Universities often teach object-oriented design as being about the static structure of our OO code - types and relationships ("is a", "has a"). But good OO design focuses on how objects work together to achieve end user goals. Object relationships exist for sending messages.

I am 100% not shitting you when I say scientists named mastodons after their teeth which they thought looked like nipples. “Mastos” as in breast. “odont” as in tooth.
We’re on a website that, in Greek, literally means “Booby Tooth.”

We spend roughly 10x as much time reading code as we do writing it. A tool or technique that makes you twice as "productive" at writing code *at best* makes you 5% more productive over all. Making your code easier to understand will have 10x the impact. But that doesn't sell tools, so you won't be reading about it in Forbes.

Well, my toot rate was basically nonexistent for , but with good reason that it was so engaging and I hardly checked my phone. Perhaps I'll make a proper recap at some point, but I want to make one call out: I'm super proud of my team that took the concept of Skill Development Pathways and produced a proof of concept for what that resource might look like. You can find the website here rsetoolkit.github.io/training/ (rough around the edges) and GitHub repo here github.com/RSEToolkit/training . We are really keen to see this take off and know that it will need input from the community to keep it going. Please get in touch if you are interested. @researchsoftware
