Looking for hybrid role in London, Cambridge, Essex, or Hertfordshire. Also interested in fully-remote UK or European roles.

Welcome @michele_sollecito!

Michele is a former colleague of mine and one of my key references in Leadership, Software Engineering, TDD, Hexagonal Architecture, Kotlin, and Java. It took me ages to convince him to join Fedi, so please give him a warm welcome!

I am happy to say that the Guile Hacker Handbook is now powered by Haunt

(I might have broken the display on some kind of screens… sorry and let me know!)

This is a book to learn Guile in a #TestDrivenLearning style

For the occasion I rewrote the app tutorial section.

Check it out

Be ready for the next move !

In software development, we have many ways to speed up the time until we get good feedback (in this video, I talk about test-driven development or #TDD).

So, if we are in an environment where we get feedback slowly, we are choosing slow feedback - deliberately or by neglect.

Why are so many choosing slow feedback? https://videos.devteams.at/w/x5Hkwz6ey1GeNF5sZRKAcP

"So you can think really big thoughts and the leverage of having those big thoughts is just suddenly expanded enormously. I had this tweet, whatever, two years ago where I said 90% of my skills just went to zero dollars and 10% of my skills just went up a thousand X.

And this is exactly what I'm talking about. So Having a vision, being able to set milestones towards that vision, keeping track of a design to maintain the levels or control the levels of complexity as you go forward. Those are hugely leveraged skills now.
compared to I know where to put the ampersands and the stars and the brackets in Rust. You know, I'm programming in every language under the sun. And I just kind of don't care. I'm learning by osmosis. I'm learning about the languages. But, you know, and I was a language guy. I loved languages and the details of languages."

If you really really want to increase your developers productivity, teach them proper #TDD and give them time to refactor.

#OpenToWork Hi y'all.
I'm now properly looking for a new job, available from early September for a senior software role. Ideally, in #Kotlin or Java-to-Kotlin conversion. I think I can tick just about all the important boxes for backend development and some more. (especially XP, #DevOps, #TDD, trunk-based development, pairing, fast feedback cycles). Ideally, #remote or flexible #HybridWorking in #London (the one in the #UK).

Försvara skarpa idéer, som testdriven utveckling.
Detär svårt om de blir populära och börjar fel- eller övertolkas.

It's fantastic to see TDD gaining traction, especially with LLMs transforming code generation.

The ability of TDD to provide a clear specification and immediate verification for AI-assisted development is amazing. Code quality is up, and feedback loops are tight.

What is Test Driven Development (TDD) and how can it speed up your software development? In this Making Tech Better podcast episode, I spoke to @GeePawHill about why he loves TDD so much and how he has spread that love to software teams all over the world.
You can listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJauO_q5dq8 

I find myself in strong agreement with John Ousterhout about #TDD: it encourages an approach to software development that is more tactical than strategic and typically takes a toll on design. Like Ousterhout, I tend to resort to TDD only when I'm fixing a bug.
