Fuck this noise. PHP allowed a generation of people to play with building dynamic web sites, and made it simple enough that they didn't need StackOverflow to get things done.

"I don't have time to write tests". Do you have time to: 1. Run the app manually after each change 2. Investigate and fix broken builds 3. Investigate and fix QA errors 4. Investigate and fix production errors Add all that up. Writing automated tests *saves* time.

Looking back, I kinda regret not asking some of my ex-managers more about how they work before taking the respective roles. It can be easy to underestimate the impact one person can have on your career in the early years.

Instead of "Advice for being a woman in Science", can we agree to just have "How to not be an asshole that drives women out of science" course for men? I am sick of all the advice. It puts the work on women how to navigate a shitty system made for and by men.

Ever got a text like this? It doesn't necessarily look dodgy. But if you know what to look for, you'll see it has all the hallmarks of a scam 👀 Let's break it down (thread) 👇

I’ve heard being a man on the Internet compared to using an adblocker: same Internet, but you see a lot less shit. So I did this for a few people, so they could experience what it’s like to be a non-man online, at least a bit. To see what it’s like with the adblocker turned off.

Firefox is working properly. The "unintended behavior" is that the Twitter devs only ever tested whether the cache is kept in Chrome after using a non-standard Chrome-specific way to have the cache wipe itself. Basically the "our page works best! in IE6!" of 2020

Post details

Hugs to Twitter engineering who had to deal with their security incident. Frowns at Twitter comms for phrasing this to sound like it was somehow Firefox's fault.

Ever wondered how the @zoom_us macOS installer does it’s job without you ever clicking install? Turns out they (ab)use preinstallation scripts, manually unpack the app using a bundled 7zip and install it to /Applications if the current user is in the admin group (no root needed).
