Unsurprising-in-hindsight: webcams are suddenly sold out all over the place, especially those recommended by Wirecutter.
A feature I’d love to see in Slack/MS Teams/etc.: when I set my status to “Away”, change the whole theme of the app (dark, transparent, italic… ¯\(ツ)/¯). So easy to forget to mark myself Available on return, hard to notice a little “away” glyph in the corner of the screen.
Just confirming that my blogging-from-drafts action works perfectly in Drafts for Mac, as well.

How to Over-Complicate Your First Conference Talk
In January 2020, I was lucky enough to be selected as a speaker at CodeMash, an annual software development conference in Sandusky, OH. It is a fantastic event which I would highly recommend to anyone.
The video of my CodeMash session, Test-driven Development: Save Your Time, Save Your Sanity, Write Great Code Fast is now available.
Free for all, thanks to @codemash and @pluralsight.
Writing your own slide-presentation app is a bad idea, even if you really want that one extra feature. Anyway, here’s the thing I cobbled together to deliver my #CodeMash presentation. Do as I say, not as I do (or at least do it better).
The slides and demo project from my Codemash 2020 presentation, “Test Driven Development - Save your time, save your sanity, write great code fast”, are up at https://roub.net/pres/codemash2020/. #codemash
Unforeseen consequence of building a web app to run my presentation’s slides (long story, it’s doing demo-project git checkouts along the way) - need to come up with a way to export/share the slides. Yay, airplane project! #codemash
Since I’ll be so close to my hometown for #codemash next week, I couldn’t resist getting involved with Brent Kirby’s 10x3 Songwriter Showcase, playing a few songs and hanging with old friends.
