I must be a better-est person then.

Way back when, I implemented an algorithm from a paper (that a coworker wrote) and spent a lot of time debugging differences between ideal planar graphs and real-world road networks.
I wrote my own CLI debugging tool. Probably not as sophisticated as the subject at hand, but still amazing to use.

I self-sabotaged an interview once because I was asked about how I demonstrated "grit" and got so annoyed with the question and its subtext that I denied the premise.

Maybe a third? Or a quarter of a provision?

I mentioned my company (lettuce.co) in a previous thread. If you want to hear more, let me know.
And if not, I'll not pester you further.

I work remotely because I moved to a beautiful small town so I could have dogs. But also, I work remotely because I know the value of my labor... and so does my employer.

FWIW, we're leaning into DuckDB and that really does make a difference in that for most usages, it's possible to stitch together data from different sources very easily and ingestion from common sources can be done really nicely without using third-party tools.

Right now hours because no needs anything faster and we don't want to pay for a faster solution until there's a real need.

Doctrine of Labyrinths by @pennyvixen.bsky.social has this. Everywhere the characters travel, magic is done differently.

Here, have an even more mediocre picture of a deer.

I mean, they usually don't have any interest in being a better employer.

What about fretvine futures? Seems like an amazing investment opportunity.

We use one psuedo monorepo per architecture layer (and language). It mostly works but our scale is small.
I call them multirepos?

Maybe 15 years ago, while in rather good shape, I played paintball for a friend's bachelor party. The crouching and squatting were almost as bad as close rang shots.

I reviewed a few job candidates this week and half of them sent videos. On the one hand, these certainly convey more than a resume tailored to an HR department's opaque criteria. On the other hand, I'm very good at reading text quickly and not so much with video.

Our older dog is named Harvey. We frequently substitute his name into a certain alliterative poem...

It's awful. The NBA should want the best players to play in the playoffs. They need to reduce the number of games.

It's all disingenuous. Once someone's decided to put higher meaning into a technology, they aren't operating from a position that accepts reason.

I just bought this at my local bookstore! Excited because I loved Rooks & Ruin.

One of ours (husky, thankfully) chased after a smell while we were visiting the mountains (and three feet of snow) and wasn't recovered for 24 hours.
We love her so much.

I think it's a volume problem. It takes less effort than effort to write drivel, ergo it is harder than ever to find good thinking (and writing).

Age and maturity. It seems impossible now to treat people as anything other than themselves.

Post-human is rich tecnhoidiot wishful thinking.
Post-apocalypic is many things, including the most likely consequence of said idiots have enough power to pursue their wishes.

My own experience is a) lots of talking about AI, b) little real impact, c) plenty of anxiety.
My prediction: Jevons paradox.
Unit costs go down slightly, demand goes up. Some companies try/fail to cut costs, but repeat the same errors as with outsourcing.
Consultants make money.
