Interesting. I dislike writing bash scripts so this might appeal to me, but probably not before a stable 1.x release.

I leave my PR in draft until the checks pass. I don’t want anyone reviewing it when it’s broken.

But on the flipside, it’s hard for me to stay concentrated while at home.

While I believe that is true for you, I don’t believe it justifies the lost time, health, and environmental damage of mandating in-office for everyone.

The office is super distracting for many people.

Oh, I read your thing backwards then.

I can’t imagine wanting to go into the office on the regular. The commute. The lost time (can math out to like a 20% pay cut, if you spend two hours a day traveling + getting ready). The sickness. The lack of control over environment (temperature, sound).

Can’t relate to it. And I’m a very social person that likes interacting with people.

Every day I’m a little surprised there’s no news story of some workers beating their “no, you have to come into the office” manager to death. They’ve got means, motive, and opportunity, and it’s extra funny because if they’d been allowed to work at home they wouldn’t have at least two of those.

But really we’re ruled by the worst of us. Cowards and fools.

Maybe unionizing is safer than hitting the decision makers with an office chair while screaming “you made this possible” until they can’t even cry anymore.

Working from home doesn’t appeal to the emotional needs of fragile managers.

Is this a joke?

We should unionize and eat the useless managers.

I remember thinking it was cool when Doom loaded with R_Init: Init DOOM refresh daemon

People may have heard of these things, but I don’t think most people could give an accurate description of what they are.

I use nano for quick edits. I don’t know more than the basics of vim, and don’t do a lot of editing on the terminal so I haven’t needed to.

Ars is weirdly pro-windows sometimes , in the comments. I don’t read them as much as I used to.

I can see the appeal but I wouldn’t trust it.

Related thought: I despise how much stuff is made into video when a few paragraphs, maybe with a gif, would do just fine.

Why would someone want a page summarized?

If it’s short, just read it.

If it’s long, the LLM will probably fuck it up.

They’re really going after the illiterate and lazy segment.

There’s also the class of comments that explain strange business decisions.

# Product guy said to return January 1st if the user doesn't have a birthday on record

Kind of arbitrary but someone with decision making power decreed it.

Pop!_os has been fine for me. I’m not a tinkerer. It’s a machine for a web browser and video games.

I’ve known several people who moved from QA and testing to developer roles, but usually as an internal transfer.

Most recruiters and management don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to technical details, so it’s not surprising a lot of them think “Oh the guy who knows how software works and how to handle edge cases? No, we don’t want him”

Fuck test automation, it’s a fucking trap get out of it as soon as you can

lol.

Meanwhile, the org I work at has no test automation, so things that should be trivial require hours of tedious, error-prone, manual testing. Also they break stuff and don’t find out until after it’s merged.

I have no regrets from setting my editor to save-on-blur

I was on some website the other day and I opened the browser console for unrelated reasons. They had a giant message there that was like “STOP. If someone asked you to paste something here, you are probably going to be hacked. Do not do anything here unless you know what you’re doing.”

Which, admittedly, is probably good advice.
