ONE. WEEK. TO. GO. Look, I’m biased, of course, but I really think you should pre-order this book. It’s summer, you’re maybe going to the beach or the mountains, taking some time off work, and you know what you need? A page-turner of a read. Well, look no further!
THE NOVA INCIDENT by @dmoren is out next week! Pre-order the third instalment to THE GALACTIC COLD WAR series now! smarturl.it/thenovaincident

Teaching closures. If your class has only an initialiser and one method then it would probably be better as a closure. If you haven't yet seen it watch the excellent PyCon talk "Stop Writing Classes" by Python core developer @jackdied youtube.com/watch?v=o9pEzgHo…

Here’s what we learned from this conversation with @CalEvans and @joshholmes: 1. Public speaking allows you to get knowledge from one brain to another 2. Starting small is the key to landing your 1st speaking engagement bit.ly/3jknXSN #devcommunity #softwaredevelopers
Hey, looks like the ebook edition of my first novel, THE CALEDONIAN GAMBIT, is just 99 cents on Amazon right now. If you like space and spies and wisecracks, you might enjoy it! (And if you do, there are two more books for you to pick up 😁.) amazon.com/Caledonian-Gambit…

Especially because most RRSPs will have lost *significant* value very recently. Nothing like selling low to make sure the hole you've dug is deep enough that you might never actually crawl out of it.

People ask me still why I prefer to use windows still. I've become a better programmer because I've learned not to make environment assumptions and to think about things instead of assuming the common code path always.

As long as you’re all up spending money on phones, it’s also a great time to pre-order my next book, THE ALEPH EXTRACTION, which comes out in May of next year. Which is definitely before the *next* next iPhone arrives. dmoren.com/the-aleph-extract…

Never use one line of code when three lines would be more concise.
