Who needs chaos monkey when your CEO is just randomly unplugging whole server racks?
This evening's population density map is England. I have an urge to label everything but who knows, I might already have made mistakes. 😅
#rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale
It's probably about time I introduced myself!
👋 I'm Steph, a Principal Software Engineer in the UK. I help teams improve their development and release practices.
I'm newly diagnosed with ADHD and have a love for vintage style. You will generally see me in large impractical skirts.
I knit, crochet and game (mostly Destiny 2 right now) and I have two adorable puppers Finn the Scottie and Milo the Westie.

I'm spending Christmas with the in-laws in Catalonia. There are some... Unique Christmas traditions there which my wife explained to me with this video. 💩
Why do so many non ruby projects use ruby / rake as the build tool?
Like, bash is hard, I get it... but it works really well for gluing ci tasks together and it doesn't need to pull down a bunch of external libs.
Builds failing because your project depends on an old ruby version / code / deps isn't better.
Running everything through rake for a ruby project make sense, sure! Otherwise why are you wrapping a totally JS codebase's npm commands in a rakefile?
Just because bash can be intimidating doesn't mean that using ruby is the solution.

Saving the #AdventOfCode for the train journey back home. Just hope I'll have enough signal to load part 2! 🤞
How I solved today's (Day 6) #AdventOfCode with #Clojure :-)

Thankfully Day 6 of #AdventOfCode was easier than Day 5 as I'm travelling and didn't have as much time as yesterday! 😂
Same again tomorrow please!
