Husband. Father. Software developer. Atheist. Die hard Habs fan. One foot in the blues. Canadian by birth, Caribbean at heart. I'm not late, I'm on island time.

I might write less code than you. And I might take longer to write it.

I'll still ship before you.

@GeePawHill Thank you for all the advice, wise words, and kindness over the years. I have learned so much from you, and I am unquestionably a better developer for having found your content.

Best wishes to you in your well-deserved retirement.

These fuckers are psychotic.
They are both ignorant and stupid.
They are cruel.
They are greedy.
They are jailing innocent people.
They are killing innocent people.
They are destroying our nation, the world, our society.
There is no good in them.
They must be removed.
If you don’t like programming, I invite you to do something else with your time instead of promoting the machine that lets you not do it. Some people actually like it, you jerks.

When I find I need the more advanced features of a mocking framework, I stop and ask "Why?" It's usually a design problem that needs fixing, which writing tests around would bake in.

Once or twice I've been asked in tech interviews, "tell us about a very complex system that you built."

This question reliably stumps me, because I don't feel like I've built complex stuff, even though I've shipped large, profitable, efficient and reliable systems. I've stuck to simple but effective designs and methods.

And that's the whole trick, really.
