Ship Software That Does Nothing - Kerrick Long's Blog
Don't ship when you have a minimum viable product. Don't ship a prototype to get feedback. Ship a blank page to your production servers on day one.

"You can’t ship a webpage that does nothing until you have a place to ship to.... Your users aren’t clamoring for access because they haven’t seen anything yet. Ship software that does nothing, and ship it to nobody."

@mileswoodroffe.com Thank you for mileswoodroffe.com/articles/rai... -- very helpful! One caveat worth mentioning is that Rails 8.1 seems to create new apps with `config.cache_store = :null_store` in `config/environments/test.rb`, which prevents rate limit tests from working; :memory_store fixes it.

@ericmigi.com Will Pebble 2 Duo and Pebble Time 2 require an Android/iOS smartphone, or can they be used with the Sunbeam F1 Pro phones? (If not with Sunbeam, how about standalone?)

Hot take: your first three #programming languages should be #lua, then #clojure, then #smalltalk. Your production language should be your fourth language.

@agile-otter.bsky.social Did you by chance review What Every Programmer Should Know About Object-Oriented Design by Meiler Page-Jones? I bought a used copy and it has "OTTINGER" written on the top, "Complimentary Review Copy" stamped on the side, and handwritten notes throughout.
