    Hey #CasioCult, did you know there&amp;#39;s a dressy F91-W that&amp;#39;s even better than the A168? The A700 is slimmer and has a nice amber backlight. #watchesofmastodon

    @nickw this is honestly a great idea. The op eds are easily their worst content

    At the #codemash precompiler today and already met some very cool people and learned a lot about submitting my own ideas for talks. It&amp;#39;s been so long I&amp;#39;d forgotten how very enriching this conference is.

    So I gave a lightning talk at #codemash yesterday and didn&amp;#39;t give myself enough time to dive into my new favorite pattern: characterization tests Sometimes you&amp;#39;ve got code that resists being unit tested and actually *can&amp;#39;t* be refactored to a state that can be unit tested. But in this absolute worst case scenario, you can still test the whole artifact by mocking the inputs it wants and knowing what you expect the outputs to be.

    @myotive I also think android phones have yet to top the O.G. Motorola Droid. I never fat fingered the M and delete keys on that thing!

    Autocorrect and predictive text are so prominent on mobile devices now partly because every soft keyboard ever invented is a very poor substitute for actual keys

    What I really want is the slide deck and notes from the guy who gave the #codemash lightning talk about things that are DOOMing your DevOps because boy did I feel every single one.

    Kotlin has been the first class Android language for years now, and I&amp;#39;ve gone all this time thinking it was merely Oracle Java with the serial numbers filed off. I had no idea it pared down the syntax so nicely Looks a little like TypeScript at times. I guess I&amp;#39;m going down a Kotlin rabbit hole now...

    Getting along with stock GNOME: don&amp;#39;t be mouse-centric! The Super key is your friend! It presents the Overview and a search box. Enhance this search box by adding important locations under your home folder (it is not searched recursively by default). Learn or create keybindings for the notification area, quick settings, and your most-used applications. Do this, and Super+&amp;lt;key&amp;gt; alone will accomplish almost everything you&amp;#39;ll ever need to do with the Shell.
