Link to a speech where he does this? I’d love to see receipts.



Wow, didn't know there were settings for this, thanks. I do suffer from motion sickness a bit.


Rexx was the favorite language of my high school programming teacher. I recall being surprised by the syntax being so similar to English text.

I'd credit the language for sending me down the rabbit holes of programming language design, self-documenting code, and literate programming. :)


Love it or not (mostly not), shipping software in large organizations requires navigating what the business and its leaders demand. You can try while ignoring leaders, but you'd be unlikely to ship anything.

You'd be in good company.

In my experience, there are plenty of people at BigCos who are more interested in covering their ass to ship nothing or the wrong things.


As someone who’s been thinking about feature toggles and continuous delivery often lately, OpenFeature has been helpful.

Kudos to the team!


This is a “standard” SDK for feature flags, allowing you to avoid vendor lock-in.

i.e., using feature flag SaaS ABC but want to try out XYZ? if you’re using ABC’s own DDK, refactor your codebase.

I appreciate that you can use the OpenFeature SDK with environment variables, and move into a SaaS (or custom) solution when you’re ready.


How did you all set this up? Any recommended resources?



You can buy some of that Lactobacillus species from ATCC: https://www.atcc.org/products/27651 They also sell bacterial pathogens and other things useful for researchers, so that's pretty interesting (at least to me). I never really think about the overlap of food and microbes.

It's also called Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis in some places. I can't quickly tell which is the more recent naming and what lead to that change. It's lactic acid bacteria regardless.


Thanks for proving me wrong! Good to get something more than anecdote :))


Narrative and clear communication aren’t mutually exclusive, but they are difficult to balance.

Storytelling is a skill.


Transactional email intended for other people is exactly my problem.

My name is common in certain areas, and I consistently get transactional email from banks, telecoms, and insurance companies around the world.

These businesses do not verify that their customer’s email is truly their own prior to sending emails.

Framing custom domains as the solution to this problem is a bit rash, no?


I'm not framing it as a general solution. But the GP was already migrating to a different domain and claimed this was the main blocker.
