New post: Pattern Parrots and the Semantic Knot AI code generators are great amplifiers. But amplifiers amplify misalignment too. On mutation testing as the deterministic closed loop. schirp-dso.com/blog/pattern-…

Unscientific study: Why is your team not using mutation testing in your cycles? RT and reply in unstructured answers pls! ("WTF is mutation testing" is an allowed reply!)

ANNOUNCEMENT: Food and drink are life-saving medicine for Type 1 diabetics like me. Fruit snacks and juice boxes save my life regularly. Strictly enforced “no food or drink” policies are discriminatory against diabetics. Refusing to accommodate our disability is unlawful.

People often think I’m anti-car. I’m not against the car. I literally own a car. One that I bought new just a few years ago that I really enjoy driving. What I’m against is the convenience of the car being at the centre of how we’ve designed our society.

Less than 168 hours since Photoshop dropped the new "Generative Fill" feature. The demos that people are sharing are nuts. 7 jaw-dropping examples:

So much of the discourse about this revolves around spaces not being accessible for parents but fuck man children are literally people too. They are integral to society and will always be a huge part of the population. They deserve accessibility

Great thread. Please read.
I absolutely do not want to hear people saying "a lot of homeless people are mentally ill" unless they are also saying that it is literally impossible to treat ~any mental illness without stable housing.

Bahaha this thread of idiotic replies by uninformed people parroting outdated and fatphobic medical concept, advice, and terminology has to be funny otherwise it’s just too sad. This clapback is 🔥 though. It’s the “Boop” that really does it for me.
Replying to @GregTallin
Both of those statements in that single sentence are entirely incorrect. Boop

🤓I’ve done a few big, incremental migrations in my career. This one was the most fun and rewarding. The key was having a great team to pull it off.
When @Betterment wanted to shift their strategy to a mobile-first approach, they turned to #Flutter to share their codebase across iOS and Android, which allowed them to achieve 100% feature parity across both platforms. youtube.com/watch?v=1J3B-xao…

They always try this. If they could have the Blackness without the Black people, they absolutely would. Digital Blackface always goes bad, they apologize, then they try again a few years later. People liked Jordan Peele's Movie "Get Out," but they didn't understand it.

Really great thread on this
Good morning I’m awake with more thoughts. The thing about the April discourse is that every fat, Black girl knew it was coming as soon as the TMNT trailer dropped. Whether the take is racist or fatphobic or both we knew it was coming, and that’s part of the problem 🧵

Like I said, I don't argue with y'all. I say what I say, and I collect receipts. 🔮🧙🏿‍♂️ I'm not on the hype side of the tech business. I'm on the reality side. Ship or go home. Deliver or go home. At some point, hype has to turn to reality, or it turns to dust. And Elon is dusty.

The ENTIRE fashion industry is built on the backs and hands of countless people in the developing world who are being paid a pittance for incredibly painstaking and physically taxing work.
…y’all. I cannot emphasize enough that every single garment you wear is made by hand. There is not one single item of clothing that is autonomously made by machine. Despite the best efforts of corporations sewing is currently not possible to automate. So this attitude/
