Software engineer, that writes communication and control systems mostly in C.

David Speers isn’t moderating a debate, he is doing 2 interviews at the same time and is just talking over these 2 over and over … it’s frustrating as hell to watch

For the first time in my career i have seen a group move a repo from GIT to SVN 🤦♂️
Talk about a backwards step, literally just committed the head to SVN and lost all git history

This is a great read on how to build software quickly and effectively, and I would highly recommend taking the time to go through it.

Best Simple System for Now
You can have your cake and eat it, as long as you bake it carefully.
‘We can do this the quick way and pay later, or the thorough way and pay now.’ This seems to be a fundamental dichotomy in software...

100% this, prescribed burns to control fuel loads has been an effective bush fire management tool in WA.
Sadly the window we can do these burns safely appears to be shrinking due to the impacts of climate change

"The choice we face is not between fire and no fire. Rather, it’s between mild prescribed fires that are set and managed at a time of our choosing, versus uncontrolled and extremely intense wildfires that ignite during the hottest and driest times of the year"
Fighting Fire with Fire
We know how to prevent catastrophic bushfires. For more than half a century, Western Australia has been reducing forest fuel loads through a systematic program of ‘prescribed burns.’

Got an LED to blink using Rust on the ESP32-C6
Super basic, but cool to see how relatively straightforward the Rust environment setup is for this.
Now to tackle the RGB LED

Decided I should get some hands on experience with embedded rust
Gonna have a play with it on the ESP32-C6 dev kit with a GlowBit LED matrix

Todays Advent of Code got me stumped for 15 mins, where I had the test input passing but failing on the full input
Eventually got there, also my Rust skills are well rusty

The best way to design software is to write code, and try to push off as much complexity until it is absolutely necessary.
Be willing to throw that code away and start again.
There is nothing like the act of doing, it’s the ultimate teacher.

Ohh I have been thinking this for the past few days
Me: 'I’ll just fix this one bug.'
5 hours later: 'What if I rewrote the entire app in Rust?'

I’ve been told that work is closing the Perth office at the end of February and I’m out of a job.
After 12 years at this, developing communication and control products for the energy sector, it’s a sad ending.

A psychology PHD could write a really interesting thesis on software engineers / developers and their obsession with making code as complex as possible as soon as possible
