alrighty-then, we got some blogs up to capture the last month's worth of muses...
TDD Pro-Tip: Wrap containers early & often.

geepawhill.org/pro-tip-tdd-wr…

In which GeePaw apparently annoyed a lot of people whose libraries and frameworks are intellectually perfect & pure.
Meta- Pro-Tip: Grasp and use the judgment premise even when reading these pro tips.

Coding Well vs Peopling Well: Why the boogeyman of a pair that can't code well pales in the face of a pair that can't people well.

geepawhill.org/coding-well-an…
TDD Pro-Tip: Focus on *our* *branching* *logic -- in which we face the reality that 100% tested isn't ever a reality and decide what to test.

geepawhill.org/pro-tip-tdd-ou…
Refactoring Pro-Tip: Prioritize Reading Code Over Studying the Domain -- because when you're *refactoring*, what matters is the code that's already there, not what should have been there.

Refactoring Pro-Tip: When I tackle a long method, the first thing I do is make my local variables maximally local.
Consider this psuedo-code. It's basic stuff, I'm betting virtually any geek can read it, but if not, lemme know.

gist.github.com/GeePawHill/0be…
In this chunk we have a long method. The first thing I'll do when I decide to refactor a method like this -- it's a *decision* made in a *context*, not some rigorous algorithm -- is study the locals, making the tiny little changes that will make them as local as I can make them.

Refactoring Pro-Tip: I use naming, isolation, and noise-filtering as strategies to keep the coder's intention at my fingertips.
(I'm actually jonesing to write some *geeky* material in this series, but I've got one more of these pesky abstract philosophy things before I can get there.)
First, a silly line from a silly movie, _Airplane_, which makes for a good Friday night comedy if you want that.

Refactoring Pro-Tip: The triggering events for refactoring vary, but the reason we refactor at all is the same each time, regardless of occasion: we refactor to enable change.
The most obvious and direct occasion for a refactoring is this: I want to add new functionality and preserve old functionality, and it will be easier to add if I first schmoosh the old functionality around a little to make a little hole where the new stuff will fit.
When I do this, I usually could make the same change without refactoring first. But I don't. Why? Because the schmoosh+add takes less time than just add.

Happy #JobsDay #JobsReport!

Expectations:

+200K jobs. If >0, that’d extend longest streak of monthly job creation on record to 93 months. So steady for so long (graph).

Unemployment expected to tick even lower: 3.8%.

Big question: wage growth?
I worked as @WhitehouseCEA senior economist for labor in 2016-‘17. Briefed @WhiteHouse & LaborSec on #JobsReport monthly

I was honored to serve American people:
@barackobama

Now I brief u!
At 8:30ET, we get the most-important read on economic change, especially for working families.

Public servants toiled all month surveying abt 200K bizs + individs, crunched into #JobsReport stats. Thanks @BLS_gov!
