today i worked from 10am to 9pm and I accomplished two new features, two previously undiscovered bug fixes, and a production release. Today I did good.
recently set up a listed.to blog via standard notes. It's pretty good software. https://techhippie.org/

"Close tabs to the right" is the best new feature added to modern browsers in the last decade.
It almost cured my propensity to constantly have 100+ tabs opened.

One part of the "Agile" movement's failure-by-marketeer that bugs me is that TDD, the most remarkable advance in technique that's happened in my 40+ year career, is still so widely misunderstood, misused, and misrepresented.

uhh, you claim to be starving and dying from the plague, yet you have a chimeny. i bet a sumerian high priest would have given anything to live in a house with a chimney
organizing a nationwide strike is hard
however, i have constructed an alternative plan which is much easier:
meetings are often postponed due to 1 member being unavailable.
the average paid vacation accumulation rate is 2weeks/yr
there are 52 weeks in a year
if you and 25 coworkers coordinated to take 1 rotating day of vacation every day, the meeting gets perpetually delayed and your workload is minimized. You're welcome.

Bad program idea: you can select text anywhere and "copy" it. Then, you can put your cursor somewhere else and "paste" it. The secret sauce is that, before pasting, you spend a few seconds watching an AI spinner that magically washes away the original copyright and protects you from plagiarism.

Co-worker said "The more I learn about networking the angrier I get at every piece of technology around me." That's so fucking true it isn't funny.

The “Keep _______ Weird” crowd needs to learn that the way a place gets weird is by having cheap housing so people can work part time or not at all and still make rent.

This Sam Seder/Steven Crowder drama is delicious.
Seder is just completely gloves-off being "slanted media", because he doesn't take Crowser seriously, and fuck that guy.
... He's brought David Cross (a comedian) on as a body language expert (a total bullshit type of commentary), to break down "BDSM Body Language of Steven Crowder." I can't even, amazing.
how do I hook into the gnome notification system and run a script upon delivery?

It is not fair to shut down criticism in that way.
Wasting taxpayers money on stupid project like the tunnels, destroying nature-preserves and calling people slurs such as "pedo guy" just because he did not like the "solution" does really need to be criticized.
Elon deserves to be criticized.
