Are you struggling to find time to mentor the junior developers in your team? Do hold regular "learning hour" sessions with your team, and train skills like #TDD and #Refactoring. Next week - #trainthetrainer course "Deliver Learning Hours" - sammancoaching.org/training/del...

Just bought my ticket for @socrates-conference.at in Linz in two weeks. I will bring a new "Coding Fun" session to screw your mind already in the morning 😉

In two weeks (16th & 23rd September) I will run a Learning Hours Masterclass course from the Samman society together with @emilybache.com .
If you have run a few learning hour sessions with your team and want to dive deeper, then this is for you.
See sammancoaching.org/training/lea...

I am reducing my social media presence. If you want to contact me try LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/codecop/ or write me an email

These: Wenn wir nicht schaffen, Journalismus auf neue Art zu finanzieren, ist die freie, demokratische Gesellschaft nicht zu halten. Den größten Unsinn gibt es überall gratis, für kluge Hintergrundartikel muss man überall zahlen. Was wird sich logischerweise schneller verbreiten? So wird das nichts.

The photo is of the backs of people sitting in black plastic chairs, like at a conference. The person on the left is only half seen and wears a dark blue polo. The person the image is focused on wears a black hoodie with white writing on the back that reads “#NaaS No as a Service”

🍻 Here’s to you guys finding this funnier than my co-workers did.

Upcoming opportunities to get some online training with me in May:

Es knicken nicht nur die US Behörden größtenteils sofort vor den faschistoiden Forderungen der Trump-Nazis ein, sondern es ziehen auch jede Menge Firmen usw. mit, die in keiner Hinsicht mitziehen müssten.

So ähnlich muss das Anfang 1933 gewesen sein als sich alle überboten, "judenfrei" zu werden.

Mark your calendars and spread the word! Global Day of #Coderetreat 2025 is taking place on Nov 07, 2025 - Nov 08, 2025

This is huge for me! I'm so excited to be joining @davefarley77.bsky.social, @trishagee.bsky.social, @kevlin.bsky.social @stevesmithtech.bsky.social and @kentbeck.com on the Modern Software Engineering YouTube channel. Woohoo! I think we are all going to learn so much. youtube.com/shorts/eVQkE...

1 to get started

It's coming up, and I can't wait: #FroGSConf. A week from now, Saturday. I have a hands-on session in mind I want to run on #testing, but I also would like to do one on #QualityEngineering and the practical change to allow quality to be everyone's business. frogsconf.nl - it's free.

Open source needs even more work to look good, documentation, etc. Depending on your goals, eg public portfolio, it can be worth it or not...

It's like vitamins. You do not have to but it helps

He's not wrong.

Someone else posted this and I've been thinking a lot about how we got here

There is a library function in PHP to redirect stdout to a buffer. Maybe there is on for stdin too?

I'm trying to make a PHP translation of the Office Cleaning Robot Refactoring Kata (github.com/sammancoachi...) and I am stuck. The unit tests hang and I can't work out why. Help appreciated!

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

Assigning agency to techniques seems to me to be an attempt to avoid responsibility. “I used TDD & got poorly designed/unreliable/hard to understand code—not my fault.”

I know people were advised to use ChatGPT to work "smarter"

But I encourage you to stop using it for things like talk submissions and cover letters

People can tell and from the reader's perspective they all start to sound the same

If customers had higher expectations about quality, Gen A.I. would still be in the lab right now.
