If you'd handed me a modern smartphone 25 years ago, and told me this is how everyone does computing now...
...I'd obviously have been super impressed by the tech, but I also would've been really saddened by the dumbness & inflexibility of the user interface

My tweet on the perils of CSS-in-JS got a lot of questions, and I think this is the best one. Instead of burying the answer(s) down-thread, wanted to extract it into a separate conversation. A short 🧵👇 https://twitter.com/moonriseTK/status/1516953602987896833
Debugging missing information in this #Clojure graphql-using system I wrote a couple years ago. Trouble is, I don't remember how I made it, and haven't touched graphql since then. I guess I'll take credit that it has worked reliably til now.
Call me a dissident child, but I don't like the fact that my organization has recently doubled and tripled corporate alliances with people like Adobe, Slack, Github, and Microsoft, along with DNS, VPN, and other big contracts. They would be fine in isolation, but the fact that they all seem to be coming along in the same two-year span screams irresponsibility and lack of due-diligence, possibly hoping that money-based decisions (alternately throwing money and "saving money") will make the world a better place, without apparently taking any tech consultation about it.
My realization is the past year is that unbounded size is bad, whether orgs, code bases, government, anything. Define your boundaries. Choose your limits

It strikes me that, with a few exceptions, the larger an organisation is, the more "work" it takes simply to work there.
The overhead of communication, training, bureaucracy, and constant re-orgs means that less and less individual time is spent delivering valu…

Code is a liability, though I love it. The poetry of code is in its scarcity.

Spent time this week validating it was safe to delete a bunch of reporting code that (1) worked, (2) was correct, (3) I spent a lot of time creating, and (4) I was personally proud of. Nobody was really using them.
Why delete them? Because code is a liability and not an asset.

A remote work benefit I love the most is the lazy morning. I don’t set an alarm. I don’t fight with crowds or traffic.
I walk my dog and roll into the day. Why in the world would this be seen as negative?
Like, am I lazy or do you just hate yourself?

It's funny that PuppetDB is probably one of the most deployed Clojure apps around the world and no one even knows it's written in Clojure?? Puppet's open source presence is weird. (source: I work on PuppetDB)

I would like to use git to back-up, vc, and sync everything crucial on my text-based system, but some content, most notably my passwords file, are gpg encypted. This breaks git because reviewing changes essentially produces comparisons of gibberish. Does anyone know a solution for syncing/VC of encrypted data, which won't be only passwords?
https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/blog/2005/microsoft-gets-tdd-completely-wrong Nice old article on Microsoft getting TDD wrong in ways that many others have mistaken, too. Essentially, they suggested "waterfall-style TDD" which is a contradiction of terms. #TDD is meant to be fast and iterative. It is an absolute joy in #Clojure Cider (and presumably other toolings and languages), where you re-run the failing test with every re-evaluation, watching for that joyful green light to say that now you've passed. https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/blog/2005/microsoft-gets-tdd-completely-wrong
