Attached: 1 image When the BBC gets it *VERY* wrong so even muskland provides an important community context note. That's a "real terms" pay cut... or maybe more accurately, a negative real terms wage rise if you will. If inflation is at 7.9% and your wages rise at 7.8%, then your wages are "rising" slower than inflation.

What I do love from #pairing is that the lag between you evolve your mental model about the problem at hand, and you are able to communicate that to another team member is the shortest one. I can learn new stuff from the domain within minutes with a fast feedback loop as you gain when doing #TDD for example. But the important aspect is about how much time lapses between that little learning you had and the whole team is up to date to the enhanced model. That's why pairing + TDD is a super powerful combination of methodologies. Nowadays, if you combine with remote collaboration tools as #Miro, you are able to capture those learnings in a shared board that other colleagues can check in a regular basis.

Making a tech salary and still living paycheck to paycheck has been my life for the majority of my time in tech, and I want the narrative that it's not possible (or less likely) to be eliminated. Got paid yesterday and because of the fucking debt and expenses I have, I have $250 to my name. This is why I rail so hard for bringing up the floor on equality and stances.

seeing a lot of total noobs at #defcon walking around with zero protection to a widely known vulnerability, just begging to get their systems infected with a viral exploit from over three years ago 🙄​ really disappointing because the patch involves wearing a wicked cool face mask like a cyberpunk, though a cheap N95 also works if you've already spent all your money on an anti-RFID wallet or some other fancy everyday carry gizmo
