I build/teach about building software at initialCapacity.io. Pivot. Architecture is not incompatible with Extreme Programming. Really like modern static type systems (F#, Elm, Typescript, Swift, Kotlin...).
Also into cycling and cheese.

Uh I just got DMed by the COO of Tumblr asking about hiring contractors to make us fully #indieweb compliant, and possibly even #fediverse integration. Anyone out there looking for work?

Will things get better?
Please boost for sample size.
When practicing TDD, do not add a test that will not fail with your current implementation.
That is assuming you wrote the simplest code to make your tests pass, and you do not have an important documentation need that this test would fulfill.

"Gates's ideology denied the world's poorest access to AIDS drugs, directly leading to a vast population of permanently immunocompromised people in the global south. These same people are especially vulnerable to covid, but again Gates's ideology denies them vaccines."

F# is one of those languages where I can easily get back into a codebase one year later, do a change in 10-15minutes, and be done.
Just improved performance loading disk space usage info in my cross-platform desktop app.

Constructs for asynchronous programming in F# are really pleasant to work with.
Example of introducing an Async Sequence to parallelize processing:

#fsharp sits in the sweetspot of "getting things done" programming languages. I've always been suspicious of evangelism, but in this case, think about having a look at F#, no matter if you are a #TypeScript, #Python, #CSharp or else user. https://twitter.com/kot_2010/status/1152207966445199362

#fsharp is beautiful, do not use it like haskell
Trying out Jetbrains Gateway with WSL.
Every morning we have a bird knocking at our window trying to steal our basil plant that's sitting right by it.
Every. Morning. The window is never opened.
I think The Batman might be my favorite Batman movie yet.

Why capitalise multi-word hashtags?
Because screen readers cannot distinguish between words unless you do. They just spell out the (to them) single word. Just imagine if all your words were spelled to you instead of spoken.

Hey #fsharp,
I will be building a typing speed application under 1 hour. No frameworks just Fable.
A sample is here (not my app)
https://viterbi-web.usc.edu/~ruikunha/personal/typing-speed-test/
It will be live on twitch, today 27 April 7.30 pm CEST:
