These: Wenn wir nicht schaffen, Journalismus auf neue Art zu finanzieren, ist die freie, demokratische Gesellschaft nicht zu halten. Den größten Unsinn gibt es überall gratis, für kluge Hintergrundartikel muss man überall zahlen. Was wird sich logischerweise schneller verbreiten? So wird das nichts.

🍻 Here’s to you guys finding this funnier than my co-workers did.

The photo is of the backs of people sitting in black plastic chairs, like at a conference. The person on the left is only half seen and wears a dark blue polo. The person the image is focused on wears a black hoodie with white writing on the back that reads “#NaaS
No as a Service”

Es knicken nicht nur die US Behörden größtenteils sofort vor den faschistoiden Forderungen der Trump-Nazis ein, sondern es ziehen auch jede Menge Firmen usw. mit, die in keiner Hinsicht mitziehen müssten.

So ähnlich muss das Anfang 1933 gewesen sein als sich alle überboten, "judenfrei" zu werden.

It's coming up, and I can't wait: #FroGSConf. A week from now, Saturday. I have a hands-on session in mind I want to run on #testing, but I also would like to do one on #QualityEngineering and the practical change to allow quality to be everyone's business. frogsconf.nl - it's free.

Open source needs even more work to look good, documentation, etc. Depending on your goals, eg public portfolio, it can be worth it or not...

There is a library function in PHP to redirect stdout to a buffer. Maybe there is on for stdin too?

I'm trying to make a PHP translation of the Office Cleaning Robot Refactoring Kata (github.com/sammancoachi...) and I am stuck. The unit tests hang and I can't work out why. Help appreciated!

Assigning agency to techniques seems to me to be an attempt to avoid responsibility. “I used TDD & got poorly designed/unreliable/hard to understand code—not my fault.”

I know people were advised to use ChatGPT to work "smarter"

But I encourage you to stop using it for things like talk submissions and cover letters

People can tell and from the reader's perspective they all start to sound the same

please stop using chatgpt to write your conference talk submissions. we can tell.

If customers had higher expectations about quality, Gen A.I. would still be in the lab right now.
