Probably out in the bush on a bike, or tinkering on something way, way, way off the critical path.
The exceptionally dialled dual crash choke on cymbals that are behind him and out of his view at the very end is really something

Looks like an ideal location to me!

Okay I see now I was way behind on episodes and it was not 3 days ago you were talking about this 😂

Okay, it's pretty good.

I’ll be down there with a couple other folks from Springloaded. Denver is an awesome spot. Hoping to catch a show at the red rocks while I’m down there. Such a sick venue!

Did a Washington > Oregon > Cali trip a few years back. Couldn’t agree more!

Have you used Pipelines? Pretty handy for this sort of thing.

Curious what you’d use this for in practice?

Those heel hooks look so satisfying!

Ahhh gotchu, gotchu. I stand by my anti-random tirade regardless 🫡

We don’t just apply this to dates anymore either, we generally lean away from randomization in tests, narrowing the scope to values that are very realistic, like a random enum value. In our experience, randomness in tests doesn’t correlate to a more robust app, but it does correlate to flaky tests

It’s almost always daylight savings. We have a couple 4000+ test suites that we maintain and we’ve essentially had to stop randomization of dates. It would inevitably create flaky tests.

I’m still not convinced it’s not just shredded cheese
March 16, 2025 at 12:58 AM
I thought it was just grated cheese with a mountain of chili on top
