- A little while ago, thoughtbot added a new team lead role and I started that
a week ago when we rolled that out into our London office. It’s exciting to
start doing something a bit different formally,
- Read The Coaching Habit; this was recommended to me by a friend a
month or so back and it’s all about giving less advice and asking more
questions. I ended up reading it on a sunny bank holiday afternoon in the
garden and I’d recommend it,
- Less successfully, I spent some time on a bit of a folly of trying to write
a script to rebuild all gems; I have a lot of Rubies installed from jumping
around different projects and I think Homebrew broke things by tidying up
OpenSSL. The main problem I faced is the shell just hanging, which is next to
impossible to debug. I ended up doing it all manually again and it took hours,
- Over the long weekend, I solved an issue I’d opened way back in November
2018, which is my way of saying: yeah, I really do get around to things
eventually,
- One of the problems of long weekends is that open source notifications
continue along: from a good state of being on top of them, as I write this
I’m far behind where I’d like to be,
- This past Sunday (19th Apr), I went for a cycle around what’s now a very
empty London, through a 30km loop from Hyde Park, up to Paddington and back
through Oxford St it’s very strange seeing areas which I’m used to being
so busy just being devoid of people,
