Five for Friday – July 19, 2024

This has been a wild week in this timeline – but beyond the US political drama, a few other interesting things caught my interest.

  • I’ve already devoured Season 3 of The Bear, but have also been really enjoying watching Killing Eve on Netflix. It’s sort of weird, but I usually like things that are sort of weird.
  • Johanna Rothman wrote an insightful article on How We Plan for Ourselves vs. How We Commit for Our Organizations…and I know some folks I want to read it too.
  • I found this collection of famous “flight bugs” and their root causes. I think a lot of us are aware of these, but it’s a nice recap in one place – How a Single Line of Code Brought Down a Billion Dollar Rocket
  • Nice encouragement to create Small Pull Requests from the google testing blog.
  • The Olympics are coming up, and we all get a chance to watch sports we would never watch otherwise. High on my list this year is synchronized diving – because I saw a video of Cook and Bacon (check out #cooknbacon) recently in a frame by frame that looked like a mirror.
    And also soccer – I will watch lots of soccer.

Another week done – have a great weekend.
