Absolutely loving an ambulance service tweeting an endorsement for w3w which neatly demonstrates the basic problem with using w3w for emergencies. The location they specified is in Kazakhstan, I guess they meant .florists.
Ambulance care assistant Margaret captured this beautiful photo. To find out where it was taken, download the What3Words app and search names.rank.florist
@what3words makes it easier to identify your location should you need us #KnowExactlyWhere

"is there a German word for X" tsk. Y'all have become too dependent on imports for your word needs! Language is not a spectator sport, if you want a word, make one! Shout-outs to whoever discovered there was a "yeet"-shaped hole in English like 10, 15 years ago.

I have found a lot of "coders" entirely ignore the value of project management because they don't understand it very well. Perhaps that attitude leaks into FOSS projects, only for them to discover a need for certain things and then have to do them as coders not PMs & thus badly.

I think FOSS projects often suffer for a lack of 'true management' because a TL ends up expected to do the bare minimum of management functions while also being a team lead, and that isn't great.

Better than:
Site: Choose a password
Me: (generates strong password)
Site: Not that strong
Me: (generates less strong password)
Site: Not that strong
Me: (gives up)
For me, management and leadership are two very different skillsets. Sometimes they vest in the same person; but usually I wouldn't expect managers to be deep in code; just like I wouldn't expect team leads to be trying to write project plans and delivery schedules.

Hi everyone -- could you please help me out with something for work? I have a 4-question survey about jobseeking. I need responses from:
=> People in the U.S.
=> Aged 21-35
=> 1-5 years into their careers.
Even a retweet would be helpful! Thank you!

Having worked in/with the automotive industry for a long time, I'm saddened, but not surprised, by this. The big problem is that most 'cybersecurity' experts in automotive are not actually well versed in modern software engineering.

I use it if I'm not certain I grok the docs, or think the docs aren't right. Reading the code is often harder than the docs, but can help enlighten.
