Daniel Feldman.yaml on Twitter: “What does JIRA stand for? Wrong answers only” / Twitter

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/08

The response to [Wayback/Archive] Daniel Feldman.yaml on Twitter: “What does JIRA stand for? Wrong answers only” were so great!

Just a few that I liked very much:

  • It’s a recursive acronym for “Jira isn’t really agile”
  • Just Issues Rarely Addressed
  • jumbled information, reported arbitrarily
  • Jumping
    Into
    Real
    Agony
  • Just Individual Redtape Actions

Avoid a software rewrite: it usually brings more trouble and puts you at a distance to competitors

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/22

[Wayback/Archive] lisacrispin on Twitter: “👇 This. If you want a new architecture, use the strangler fig pattern, and as he says in the thread, do it in prod. If you spend all your time rewriting, and your competitors spend that time adding new features for customers, your product will be in trouble.” / Twitter pointed me to the below thread.

The urge of rewrite often comes from a feeling of too much technical debt to carry. Preventing that technical debt in the first place would make this feeling go away in the first place so please strive for bringing down and limiting technical debt in the first place.

More about the above tweet further on in this blog post, but now back to the “rewrite everything” pit many fall into.

I saved the whole thread in [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @andrestaltz on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App of which this are a few highlights:

XPath based bookmarklets for Archive.is: more JavaScript fiddling!

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/20

As I promised a few months back in Bookmarklets for Archive.is and the WayBack Machine to go to the original page, moar JavaScript fiddling, this time with XPath based bookmarklets to navigate from Archive.is pages to Saved From, Redirected from, Via and Original pages.

An alternative would be using XPath as the additional fields are always structured in a table like the html below (taking complex pages like https://archive.ph/5iVVH and https://archive.ph/2015.11.14-044109/http://www.example.org/ as an example).

I got triggered to using XPath from this answer from [Wayback/Archive] gdyrrahitis at [Wayback/Archive] Javascript .querySelector find by innerTEXT – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] passwd for asking):

Two Ways of Solo Programming – Seaside Testing

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/05

Food for thought from Stephan Kämper: [Wayback/Archive] Two Ways of Solo Programming – Seaside Testing

TL;DR:

  • it is about the time in between paid projects
  • mode 1: learning; each day ends with a working state (compiling source, passing tests)
  • mode 2: personal projects (libraries, tools); each day ends with a failing test as a guidance what to keep working on

The last one refers to [Wayback/Archive] Try ending today with a failing test for a great start tomorrow – DEV Community by [Archive] Nick Holden (@NickyHolden) / Twitter.
