I don't think I ever did one of these and there's 🍍 all these new people 🍍 so: #introductions
I'm mostly a software engineer and #videogamer, with tangents to #cycling, failing to learn #Norwegian, and otherwise wasting a perfectly good B.Mus in #violin performance. I was a #moonkin (SERVER FIRST ALGALON 10), and now I'm a #Guardian.

Aw crap, do I have to stop using the short $lookup syntax (localField/foreignField) too if I want to use the index?
Shoulda used sparse. I knew I shoulda just used sparse.

I'm a big fan of Framework laptops, trying to tackle a problem like e-waste before it gets out of control (*coughs* Apple Fan Boys *coughs*). Reading a blog on just how much further they are going with recycled materials in the construction of laptop just makes it even more sweeter.

It's only an algorithm if it comes from the algorithm region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling conditionals.

Both watchmakers and bridge builders are engineers, but their challenges and techniques are very different, unique to their trade.
Software engineers build bridges out of watches.

"The Ethics Board says we can't abduct Humans for the Galactic Zoo."
"Told you."
"So we asked for volunteers."
"Human volunteers?"
"Yes."
"You asked the most curious, reckless, and inventive species we've ever found for volunteers?"
"We got lots!"
"What's your security budget?"

Honestly, you don't want my opinions here.
My opinions here would get me fired.
I'm out of charity for the rhetoric that has led us here.
I've lost all belief in all parties doing their best for what they believe is right.
It's all I can do to not explode with rage in every corner of my life.
So don't. Don't ask me to discuss it. There's not any amount of self-care that will make this "okay". This is not okay. I am not okay.

I am amazed at how "php is a shit language" is still such a thing, in any listing or discussion, especially of the "what should a noob learn" variety.
Yaknow... it powers the damn web. If you wanna do web, do php. It's actually pretty good.
And if you're planning on doing something else in CS, maybe it's not even relevant.
