William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 05/09/2026It's like arguing that a "manual toothbrush" is just a toothbrush. 000
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 05/09/2026@gretchenmcculloch.com Here's a fresh example of a programmer not recognizing: - that the meaning of the word "manual" has been extended to include "done by a human, rather than a machine" - that "manual coding" is a retronym 100

William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I sometimes show people how difficult monolingual fieldwork is. Developing an application for a group of experts often feels like that even though we're all speaking English or French. 100
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026- A tendency to ignore pragmatics, how context-dependency works, and how one can study it. This can lead to assuming that something has the same meaning in all contexts. Or that you can learn what words mean in a specific context just by asking people direct questions. 100
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026- Here's a very specific situation: a colleague assumed that the verb "to scale" was always more general, whereas "to scale up" and "to scale down" were more specific. I shared various situations where "to scale" is synonym of "to scale up". 100
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026- The assumption that because the programming being used is based in English, all identifiers must also be in English. I did a talk about this recently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWyR...youtube.comWhen the ubiquitous language isn't English by William Bartlett - DDD Europe 2026YouTube video by Domain-Driven Design Europe 100
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026- The assumption that all words are pluralized by adding an -s. Not only does this not hold for English (shout out to your recent episode on irregularities), but also fails to account for many other languages. 100
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026- The assumption that all natural languages use the same word order. A lot of similar assumptions that fail when translating an application or a website. 100
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026- This has partly led to aphorisms such as "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." (The Zen of Python) peps.python.org/pep-0020/peps.python.orgPEP 20 – The Zen of Python | peps.python.orgLong time Pythoneer Tim Peters succinctly channels the BDFL’s guiding principles for Python’s design into 20 aphorisms, only 19 of which have been written down. 100
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026A few off the top of my head: - The assumption that linguistics is prescriptive, and ignorance of descriptive approaches. 100
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I'd like to see a crossover with software engineering. I think there is so much to explore, and a lot of software engineers have the wrong intuitions about linguistics. 110
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Unlike albums which are judged on esthetics, software engineering advice should be tested with the scientific method. 000
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 11/08/2026First, show us a scientific study that proves that curly braces and semi-colons cause harm. 200
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Can enough of us agree to stop perpetuating all caps in #SQL queries? 000
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I also noticed against DR Congo and Norway that England didn't know to slow things down with a lead and play a long spell of keepaway. 010
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 15/07/2026In the post-match interview, Tuchel claims that England couldn't get the ball enough to push for the second goal. This is BS. There were plenty of times when England regained possession, but were too hasty and gave it away too soon. 110
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Someone on the coaching staff should have been in his ear showing the stats and screaming that the decision was folly. Tuchel didn't do his homework. His staff didn't do their homework. 100
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 15/07/2026What a rookie mistake from Thomas Tuchel, playing so defensively, so early, against a team that has come back from behind several times already and had 4 headers on target before the hydration break! #wc2026 #engarg 110
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Tomorrow is 4th July. The USA will celebrate 250 years of independence. I have never been happier to be living in another country. 000

William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 10/06/2026And she knits. I started crochet a few months ago, and I am seeing a lot of parallels between that and programming. 030
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Very moving talk about taking a step back and looking at where we are as an industry and if we are really interested in social change or not. I loved the hand-drawn slides, the humour. As always, Hermans is well-sourced. 110

William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 10/06/2026... - The use of a pre-existing taxonomy to classify terms as biz or not was unclear. Wouldn't it be better to discover the domain from the model? 000
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I come away with a few questions about the Evans is experimenting with: - The sampling phase seems to be trying to solve two conflicting problems: reducing noise and bias. I think the samples should come from multiple repositories. 110
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I appreciated Evans's willingness to "go back to school", to learn more maths concepts, and to have a more hypothesis-driven empirical approach. This is sorely missing in IT. I appreciated the reference to descriptivism in making dictionaries. 110
William Bartlett @punkstarman.bsky.social · 10/06/2026A few key points I picked up on - We can't predict the future - Let's focus on experimenting and learning - Let's see what parts LLMs can help, and what parts they can't 100
