I can't stand X anymore. I have switched to Mastadon:

@ploeh, do you use TDD to make performance improvements? That is, if you want to make some production code use less time, do you always write a test that fails without that optimization?
At @forwardnetworks, we typically don't add such a test. Instead, in the body of the commit message, we include the reports from performance runs for a recent previous commit and the current commit.

And while you are there, also check out my previous post, which I see now I forgot to tweet about at the time.

I have a question about footnote 8 on page 25 of Code That Fits in Your Head by @ploeh. I quote it next with some modification to shorten. 1/3
> In Visual Studio, the warnings-as-errors setting is associated with a build configuration [, such as Debug or Release mode]. If you want to change this setting for both configurations, you have to remember to do it twice. 2/3
That is not my understanding. I think it is possible to treat warnings as errors for all configurations with a single line of code. I created a demo that does this. Am I misunderstanding something? 3/3 github.com/TysonMN/WarningsA…
> I chose to name the interface [IReservationRepository] after the Repository pattern. I did that because most people are familiar with the name and understand that it models data access in some way.
~ 4.3.6 in Code That Fits in Your Head by @ploeh (with omissions by me)
1/2
At @FwdNetworks, we would name this ReservationDao. There is no "I" prefix because we use Java, which doesn't follow this convention like .NET, and "Dao" stands for "data access object".
2/2
Java has a type called File with an instance method called isFile... and it is not even a verbose way of representing the boolean true *facepalm*

A question from @tyson_mn triggered a response that's almost an entire blog post in itself. You can regard it as bonus content for this week. Learn about invariant functors here: blog.ploeh.dk/2020/10/19/mon…
This would be a wonderful feature for GitKraken. Please go there and upvote!

After nearly six years of employment, today is my last day at Blocher Consulting. It was an excellent place to work, and I am grateful for the opportunity. I was welcomed when I finished school, and great coworkers became great friends. (1/2)
Even as I am excited for what's next with @FwdNetworks, I will miss what I am leaving. A big thank you to everyone for such a wonderful experience. (2/2)
