Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

Tweet from @tomgara

Randomly on this subject, my (Egyptian) wife had never heard of Stonehenge when I mentioned it recently, so I showed her photos of it, assuming she’d recognise the look but not the name etc, and she was just like, this is pathetic, your ancestors were small and weak

After bsky.app/profile/lotd..., whitebox tests that are a 1:1 replica of the system under test. What a waste of time refactoring that was.
