Coach, Mentor, Strategist

I’m Harry Bailey and I help foster tech teams and the humans who help form and fuel them. My work creates better outcomes, more value, happier humans and solid autonomous teams.

I work with companies of all shapes and sizes who are struggling to make Scrum, SAFe and other agile frameworks work for all areas of their business.

My experience as an agility coach, product owner, business owner, tech strategist and software developer enables me take a team-focused approach. I look to support value creation at every level from pair coding through to business strategy.

Some describe my role as Delivery Coach and some as Agile Coach. My preference is Agility Coach. ‘Agile’ isn’t something to be achieve, and our focus as members of software development teams should be on removing the impediments that limit agility. I work with teams of all sizes and experience levels to be better tomorrow than they are today.

Chrome browser masking PHP errors

I thought I was going mad for a while, but it turns out that sometimes spotting php error messages which come back from the server to the Google Chrome browser can be really tough.

If the error is inside an html element or attribute of an html element you’re going to struggle to see it in Google Chrome…

<a href="<?= $Model->fakeFunction(); ?>">link</a>

If $Model doesn’t have a method called fakeFunction then php will spit a “Fatal error: Call to a member function” error. The page that is displayed in Chrome won’t show you the error and viewing the source will also hide it from you.

Even the elements tab in Chrome Developer Tools won’t show it.

There only way I’ve been able to find the error content is to look at the network tab in Chrome and view the raw response of the document back from the server.

A few hours lost on this one!
