Michael Foord's 30 best practices for software development and testing

He/Him

Humanist. Consumer of horror & sci-fi. Listener of audiobooks. Taker of mediocre photos. Backyard gardener.

I also have a passion for environmental sustainability, open source software, cooking & baking, museums and libraries, and art generally.

I'm learning to sketch and paint with watercolors. There's more, but this'll do for now.

I'm a work in progress. Some assembly required.

EEE, Software developer (mostly C++), entrepreneur, MBA, father, life-long sailor.

Free-range computer scientist living in Evanston, Illinois. Former academic. I teach computer science courses, but you'll probably find me yapping on about bikes, dogs, and other random stuff here. I wrote the Python Cookbook, 3rd Ed (O'Reilly) and Python Distilled (Addison-Wesley).

I like too many things to have time for all of them.

If you like TTRPGs, board games, war gaming, tech, coding, FOSS, etc. I think we'll get along!

I'm an #antitheist #Philippines-based #neurodivergent (#AuDHD) #GenX man with #CPTSD. My personal page has a short bio and I post here about my neurodifferences. I also post pics of my #dogsofmastodon and some tech musings, often related to #Apple, #RaspberryPi, and #Fedora #Linux. I build software for a living and will fight the rise of #AI until my dying breath. I'm also an #NGauge #modelrailway fan but am not posting about that yet.
I don't follow accounts that auto-delete.

he/him

You probably heard about me because I am the founder of the Twisted python networking engine open source project. But I’m also the author and maintainer of several other smaller projects, a writer and public speaker about software and the things software affects (i.e.: everything), and a productivity nerd due to my ADHD. I also post a lot about politics; I’d personally prefer to be apolitical but unfortunately the global rising tide of revanchist fascism is kind of dangerous to ignore.
