Fascinating, horrifying, and amusing — all at the same time:

Forest and desert, or We Know How To Write Software

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nt6m8qtRbz0

I enjoyed this talk by @kentbeck and Beth Andres-Beck (whom I briefly had the pleasure of working with last year). Are you in the forest or the desert?

New Mastodon account, new #introduction.

Hi Fediverse, I'm Anthony, a Software Engineer and a recently naturalized British citizen (originally from Brazil) currently living in London.

Aside from #tech related subjects close to my heart (JVM languages like #java, #kotlin, #scala, as well as more general topics like #agile, #foss and #extremeProgramming), my interests include #astronomy, #immigration, #retrogames, #scifi and #travel.

I'm proudly 'owned' by a tuxedo cat named Sean Bean.

More about me.

I've always wanted to be a #writer of #scienceFiction and #fantasy but working as a #computerProgrammer, #softwareDeveloper, #agileTrainer, and #coursewareDeveloper is how I made my money.

I've written one #romcom #novel so far, not yet published, and a few articles on #extremeProgramming which were published. I might be a better editor than a writer.

my literary heroes include Terry Pratchett #discworld and Theodore Sturgeon

#introductions

I'm a techie, been playing with #linux and coding since mid 90s. Unreasonable love for #java and #sql

I've bounced between tech and people leadership roles #extremeprogramming #humanocracy #intentbasedleadership. Currently eng leader at Snyk reducing #developer suffering with #security

I #blog things about teams and tech at https://benjiweber.com/

I love #cycling both road and mtb

Far too much of my brain allocated to #startrek

Live long and prosper!
