I'm working on creating a training course for IntelliJ IDEA (I've been working on it for a while now, I don't really want to talk to much about it because I'm not sure when I'll actually deliver it). Anyway, as I was thinking through Features You Really Need To Know, I realised that it's not … Continue reading "IDE tips to save you from disaster" The post IDE tips to save you from disaster appeared first on Trisha Gee.| Trisha Gee
My latest video for the Continuous Delivery YouTube channel is about staying up to date in tech. For the last couple of years, all anyone can talk about is AI, and it can make you feel like you're becoming irrelevant if you're not learning or using AI. Don't worry, this is a feeling that is … Continue reading "Staying Relevant in the Tech Industry" The post Staying Relevant in the Tech Industry appeared first on Trisha Gee.| Trisha Gee
Context and Background It's currently 2024, and I was looking for some "Getting Started with DevRel" content from my blog. All my posts are in a GitHub repo/IntelliJ IDEA Project first, and then ported into WordPress at some point. Searching my IntelliJ project I found this post, which apparently I wrote in 2020 and never … Continue reading "Getting Started with Presenting" The post Getting Started with Presenting appeared first on Trisha Gee.| Trisha Gee
This week's video for Dave Farley's Continuous Delivery YouTube channel is me ranting about why reading code sucks, and offering some advice on how to improve. "Every programmer occasionally, when nobody’s home, turns off the lights, pours a glass of scotch, puts on some light German electronica, and opens up a file on their computer. … Continue reading "Reading Code Is Hard, and tips to improve" The post Reading Code Is Hard, and tips to improve appeared first on Trisha Gee.| Trisha Gee
During the last four weeks, I've been to a few conferences. Sick of wearing the same t-shirts and jeans, I've been experimenting with different outfits. By far the most successful t-shirt (yes, I know, I said I was sick of wearing t-shirts) was a new one I designed for the Develocity Developer Advocates showing our … Continue reading "Flaky Fashion" The post Flaky Fashion appeared first on Trisha Gee.| Trisha Gee
Today I'm experimenting with something new. Given how much I'm working with videos these days, I thought I'd do a short video about the conferences and events I'll be at between now and the end of 2024. If you're more of a reading person than a watching person, here's the TL;DW: Remember, you can check … Continue reading "Trisha’s Events, Autumn 2024" The post Trisha’s Events, Autumn 2024 appeared first on Trisha Gee.| Trisha Gee
A few glasses of fizzy were consumed during the JetBrains party at Devoxx Belgium last year: Holly: You do presentations about productivity, and about developer happiness, and I do presentations about developer joy. We should do a presentation together! Me: Yes! What a fantastic idea! Two titans of the London Java Community co-presenting on a … Continue reading "Are Developer Productivity and Developer Joy opposites?"

I ran a poll asking my followers which content to produce for Dave's Continuous Delivery YouTube channel. I found it interesting, but I guess not all that surprising, that the results depend upon who you ask. This is Twitter (no I will not call it by its new name, actually I want to call it … Continue reading "In which we discover the audience really matters" The post In which we discover the audience really matters appeared first on Trisha Gee.| Trisha Gee
I freaking HATE flaky tests. The first time I worked in an environment that had real Continuous Integration with Actual Automated Tests that Actually Ran, it was like... freedom. We literally got the green light that our new code was working as expected, and that any changes we made hadn't broken anything. And refactoring... before … Continue reading "Flaky tests are poisoning your productivity" The post Flaky tests are poisoning your productivity appeared first on Trisha Gee.| Trisha Gee
Have you ever run a Gradle build that failed and seen this message? I remember the first time I saw this message. I was having a particularly difficult time with solving my build issues, so I did what was suggested. After I published the build scan, I saw something like this: Actually it probably didn't … Continue reading "What on earth is a Build Scan, and why do I care?"
