Kind notes

Almost two years(!) late, but I've finally written up my solution for unit testing #Auth0 rules https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/10/01/unit-test-auth0-rule/ which I formulated at #hackference!

Choosing a team name is a pretty stressful thing 😱 but we're now the Pandemic Pandas! Looking forward to a logo of a panda in a mask 😁

This morning I'm doing a team kickoff with my new team, very exciting stuff!

Of the few cat words I understand, surprisingly they all seem to be related to "no" or "stop that" 😅

In a scary turn of events, it's already October! But that means it's #Hacktoberfest, which is super exciting - reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham on Wednesday which will be Hacktoberfest themed - I hope to see you there for some Free and Open Source contributing! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/09/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-hacktoberfest-edition--dTrYgmFEBZff

Just watched #TheSocialDilemma - some really powerful stuff in there, helping to emphasise the real dangers of #SocialMedia and the money makers fighting to maximise your attention. Strongly recommend watching!

Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow! I hope to see you there at 1730 for some website stuff - it'll be the last non-#Hacktoberfest themed one until November! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/09/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-4BIUc3geqfW0

It's official! We're having a #Hacktoberfest takeover for #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham in late September and October! https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/09/08/hwc-hacktoberfest/

Oh damn I didn't realise #vimconf was a thing! Hopefully I can catch up on the conf if the videos are recorded?

Forgot to mention I'm attending #SpringOne over the next couple of days - really looking forward to some great talks both now, and when I get a chance to catch up on those I miss!

New blog post: Why I Actively Discourage Online Tooling like jwt.io and Online JSON Validators https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/09/01/against-online-tooling/

Looking forward to seeing folks tonight at 1730 for #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/08/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-yPtwtlpRRU0p

Just blogged: My first experience (last year) with a #SquadHealthcheck as a way to know how your team is doing, and tracking it over time https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/08/18/squad-healthchecks/

Very excited to be hosting Lorna Jane at this week's PHPMiNDS talking all about OpenAPI - hope you can join us to understand some more about how you can better document your APIs! More details are on the PHPMiNDS website, phpminds.org

Aside from the bustle of the audience, having @MrAndrew presenting slides with wacky arm movements really does make it feel like it's #TechNott again ☺

Very excited for #TechNott lightning talks tonight - always great to have some of the audience sharing all sorts of talks!

Hey @StarbucksUK do you do any cross-browser testing on your website? I spent 10 minutes waiting for Firefox on mobile to load your menu, then going onto Chrome instantly worked - this is not cool! There's more in the world than Google Chrome, and a company your size should be able to do their due diligence and build sites that don't just break based on another browser in use

Pretty cool to say I'm developer #194,327 on #Netlify - a million devs is a huge milestone, congrats, and thanks for the great platform!

You can find out where you joined at https://million-devs.netlify.com/

It turns out that I'm the sort of psychopath who grates cheese long side first 🙀

#Morph has just had a coughing fit, so of course I'm now Googling "can cats get #coronavirus" 😬😿

Has anyone's #Alexa recently stopped playing #Spotify? Ours has been infuriatingly crap recently and are now a useless waste of money that won't do their one job, so we're instead playing music through our phones 🤷🏽‍♂️

Very excited for the #IndieWebCamp Micropub pop-up session today - come join us to talk about the open standard for CRUD functionality on web tooling https://events.indieweb.org/2020/07/micropub-pop-up-session-kGMIMOXFUdBn

Pretty great #ApexLegends quest / hunts. Really enjoyed a season of solo play and story, and looking forward to what's been confirmed for next season!

Well, we were promised that #TechNott tonight would be an ambitious event. I'm super excited for the pink jacket to appear on screen!

"Don't worry, it gets worse" - why does anyone do anything with technology nowadays? Burn it all and get it out of your houses. http://skspr.mobi is scaring us all tonight at #TechNott

Best thing about Bluetooth headphones and #RemoteWork? Being able to run for a quick wee mid-meeting, and no one knows

I'm super excited to announce that I've been promoted to Software Development Engineer 3, and next quarter I'll be leading a new team as a Tech Lead (on the Individual Contributor track) 🎉🙌 https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/07/09/new-job-title-who-dis/

How has no one been talking about this #Hamilton thing?? It's pretty good 😝

Some really kick-ass talks from some really kick-ass people at tonight's #DevopsNotts - thank you all for sharing your stories and thoughts 💖

Great talk from Jessica White this morning at #NottsTechfast about Speaking in a Remote World - some interesting ways to make your speaking more effective remotely!

#Morph racing through the house and into the back garden at the sound of birds chirping is especially concerning 😬

Was in a really good position to get an early night - kitchen was sorted, I'd been for a walk, and just as I was heading up, I thought I'd check a couple of things on my desktop. 3 blog posts later 😴

Has anyone used #GoogleCloud Functions with a custom domain name? I've got a project I'd like to be hosted on my domain (for ease of memory) but can't see if there's any way aside from hooking in Firebase #GCP

Signed up for #DisneyPlus, tried to use the app to log in, nothing popped up to say how to use it, ended up having to type out a 32 character password on the TV 😬

Just got an AWS EC2 that had an IP address ending .0 - I didn't realise that was possible?

I've just ordered a #HermanMiller Aeron 🙀 I'm super excited to have a comfy chair, big thanks to the lovely friends in the #TechNott community for recommendations

Welp, another Scaleway random outage. Guess this weekend I actually migrate to Hetzner

For those that haven't seen, #Netlify now supports branch deployments via the CLI (and the API)! https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/06/03/netlify-cli-branch/

Note to self: create a /feeds page. I'm liking this idea https://marcus.io/blog/making-rss-more-visible-again-with-slash-feeds

Rewatching #HarleyQuinn tonight, very excited!

Hey @BarclaysUK do you do much cross-browser testing? I've just had 3DS fail multiple times when using Firefox, but then succeed on Chrome - pretty frustrating tbh.

Made worse as @eve_sleep then doesn't handle the error gracefully

Just pushed a fix for #MeetupMf2 that meant the cache was not expiring, therefore new events wouldn't show up for you - sorry! The fix itself is now documented at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/05/29/evict-spring-cache-schedule/

Reminder that tomorrow is #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow - hope to see you there! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/05/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-Rqs1Cfcxii4D

The only good thing about our country being in shambles over the poor leadership around #coronavirus is the top quality banter on Twitter after the fact
