Refactorings Roundup: 12/09/18 – 1/28/19

This entry is part 8 of 9 in the series Refactorings Roundups

Looks like people didn’t do much writing over the break and the start of the New Year, but did do plenty of reading. We have 8 posts by friends of ribbonfarm and 20 links from the dragnet.

This roundup is a human-filtered subset of links and short takes aggregated by the Feed Fox bot authored by Zach Faddis, and running on the refactorcamp.org Mastodon instance. You can follow the bot directly if you want the unfiltered firehose.

  1. I am commenting on this post with my blog link for potential inclusion. Newest post is called “Fools and their time metaphors,” which is inspired in part by Tempo and an old Ribbonfarm piece called “Fools and their money metaphors.” It’s about the metaphors we use when we talk about time (and the ways in which our calendar software is shaping/mediating our understanding of time). My Twitter handle is @aaronzlewis.
