I've created a free course on crypto. The goal is to demystify blockchain, BTC, ETH, NFTs, the DeFi ecosystem, etc. Email me at [email protected] with the subject line "crypto course" for access. Nothing to upsell. Just trying to level the playing field.

Big day! 10 years ago today, @testdouble officially opened for business. (We tweeted about it a few days before we actually started work. I guess that means we launched in whatever the opposite of stealth mode is: teapaw.org/testdouble/status/1342… ) A thread reflecting on 5 memories 🧵

This week on Elixir Wizards: We're talking to @ajose01, a Software Engineering Manager at one of the oldest dot-coms, @carsdotcom and how he became involved in the migration of their entire platform to Elixir. Not to be missed! smr.tl/3bYDCCx #elixirlang

Just uploaded video of my #rubyconf talk from yesterday! It's a fun, fast-paced guide to creating a new Ruby gem as well as a distillation of all the lessons I've learned from dozens of (mostly bad) gems over the last decade. I really hope you enjoy it! 💚 blog.testdouble.com/talks/20…

This week, CARS employees had the pleasure of partnering with @mbmhmc to assist in cleanups across the city. As a Chicago-based company, we loved having the opportunity to give back to the communities we live and work in. #CARSAction #MyBlockMyHoodMyCity

And, as always, @testdouble was top quality throughout. I appreciate that TD Agents are not just coders. They are partners.

The fact that we got to play a small part in helping them accomplish this transformation really means a lot to me. It was also fun getting an opportunity to help assemble a team to undertake such a significant project using Elixir and Phoenix. More here: testdouble.com/clients/cars

All true! j/k All the credit goes to the team of outstanding individuals all brining their full self to the mission.

Fred orchestrated—and his team successfully pulled off—the one thing everyone says to never attempt: a big epic rewrite. Of one of the longest-lived businesses on the Internet. More than a new frontend, they reinvented the whole stack—all without so much as an operational hiccup.

I think it's time to discuss the efficacy of Pull Request Reviews as a way to ensure code quality and shared understanding on software teams. Here's a little thread on some of the experiences I've had in my career, why I think this matters, and what we can do about it.
