Async is like that box of wires you have in your closet. Absolutely useful, but you are going to spend some time on it any time you want to use it.

The angrier someone else the less willing they will tend to be when it comes to listening to reason or truth, particularly when it runs counter to the object of their ire.

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

Most people don't read the release notes until after they installed something and it breaks... and then only when they complain and you have to tell them "it's in the release notes".

Ok, I hate my mechanical keyboard. In particular a few of my keys just won't register quickly enough... especially my shift key, its very mushy which is highly problematic. I've swapped switches, stabs, even the board. Originally got this b/c the old MBP keyboard was ass. Now I prefer my MBP (M1).

When did window management in Windows get so good? I'm impressed, they far surpassed macOS which has stagnated in this area, without really major updates in over a decade... and no the new stuff in macOS with the hot corners is not good and not major.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.

The windows installer should have space pinball or Hover (circa Win95) as games to play while you wait.

When I was a kid I would pull the covers up over my head, make them taught, and pretend I was an x-wing pilot. If I'm being really honest, I've definitely done that within the last year.

Before you spread panic about imaginary issues with Signal, consider why these rumors might be going around right now and in whose interest it might be for them to do so

Today is my last day at Docker. I really appreciated the opportunity to work with the people there, and I certainly learned a lot. I'll be looking for a role that sponsors non-US visas next. If you have any leads that I could be a good fit for, holler at your goose! DMs are open 💕

Tools are rarely strictly "better" or the "best". Everything has trade-offs. Some tool might be better in a specific scenario but worse in other scenarios. Other people can't tell you what is the "best". Test the tools and choose the one that gives you the most desirable trade-offs for you.
