a very interesting deviation
of JavaScripts model of code once run anywhere. For #IIoT it is acknowledged
that not all targets can run the same code, so they are working on providing a
way to formalize vendor-specific APIs in JavaScript.

Looking forward to watch the recording of this one!
https://twitter.com/phoddie/status/1532151899452866560

@amokleben This effort is about the language
features to allow direct hardware access (which often needs direct memory
manpiulation), not about the implementation. However, if you look at examples
like @Espruino or
@nodebots you will see that they run stripped
down interpreters, because >

@amokleben
@Espruino
@nodebots runtimes like Google's V8 are 10-100
times too large for embedded devices.

@amokleben
@Espruino
@nodebots I'm looking forward to this talk:
https://twitter.com/phoddie/status/1532151899452866560?s=20&t=6DgMWXnzeuKkM9XZRP288A
I expect that it will explain in detail what the benefits of adding new features
to the standard for IoT devices are.

Yes, I'm a man. I stop reading at #5 and assume I'll ace the rest, too.

@nordictestdays Unfortunately only the
track of the big stage was recorded, not all talks. So for now I can only share
the slides with you: https://bit.ly/fwtesting ... let me know if you have any
questions, not everything will be super clear without the audio track. I am
planning a blog soon.

@emsuiko Uh, hope you get well soon!

Absolutely: I get to put my ideas in front of people to get outside feedback,
get a lot of inspiration in a short amount of time through other talks, make new
contacts and friends from the industry, discover new cities.

@sionwhughes Yes, Nordic has published the
BOM for the Thingy:52 in the past, so I expect the same to happen soon for the
Thingy:53.

@sionwhughes Nordic has no real magic way to
source components, so given the Thingy:53 can be produced right now you will
also be able to source the components for a similar design.

We started working on it! :-D

@martinjuhasz Yes, I was trying to find
something that is interactive and fun to watch even for children. We will have
school classes visiting us at https://skaperfest.no/ in August and I think we
found a project that can be both fun to try but also has interesting technical
challenges.

My junior today asked for a recommendation how to document architecture. I don't
have a good one, and I am again thinking about writing down how I want
architecture to be documented: from the viewpoint of data that flows through it.
It needs to be a dynamic, not arrows+boxes.
/status/1381512195612246018

@m4nl5r Yeah, ideally I have per-feature test case
sequence diagrams that include the actual data and the components it was handled
by, including links to the infra definition in code.

@_Iyalei Yes, I like that. I want to start with
the feature: "We want to store temperature data of devices, and be able to
retrieve them later." ... then see the input and output data ... then see which
"components" this data touches and how it is transformed in the process.

@stanislav What C4 is missing for me is the
"glue": in AWS architecture a lot is happening on the "arrows" between boxes and
C4 does not focus on that; it puts an emphasis on components, however in cloud
native archtitecture the containers are boring, the implementation is in the
glue.

@miskaknapek Yes, very interesting to just
stroll around.

Perfect summer day (18°C)! #Oslo 🇳🇴

Sauna would be fantastic today...

@badboy_ Just crazy.

@DahibhatePrachi I'm privileged enough to
have the choice. So offline/in person conferences are my preferred choice.

@mirjam_diala Once you get used to standing
you don't need a chair any more.

Talked to an applicant from Italy who volunteered their current salary. I had to
ask 3 times to make sure I didn't mishear the number... it was unbelievable low.

@_MichaelSholty Yes, sure, you can't
compare Italy to Germany or Norway, and I have not yet lived in Italy, but to me
it sounded way too low especially given their experience.

@DJ_eXi We have a fixed salary scheme that is
transparent for all members in the R&D group, so I can't low-ball them
anyway.

Is your company spending $100/year to let you pair with an AI while writing
code?

@BaggersIO It won't limit me from using it for
company projects, so I expect the company plan to have a bit more features (like
blocking code in specific repos to not be analyzed).

Me: here is the tech challenge. Them: solves tech challenge quickly. My
feedback: not fully implement, bugs, no tests. Care to fix? Them: The provided
solution should be sufficient to make an impression of my skills.

Ohhkay.

Some dudes have too much confidence.

@ddprrt GitHub pages.

@femtoduino
@JacobusSystems Sure, but none of that is
the case here. The challenge came after a 1,5 hour intro call. The coding
challenge has no time limit, and they only spent a few hours on it. I've
provided clear feedback within a day what is missing. They would have had the
chance to correct it.

@femtoduino
@JacobusSystems Most candidates that went
through this process were very happy with how it went, so I am confident that
it's fair.

However, I am curious to learn what you personally consider appropriate to do
for testing a candidate's technical abilites?

@femtoduino
@JacobusSystems Yes, this is fully up to
the candidates choice. I clearly state that they can suggest an alternative, and
for some that can work (if they are allowed to shared a project they feel
comfortable discussing).

@femtoduino
@JacobusSystems But I understand the
predicament. I think I will start asking (senior!) candidates to propose the way
they would like to be assessed for their technical abilities.

@bitshiftmask
@femtoduino
@JacobusSystems Yeah, I know. However, I
have many applicants from abroad, so we can't relocated them here on a hunch
that they might perform well.

I've added this to our application form now.

@nebelgrau77 Yes, I also totally was not
aware that he was in that movie!

@troubalex Sometimes I use the tiny button to
set the clock.

What a beautiful suprise on my #kde desktop this week! 😍 Looks amazing on the
#xps13 OLED. https://twitter.com/louisdurrant/status/1130838002094301184

Installing the KDE power management controls fixed the issue!

@FranziskaNaja Ahh, cool das Du was

@ifesdjeen http://Ut.no was mentioned
already. It has everything you need!

However Bergen is wet, and Tromsø is wet and cold, so prepare accordingly!

@m4nl5r
@ifesdjeen
@visitnorway has very good recommendations
around hiking in Norway, including what to pack and trip recommendations:
https://www.visitnorway.com/things-to-do/outdoor-activities/hiking/tips/

@EdyBolos
@femtoduino
@JacobusSystems I expect a candidate to
spend around 8 hours on the technical challenges. It's much less time compared
to before where we would fly people to Norway to have physical interviews. ICYDN
I tell candidates that they can propose a different way to assess their
technical skills.

@EdyBolos
@femtoduino
@JacobusSystems How much time are you
prepared to invest in an interview?

We have too few words to describe IT systems properly.

What a banger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGWO7cDC_q0 #trancefamily

@haraball
@EdyBolos
@femtoduino
@JacobusSystems Yeah, I'd love to do the
trial in the probation period. But most candidates are from abroad, so this
involves relocation, visa, often also for an entire family. So my stakes are
high.

@visitnorway

@j19sch Haha, yeah :-D

@arne_mertz Yeah, I know that some companies
work like this; and it's working good for them. But I can't have this for my
team.

@pati_gallardo It offered me the
opportunity to work with something I loved (JavaScript and serverless) in an
exciting domain I think has huge potential (IoT) in a country that I was
dreaming about (Norway).

Can someone set up a code golf challenge for CodeWhisper and Copilot?

Being on the road in #Norway 🇳🇴 during midsummer is such a beautiful experience.
This was at 2215 near Trondheim.

Heartbreaking news from Oslo this morning.

https://twitter.com/quaerendum/status/1540489811798130689

Breakfast with a view! #Norway 🇳🇴

These roads here are something else! 😍 #Norway 🇳🇴

@witchofthetest Yes, it's terrible. Just
aweful that people get murdered because of who they are.

Eyewitnes describes the cold blooded murders:
https://www.nrk.no/osloogviken/nrks-journalist-var-vitne-til-skytingen-i-oslo-1.16016510

@pati_gallardo It's sad but I think it's a
safe call until it's clear that this shooter was acting alone. More reasons for
me to attend Trondheim Pride this year.

@svorklab Yes! We bought it at the end of 2019
and it saved our sanity during the lockdown!

Gonna stay here a bit!

Great place to hang a hammock! 😍 #Norway 🇳🇴

@alex_schl You will not be disappointed!

23:37 #Norway 🇳🇴

Good morning from Eikesdalsvatnet! #norway 🇳🇴 #camping

@emna__ayadi You can rent a hut with this

@HadrienMP Yes, right?! Can't get enough of it!

@svorklab We live in Trondheim, so this place is
quite close (4 hour drive) ;-)

On our way back, taking a break here. This weather calls for taking out the
SUPs. #Norway 🇳🇴

@svorklab I'd recommend going to
https://www.caravan-salon.de/ and check out the vans in reality. We did a lot
of online research but in the end could only decide after we saw the individual
vendors designs, haptics and quality for real.

@HadrienMP It's happening!

@pati_gallardo It"s so good. I still miss
it.

@DevLids @olafurw
Yes sure!

Did an Event Storming session today with my students on how the robot wars game
should work. I'm so excited to see it in action soon!

@tpflug @c089 Are you

All Germans must have umlauts in their names. That's the law.

@emsuiko
@MaritvanDijk77 But it looks so cute!

@BischoffDev Much improved!

@chrissbaumann Korrëkt!

@Ravetracer Saubër!

@JanSchfr You got lucky when they were
distributed!

@Der_Pesse
@chrissbaumann Brüno agrees!

@zimmskal I donate every 4 months roughly at the
hospital in Trondheim. We have a nice range of gifts to choose, for example
thermoses, t-shirts, towels, bike repair kits. It's donated, I think.
