Has anyone used an automatic translation tool that generated code in multiple languages that does sensible things in #python? AWS CDK and Docusign both use such tools, both generate libraries that are awkward (and in some cases just wrong).

If your going to publish a #python SDK for your service, add type hints. Also, understand what "async" means in that language, not what your automated translation took thinks it does. Looking at you here, @docusign.bsky.social

@transport_wales Why is your site reporting a "good service" on the Cityline while engineering work is going on?

What do people with smaller teams use for roadmap and idea tracking (B2B products)? We used Aha in a previous place but it very much feels like overkill for the current team/product. Mainly I want customer-facing idea portal and some roadmapping through to Jira for the dev team.

Well, a large part of the tech community and some big names (Stephen Fry for one) I follow has either left Twitter or added to their social media apps by signing up to Mastodon. What is it? https://mjcarty.com/2022/11/12/mastodon-faq-toot-sweet/

I see #Evri and @Wayfair are working hard to compete for "worst customer service" this weekend.

An hour of sitting down and working out the design and flow of a complex thing (and complex varies depending on skill) is 10x better than just diving in to a whole day of writing and rewriting code and results in cleaner, more readable and logical code.

@nmeans Watched your session from LeadDev on UA232. Great story telling - resonated really strongly, I've been working on bringing lessons from aviation to both tech and medical (through volunteer work with SJACymru) for many years. I find generic CRM resources... 1/2

A long shift with some really difficult jobs on Friday, so after some discussions with colleagues yesterday to walk through the job, I'm taking some time to put thoughts down in a reflection today and get them out of my head.

@cardiffcouncil Reported blocked road drain last week, crew are out clearing it today! That's fast service - please pass on our thanks to the team! 👍

Hey @Authy users of our site are getting some very random logos when adding our site to the app. Images I can't even find on a google image search with the same term. How can I influence the logo that users get on our site?

There are times when @awscloud feels like a poorly implemented toy project. If you happen to be using Fargate and want to deploy a new version of your software, should be simple right? Nope: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/3064

@cardiffcouncil any change to refuse arrangements for tomorrow given the strong winds? I can see recycling bags becoming airborne in this wind... #StormEunice

I've just downloaded the latest @Luxafor software but without any documentation, I'm sat here wondering why I'm suddenly getting a purple light using Teams integration?

Hey, @monzo you were talking about bringing in electronic cheque deposit through the app over 3 years ago (https://monzo.com/blog/2018/06/21/paying-cheques-into-monzo) - still not in the app today?

Hey @Esso_GB, any particular reason your franchise garages are refusing Ambulance fuel cards? This was at Cowbridge Road in Cardiff @TriciaFrance59

Actually, scratch that, today's biggest irritation is the lack of IPv6 support in @awscloud CDK....which is pretty shocking?!

Today's irritation: The fact that S3 bucket names are globally unique and not unique to an account. #why

Biggest pandemic takeaway for me has been how many people misunderstand Public Health and believe that personal choices override public health and well-being.
