Little harms your professional growth more than being a big fish in a small pond for too long.

I just love waiting 20 minutes (and counting) for #AWS EKS to delete a namespace ... I feel so productive.

I know we’re supposed to forgive people and let stuff go now, because everyone has decided that that’s productive, but in this case: No. Fuck Drew Barrymore forever.

“stop beating yourself up” NO If I did that then I’d have waaaaay more time on my hands and then I’d just beat myself up for not utilising any of it

The neurodivergent nerd instinct to work at startups so the job burns out before you do. Note: I’m fine — or at least operating within normal parameters — it’s just a stray thought.

I just meowed at Tyler as he walked by and he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at me with an expression that says I must have said the most offensive thing imaginable.

Merge vs. Rebase vs. Squash. Anyone who says "100% of the time you <merge/rebase/squash>" is wrong and I'm strong in that opinion. I'm asked about this pretty regularly, so I decided to take my copy paste answer I always use and put it in a gist. 🍿 https://gist.github.com/mitchellh/319019b1b8aac9110fcfb1862e0c97fb

Nice post from my boss about why we're giving Basecamp the heave-ho: https://blogs.library.duke.edu/blog/2023/11/30/why-were-dropping-basecamp/.

All set up for Advent of Code tomorrow! https://github.com/mrwilson/advent-of-code-2023 I'll be doing it using jq, but this time I've written a little test framework in rust on top of libjq (called jqunit, obviously) to make it easier to stage out the functionality in later, trickier puzzles. I'll be tooting my progress on here, and posting my solutions each day. #AdventOfCode

I can't emphasize enough to cis people that the term "euphoria" was chosen to translate what transition feels like because there are no other words you will associate with a feeling like this — which you obviously cannot feel. But it is not a superlative. Transitioning is the greatest relief and elation I've ever experienced. There is not a word that contains all of it. I wish I'd never experienced all that torture I didn't know I was enduring, but I wouldn't change a thing. I know things now!

Is anyone up for running a tech conference with fake AI-generated men on the promotional material, but an all-female cast of actual speakers?
