Less RoboCop and More RoboHomer

Satya wants us to get away from calling it slop for some reason

but it belongs to the 90s! 👀

2021? Oh boy, these days have been getting worse!

Holy shit that’s actually Tom Selleck selling reverse mortgages! What the hell happened man!

Yeah, I saw someone on a YT comment section (yes I know) citing “Google” as a source to back himself up. I was like, dude you have to read the link and that’s the real source.

Yeah, I agree with Weird Al, you USE the NET to find a legal way but we’ll just have to wait for Roku.

According to this CBS article https://www.cbsnews.com/news/one-in-four-workers-in-us-dont-get-any-paid-vacation-time-or-holidays/

1 in 4 workers don’t get any paid vacation time. It’s from 2019 but it’s not like things have gotten better over there since then.

I don’t know, I never mind if people bring up things they’re trying or into.

I think with Stardew Valley, you don’t necessarily “have to” …

Factorio feels way too much like work (as a developer) to me. I played it all weekend once and then when I had work on Monday I didn’t feel any weekend relief that I expected.

When George W Bush was president they told everyone to shut up and listen. When Obama came to office they went wild with every single little thing.

They have no principles.

I think they’re stupid too. Going into an interview is already stressful enough and these types of questions don’t put me into “problem solving” mode. They put me into “brain teaser” mode which is a different type of thinking for me. You know how we nailed these questions when I was in uni? We traded them after our interviews between each other and you just had to pretend you’ve never heard it before. So the main thing people were testing was whether or not the question had made it to them.

For programming, there are so many better ways to test out of the box thinking to me … I think the “what happens when you press a letter into a web browser address bar” or something is better and at least relevant. One that I like is, “there’s an outage in production, how would you go about diagnosing it?” Then as an interviewer I’d reshape the scenario and see where they put their focus and where they give up.

A truly jaw dropping moment.

I think even if you get Prime you still get ads unless you pay an extra monthly fee.

“awesome! do you have any pictures?”

that usually leads to stories and stuff too

I never noticed that and now I fear that’s all I’ll hear …

If it’s McDs, there’s no lettuce on a cheeseburger right?

Or am I taking this too seriously.

At least they can keep those pesky brain surgeons in check though:

Some say you don’t need it, but I personally use this plugin: https://github.com/jeffreytse/zsh-vi-mode

but I also use this: https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting for syntax highlighting and it makes it more readable too.

I’ve always liked vim but one thing that I really loved about it was when I started using vim mode in zsh.

Being able to just navigate through commands in my terminal and easily highlight and edit and all that … it’s so good.
