You could spend 100m in a day on real estate where I live. There are multiple 40-50m parcels available all over the place.

I hear you, but I disagree. My people are great at slacking me or each other when they need stuff. We have a great collaborative atmosphere. They set up meetings with each other and with me as needed, and I’ve heard over and over that they really like that. I have weekly 1:1 meetings with each of them, and usually we hang up after 15 minutes because they know what they’re doing and can get back to it.

Imagine actually going to daily standup, wow

I made a daily meeting invite, and told my team to never show up to it. Lets them show up to work an hour later since I put it in the calendar for 930-10.

Which will also mean a renaissance for classic vehicles for EV conversions. Currently the EV market is too small to really support them, but as EVs start hitting junkyards, it will become a big deal.

Also my fav OP :)

Rcpp is probably the best thing to ever exist.

I reject tidyverse though

Discovery didn’t find its feet, it found the bottom of a bottomless pit of bad writing.

SNW and Lower Decks are actually good shows and I can’t believe they got made after discovery’s train wreck. I also can’t believe that I like lower decks. Like I’m supposed to hate it, but somehow it is full of optimism and Star Trek spirit and the writers are big enough nerds that they cram each episode full of stuff for me to find. It’s absolutely amazing and I still can’t believe it exists.

Did you just stop reading there? I was saying those projects should have atomic architectures so that “rewrite small parts when needed” can happen

Boy do I ever disagree with this.

For big projects, with multiple people and man-years of work, sure. Don’t start from scratch. But in my humble opinion, those projects shouldn’t really exist. Instead they should be atomic, made up of small page-length units which individually can be scraped and rebuilt.

For small projects, rewriting is often superb. It allows us to reorganize a mess, apply new knowledge, add neat features and doodads, etc.

How come people use sql instead of just using text files? I just use text files for everything

I do, exclusively

Getting rid of caffeine (decaf still has a little) has been amazing for me.

Dude what, replace all of those with me skiing while my mouse jiggler keeps my slack status active lol

But the browser can’t handle other languages? That seems a bit silly

I don’t work with web stuff, why is js so weird? Can you write a website in other languages, like c# or python?

Of course.

Do you like our owl?

It’s because apple users are generally wealthier. Not surprising since their phones are more expensive.

Yes but that isn’t small and cute and has hot fans that blow hot air on you.

I’d be impressed if it was worse than my 2015 celeron. Absolute piece of shit.

May get one to replace my aging thinkpad. Should be just fine for a little laptop to bring traveling and to watch animes in bed

It’s a state machine and so are we. If it can have the ability to alter itself the way we do, I don’t see how we are any different.
