- I expect to release a 2nd edition of the book "Refactoring", in the fall of this year martinfowler.com/articles/20180…
- posted: a personal note on why I wish to give up doing talks
- A trans friend of mine said that after Twitter stopped banning trans harassment, it took only 12 hours before she started getting death threats. Do we have Free Speech if bullies are allowed to make people afraid to speak?
