It is the true teacher who leaves the class knowing they have learned the most.

Thanks Kell. At least on paper, as they say 😊 sadly it's behavioral health that is vastly underwhelming in AZ much less anywhere else. But I I must admit pleasure being a thorn in the side of what they think they know in medicine and they so do not know! Hope you are good!

I think it took tremendous courage and I am very proud of you. Not that you even know me well or it would matter but know that somebody out there really is pulling to see your success in this I know that you are needed and necessary in our industry I am so supportive of you!

In personal news, new doctor, new blood work and my red and white cells are NORMAL and blood chem quite good, tumor markers all negative nearly 10 years of death at my door yet somehow I'm a complete anomaly and am proud to stick my finger 🖕 at #BigPharma and US #healthcare FTW!

Was it? Computer programming typically required far more rigor than we see in the web industry for good reason - at least theoretically. Look at what happened to draconian error handling in XML. How many learn JavaScript as a language? Or for that matter even HTML, CSS? 😑

Would that everyone thought more carefully (or knew how to) about our code, potential longevity, of course the commenting and cleanup of hacks and old bugs as you mentioned and knew what risks legacy issues can cause! It's at subject for at least a book, a talk, and courseware!

How true! So it kind of means that legacy is actually up to last hour of committed code... Maybe it's our perception of time that's the problem.

That's actually a very good distinction. I would add a third category however and that is that generated code and Frameworks or overuse of APIs with no real rubric of education for knowing code in the context of web? I worry people don't know which language they're writing!

Yeah but I fear over-reliance on modules and Frameworks and pieces that people don't really study or understand the origin of that generate code create a legacy problem that is a deficit of profound proportions, affecting performance, security you name it. That's what concerns me

In the 60s n 70s breaking up monopolies was our order of the day. Now none of the consumer advocacy and reign in corporate single stakeholder domination is apparent to me in this generation. When will life matter more than profit? wsj.com/articles/amazon-clos…

Well when you have attorney generals in States like Arizona for example it becomes very clear why no one wants to enforce anything lest enforcement would get in the way of their own megalomaniacal agendas. It's a travesty no question. 🤑😪

Anybody check out this Bunny DNS routing? Far as I can see it has some adv
advantages (open and opt-in sounds great in theory. Curious as to what network ops folk think. #Internet #DNS bunny.net/blog/transforming-…
That you did it at all is a big accomplishment. With time it will get easier and you'll have a ritual and way of doing things that will emerge. More importantly do you feel you conveyed your points are well enough to some audience members? Even one matters!
Lessons learned though! This was my first ever large conference in-person talk and I am glad I made it at least. I want to learn from this experience and move forward. I may not get it perfect in my first try but I will surely get better and constantly improve! #a11y

I wonder if Coca-Cola México 🇲🇽 would make me a St. Patrick's Day version of Mexican Coke in green... Think they would? For me??? Happy St. Patrick's Day 😜 🍀🍀🍀
