5/6 Stop: Guaranteed, == always evaluates to true, never see a unit test fail again!

4/6 No classes. All code is single batch of statements, logical units separated by whitespace or #region tags. Never have to refactor again!

3/6 Stop: No compile errors, no warnings, no runtime errors. Never see a bug again! Calling nonexistent code does a NOP. No "throw" keyword!

2/6 Stop: All types are strings. Never have to choose a type again! All type conversions always succeed!

1/6 Programming Language Idea: "Stop"*Not related to Go)
Give people what they *want* as inferred by reading source code

Are they in good school districts? https://x.com/harrisj/status/745348661509525504

If you could, would you turn off the reporting of all compile time *and* runtime errors?

Frankly, I was surprised in this small data set how effective Twitter was at finding a job.

TIL: Waterfall is actually based on Winston Royce's paper from 1970. I doubt anyone who prefers it read the paper. http://ln.is/en.wikipedia.org/wik/b3kfJ

Waterfall (aka SDLC) is plan to fail, then plan to manage blame & get paid anyhow. It's a dishonest game based on "room for interpretation"

Did you hear about the SQL developer whose transactions rolled back? He feared commitment.

Unit test libraries exist specifically for BDD.

Thought experiment: what would a Fear Driven Development unit test library look like?

Dev shops that look pretty good from the outside:
- ExcellaCo
- 18F
- MSRB
If you're job hunting, I'd add those to your "consider" list.

AI now has the mind of a 7 year old, type in google "astronaut diaper" and Google says is like, "I know exactly what you're talking about!"

It's a negative filter for eliminating folk who can't write code,not to be confused with a positive filter for talent

The Mrs reporting on Google-Voice-To-Text:

"I just used Google speak for the first time comma it works exclamation point."

Slack is down, finally I can butt into your company's internal convos on twitter. I want to start with, Told ya so & You're doing it wrong

I read Angularjs was written with non-developers in mind. I laughed & laughed. (Seriously, I think they meant for dev + non-dev *designer*)

2/2 So just imagine Ramsay Bolton as PM, "Sociopath personality type driven software development" It would be a scary SW dev process fad.
