I chucked together some little demos of important software development concepts with a good scientific basis. I can never find good examples for these. What do you think? Useful? software-teams.billie.codes

Load balancers are transgender now

V2 of the case with tweaks. This time not accidentally using the logo for the squiggle tool in tinkercad

Another test for a bigger print. A clip to hold a sensor, I think I am going to change the 4 clips to 2 Ls to allow you to push against and a bit thicker plastic on the clips, but the concept worked and I am pretty pleased about the progress

Been having a go at 3D modelling

Two 3D printed boxes with a squiggle on them for an esp32 dev1 (38pin usb micro) board one with a board in it one empty. In the top left you can also see a esp32 board c variant.

Shout-out to the assorted mastodon community safety teams who made this phish super easy to spot and thank you to mastodonsupporttoffal24112 for making me feel included

A picture of a tweet from me saying "a vampire racing game called Nos-feratu" (and entirely unique and creative thought that time travellers have been trying to steal from me for literally years, so you can blame that if you see it in the past)

Followed by a response saying "out systems show your account has not been verified" and you know the normal fishing shit, follow this totally not suspicious link.

This banner irritates me enough that it had more influence than I would care to admit in me leaving github.

My personal counter to this problem is to make myself little dashboards of what I know about certain frameworks etc. Here's my one for XP. It's not exhaustive, but it hopefully at least forces me to consider what assumptions I am making. For example we can see […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

A table with:

Where we apply
* Enagagements with pairing
* Engagements with Single team
* Internal code development

When we apply it
* Engagement kickoff
* Ceremonies
* When developing with of for clients

Key Practices
* Pair programming
* Stories as placeholders for conversations
* Inceptions
* Retros
* Planning
* Self testing code
* Developer empowermernt

Core Values
* Developers are more than coders
* How you deliver code is what code you deliver
* Iteration
* Constant self review

Known Assumptions
* Everyone will be able to work at the technical level that is required
* Repeating high risk activities lowers risk
* People will speak openly when self reviewing
* There will not be repercussions for self criticism
* Good development practices, leads to good product outcomes
* Lower skill developers will be uplifted
