Attached: 1 image Programmers fallacies about postcodes: - A postcode covers a small geographic area - A postcode is good enough to locate an end user for generating location suggestions - A postcode will be in a single timezone - A postcode only has a single state - A postcode has no exclaves/enclaves I would like you to meet 0872. Australia's largest postcode (I think), covers 3 states, has two cut outs (Warbuton and Alice Springs), and even still some mail outside of this area is routed via 0872

The first(?) season of Ahsoka's show wrapped up this week. I'm glad I decided to finish Star Wars Rebels before starting this one, as it ends up being largely a continuation of the ending of Rebels. โฆ

I feel like everything you need to know about the Drew Barrymore kerfluffle is that when the writers' strike ended, her union writers decided they'd rather find new jobs than go back to working for her https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/drew-barrymore-show-writers-decline-return-1235606269/

One of my favorite tools in my productivity toolbox for getting started on things I donโt particularly feel like doing is the inverse pomodoro. Itโs basically what it sounds like: a timed work/break cycle, but the work and break times are reversed from a normal pomodoro. I usually set a 5 minute timer, do some work, and then do something relaxing or fun for 15 minutes. I usually find that after doing that once or twice, itโs pretty easy to flip to normal pomodoros.

if i can offer younger developers any advice its this: develop a visceral allergy to complexity as soon as you can and nurture that allergy your whole life until it approaches debilitating. all else being equal complexity is bad. more "stuff" is bad, period. there are dopamine triggers and corporate metrics that may indicate otherwise but they are catastrophically wrong. fight to make simpler things. sometimes you really cannot, but thats a fight you need to have and lose if thats the case...

For everyone who feels insecure about your relationships with others - partners, friends, etc. - do they actually like me? Am I tricking them or deceiving them or what if I'm secretly a bad person?: Remember - the other people in the relationship with you are whole-ass people with their own thoughts, feelings, needs, desires, etc. These actual whole-ass people have their own agency, and have decided to spend their time on this earth with you. If you've not been intentionally misleading them or hiding things or tricking them into being with you, then it probably means they actually like you for who you are. You're probably not as good at hiding who you are as you think, which means they know the parts of you that suck, and they like you despite or even BECAUSE of the parts of you that suck. It's okay to simply trust those who love you to have chosen to love you because you're you.
