One of the hard truths you have to accept as an adult is that there are, at best, 6 days of actual good weather a year.

Part of me wants to go to another dentist the day before my normal dentist, just to see if my normal dentist admits there's nothing to do or if they pretend to find stuff.

If we've collectively decided to double down on using Slack as an industry, then tbh I want a project management tool directly built into it.

People being mean/blunt on the Internet can be a superpower when you have a side project. Everyone in your life sugarcoats feedback whether they know it or not. But Internet people? They hold nothing back and it can be invaluable.

My programming hot take that I don't actually believe, but I'm going to state publicly anyway, is that you do not need a bug tracker. People will just tell you when important stuff is broken.

Has anything had more of an unnecessary chokehold on software teams than the 2 week sprint? Even when all other aspects of Agile have been jettisoned, the 2 week sprint remains.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

When people talk about the struggles of having a newborn they tend to talk about the same 3 things over and over. But the true worst part? There’s always a random spot on your shirt that’s a little bit damp.

I’m thrilled to announce that I will be speaking at Wire⚡Live next month! As someone who has used Livewire since its initial release, I'm excited to share the tips and tricks I use to write production-ready Livewire apps. Come to Buffalo to help make the first Wire⚡Live great!
My headshot. I'm smiling, wearing big oval glasses, and I have blue, purple, and pink hair. I'm wearing a black and white button-down shirt that features a striped and floral print design. In the background, a brick building and a tree with turning leaves are visible. A grainy filter has been added on top.

At the bottom, a black banner features the Wire⚡Live logo on the left and the text "Buffalo, NY October 28-29" on the right. Above the banner is the text "Speaker: Andy Newhouse" in black text on a yellow ribbon.

When you’re working on a team or working for a client, you don’t always get to pick the exact stack you like working with. Embrace them anyways.
