Me explaining why I haven't made progress on a work task:
ALT Text message bubbles, both from me: "I got distracted by science" "But, like, other science"

I'm a software engineer with decades of experience. My code is used by hundreds of thousands, and I've taught software engineering in over a dozen countries.
I just had to ask a colleague for help in finding out why my code was not working.
The reason was I hadn't hit compile.

Not much in this release from me unfortunately... but that's because I've been working on other things ;)
TinyMCE 5.0.4 available now, bringing updated APIs and feature improvements to the latest major #TinyMCE release. Check the changelog to see what's new bit.ly/2QyAViI

Today was one of those days where I spent more time thinking and doing math than actually programming - and I loved it! Was so happy this afternoon when I finally made sense of all the magic numbers I was trying to correlate and got my code working. 😁 Gotta love logic puzzles

Honestly one of the best parts of Product Week last week was getting to talk to Marty about his use cases for and experience with TinyMCE. He gave us so many ideas for improvements and new features - and apparently we gave him some ideas too!
Did you know @joinTiny's TinyMCE v5 has an Autocompleter available? Me either - until one of the Tiny team showed me... and then the ideas started running.
Find out how easy it is to get your own Autocompleter plugin up and running.

This week at @joinTiny was our annual hackathon & boy was it fun to just go crazy! Also got to work with people from other teams - even someone from the Swedish team - which was amazing!!
Tl;dr: hackathons are the best team building activity I've encountered yet. Would recommend

Another fantastic Reason Town episode: Interview with @metricjs, a fellow Australian that works on the WYSIWYG HTML editor TinyMCE. She talks about evaluating JS alternatives & picking TypeScript but also her experience rewriting a TinyMCE plugin in Reason reason.town/millie-macdonald

Would be nice if Brisbane buses actually ran on time. Waited 10 minutes for a bus, didn't turn up so I called an Uber because I had to be somewhere. Just as we're driving off the bus turns up - 15 minutes late. The next one is supposed to be in 5 minutes. Such a joke.

All these datasets have the same statistical properties.
Including the dinosaur.
A reminder to be careful with means, variances and correlations - they can be deceptive.

At some point there is going to be the first huge successful MMORPG in virtual reality and I can't imagine how crazy it's going to be

Underrated way of getting started in open source -- helping triage. Just stepping through code and finding how a bug happens is really enlightening 🙂

I love when automated tests fail because they execute actions far faster than a human ever could
