Five for Friday – July 3, 2020

Another week of random stuff. Let’s see if anything is interesting…

  • There’s a pair of excellent articles from the team at Slack about a recent incident and how they handled it. A Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day at Slack, and All Hands on Deck
  • I think I mentioned last week that I’m learning Rust (for no particular reason). I’m enjoying using codewars for random kata.
  • It’s too bad that this is the last season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D – it’s a fantastic show
  • Speaking of television, I’ve been a long time user of youtube tv – but there’s a lot of discussion this week about their recent price change. While I can certainly afford the change, it’s enough of a change that it’s made me realize that I don’t really have any need for live tv streaming. Between the ESPN bundle I get with Disney+, plus locast, I realized I’ve just been wasting my money.
  • I, for one, am completely unsurprised that Dr. Fauci says that he’s “concerned”. Cover your face, stay farther apart than you think you need to, and stop being stupid.
    Please stay safe and healthy.

  • Welcome

    I’ve been blogging for nearly 5 years now. When I first started, I didn’t think I wanted to be a blogger – I just wanted a place to interact with customers. I quickly realized that I liked writing and started to study writing and used blogging to work on my writing. Now, 5 years later,…

  • Q&A about software testing

    If you want to skip the preamble and get to the point, just page down to the end of this post.
