@jmoiron This is a common sentiment. The performance work that makes this approach successful is a positive externality that is easy to take for granted. https://t.co/UBRWu89CaX

@jmoiron Also I've been to Vietnam several times and the food is fucking awesome, so joke is on that guy, whose bio is still up on my university's site as a .doc with the font sent to comic sans.

@jmoiron On encouragement, the prof for my sr. project said outsourcing would kill programming jobs for gearheads like me, leaving only mgmt jobs like his. At the end-project 1-1 he told me "You will have to move to Vietnam" and "I hope you like rice" to which I replied "i LOVE rice." htt...

@jmoiron After about ~18 months of flapping on and offline, it seems like the high-res photography focused background img site interfacelift is finally, truly dead for good. There is a (203GB) archive available https://t.co/tC9KWSqn4u. What site has filled the vacuum?

@jmoiron @_zombiezen_ Reminds me a lot of the chubby story from https://t.co/4o3MbJBPGe which doesn't really name it, but references chaos monkey and "failure injection" in the biblio

@jmoiron What people call expressiveness is overrated and is rarely worth a sacrifice in readability. https://t.co/XPz31sMB1p

@jmoiron XML is great, it only gets bogged down when you need something totally crazy like a list of strings or a hash map. https://t.co/lgJ4jiPGc2

@jmoiron @GreatSnoopy77 @copyconstruct I'm not saying 100% remote can't work, I'm saying hybrid remote+office companies tend to centralize decision making power in the office, and that choosing to not go to the office will have subtle but inevitable impact because humans are social beings...

@jmoiron @copyconstruct Any non-remote-only is likely to involve a tradeoff. I would guess that executives will desire the higher bandwidth of f2f meetings, which means high management will follow for access. If the decision makers are in the office, being there too will have impact.

@jmoiron @copyconstruct I think a lot of post-virus WFH bandwagoners are missing out on the understanding that office + remote environments are different from 100% remote, and that the decision to be remote in such a hybrid setup carries with it tradeoffs in access, networking opportuniti...

@jmoiron Love Apple's 2fa implementation, "we've sent this code to a laptop you've not opened for 6 months."

@jmoiron @bryanl I learned Go in my nights/weekends. It's one of those things where I think you shouldn't have to, because it puts people with more non-work commitments at considerable disadvantage, but I can't say it hasn't helped.

@jmoiron "NYC has reached herd immunity" is not widely believed by experts. The goal is to provide an alternative explanation that discounts the efficacy of our (clumsy) response (masks, closures, distancing) and validate a sustained campaign against basic public health measures.

@jmoiron The tragedy is that NY has botched its response repeatedly before working out a mix of measures that work (+ some that probably don't), but conservative Governors could not even rise to our level of basic incompetence and thousands are dead across the American south as a result.

@jmoiron Offering people up as human sacrifice to economic growth in a gambit to improve conditions for the election unpopular, not to mention ghoulish, so an alternate narrative has to be constructed where counter-measures are ineffective and our economic sacrifices are in vain.

@jmoiron Using Linux can be a waste of time, but it's a fun waste of time https://t.co/BD1Ht3Zvxo

@jmoiron @Grady_Booch @copyconstruct There was a reaction to your book in which people approached software with a patterns-up approach, and a growing apprisal of that methodology has been that it creates too much incidental structural complexity.

@jmoiron @jordanorelli The first game I worked on was the last game I worked on! A homebrew shmup for the GBA called "Estoc" (copy/homage to einhander), which was a senior project. I realized that I loved working on the tools/support/text display system, and hated working on the game.
