@ted.dev shared how he is using Event Sourcing to make TDD easy while building the web version of his TDD game.

Commands generate events. Events change state.

Also the Marker Interface used by his events into a pattern matching switch statement was an awesome trick.

Read The Language Hunter's Kit, 2013 edition | Leanpub

Played Willem Larsen’s Language Hunter game with some Russian speakers. What an interesting collaborative way to make language as a community.

Jay’s very mild code smells was hilarious and led to some interesting arguments.

Some people still like the word β€œshould” in their test names even though they are wrong

After watching Llewllen Falco and @jaybazuzi.bsky.social debate their interpretation of Arlo’s commit notation, I am now sold on the value of adding risk to commits.

However I still want my IDE to automatically add the . r commits after an automated refactoring

Lada Kessler had an awesome session showing off some AI Agents.

We got into a discussion of still not trusting code created with Gen AI. @chrislucian.bsky.social said something like β€œsenior developers are fine using these tools as they know what to look out for, but jr developers should stay away”

Highlights:

Talking to @quinngil.com about microobjects was a blast after hearing about it from Steve and Paige.

I especially love the trick of replacing a Factory method like β€œcreateSciFiFilter” with a class called SciFiFilter that only overrides the constructor

Very excited to rest after Agile Open Northwest. All the learning, fun and discussions leave me inspired but tired

Missed my connecting flight as the ventilation wouldn’t turn on. Now because of software bug I have to take a 3rd flight today and add 8 hours onto my travel time.

Remember Mitch McConnell's strategy was to use unchallenged seats on school boards, city councils, etc to build a foundation of extreme right-wing power. Progressives need to do the same.

This is why I donate to @runforsomething.net monthly. If you're willing, they'll help you run.

Wikipedia is one of the last major bastions of verified information. Which, of course, is why the oligarchs want to destroy it.

All the teams I’ve introduced Trunk-Based Ping-Pong have loved it as it encourages taking small steps together. Give it a try on your team and let me know what you think!

Love conditional returns. It makes the code read like a proper English sentence

Just had an electrician over for an estimate on rewiring parts of my house. He told me he can give a large range quote as he won’t know what needs to be done until he starts working on it.

I told him that’s what we call β€œwe discover the work by doing the work”.
