@darius at least you had a paragraph that has more than one sentence in it

@Mastodon Pictured: releasing the stable

@noelrap your call as to whether it's worth the effort to update, of course. Just wanted to make sure you were aware 👍

@noelrap FYI this post seems to have "share" and "subscribe" links turned into plain text https://noelrappin.com/blog/2020/06/why-am-i-writing-about-xp-and-agile-so-much/

A thought on the limitations of TDD:

TDD is a technique for helping highly-motivated developers write good software. (Note: I am not saying that if you don't use TDD you aren't highly-motivated. *A* technique.)

However, TDD is not a technique for helping developers be highly-motivated, or for helping non-highly-motivated developers write good software.

Here's a blog post by @noelrap with some similarities to this: https://noelrappin.com/blog/2021/05/entropy-essays-8-why-entropy/

@noelrap I'm ramping up for a client that's using #Hotwire, and I got to go through your Front-End book again. It's such a great and straightforward introduction to those technologies! Thanks for writing it.

@tenderlove @cam this is the time of the year when we need to get to the root cause, following the example of the "Three Whys" Men

@searls @testdouble LLM boom is my least favorite Saliva song

@noelrap @Cdespinosa you probably told me that before and i did not sufficiently dive in to SK8 at that time for the amount of interest i have in hypercard. bookmarked!

@noelrap @Cdespinosa when your post mentioned Apple educational research, I thought of this book I read recently. They worked in education but it's about the multimedia lab that closed around 92. Possible you may have worked with someone mentioned, and it has interesting HyperCard history. https://www.amazon.com/learn-different-Designing-Multimedia-1987-1992-ebook/dp/B07QCH1VN4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=VF7IP9C9V09&keywords=learn+different+kristina+hooper&qid=1690535451&sprefix=learn+different+kristina+hooper%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-1

@darius @janellecshane one time i was collaborating with our head of design about chatbot interfaces. and we decided to set aside implementation and learn how folks would interact with a chatbot when it was maximally human. so i was the chatbot for the day. i would field any movie question that my coworkers had.

it occurs to me i never asked the head of design if she wrote up any findings from that 🤔 but it was fun!
