I’d just volunteer my buttplug

I will gladly subscribe to any newsletter about those three things.

I have no idea what I’m doing, but also not enough fear to be careful. Running Bazzite is for my own good.

My team has moved to a thing we call “ScrumBan” and it’s worked pretty well. There still are 15-min Dailies, and a Review and a Retrospective each Sprint, but we cut almost all meetings that are about sitting around and “planning” tasks (aka awful 7-hour meetings where everyone just zones out and guesses random story point numbers). Instead, tasks are planned and moved to the board on demand and never in the presence of the entire team. It gives everyone so much more time to just focus on their work.

It’s surprisingly good as a backend language, if you don’t really need OOP all that much. The perfect case is probably using it in microservices that only really need to do a bit of data manipulation and some database interfacing.

I was recently debugging something with the Junior on my team and told him to install Bruno to make a few API calls. He installed it, but then couldn’t find an icon for the Program anywhere (and obviously the Win11 Search bar was only delivering useless results). So I told him to just type “bruno” into his terminal and see what happens. It actually opened the program! I have never felt this smart before!

Maybe not as a dev, but those qualifications make you perfect for tech support. The support people where I work have their own beer fridge plus dedicated lockable containers for their liquor and no one would ever dare mess with that. And if you’re good at support, there’s a high chance you’ll get promoted to the Product Owner role pretty fast!

Not to spread concern or anything, but the electrical grid is managed and controlled by software. And that software may or may not be very reliant on AWS. I’m probably not allowed to say more than that.

Oh, those AIs just really love that 2013 Hannibal Series!

It’s all right there in the Figma prototype that hasn’t been updated in 7 months!

Gross, I only date people who are Views or Controllers

The switch to winter time was last sunday, it’s been a fun week at work so far.

- “Oh, DNS issue?” “Yup.”

(DNS has been around since 1983)

Holy shit, it actually works!

It’s beautiful and very handy, if you use it exactly like they want you to! Getting it to play nice with custom components is so fiddly though ;_;

Godspeed! I can’t even handle Tailwind yet since I’m so used to MaterialUI’s stupid styling system. Gotta break out of those proprietary systems and rawdog CSS one day, but today is not that day yet…

Oooh the latter would make so much more sense! I’m not a cloud developer, but a good chunk of the code I write runs in AWS Lambdas and EC2 Images and I was so confused as to what relation that would even have to local storage. If anything, I’m afraid of Terraform and it’s arcane power

Hey, this is awesome for saving space when writing things to NFC tags! Every bit still matters with those suckers

Get her the penguin!! You’ll be out of the equation entirely but she’ll be very happy!

I will punch any guy if he starts talking to me about Postgres
(the senior architect on my team is getting better at dodging)
