Sometimes you do things that aren’t very bright. Like call a cop Sparky, or pick a rattlesnake up by the noisy end. Or ya know, put a big blue blob you didnt plan on appearing in a painting. These things happen. And when I say you, of course, I mean me.
In other news, I got a few minutes to work on my painting. 🤣🤷🏻♀️🥳
Before celebrating *something* tonight, don't forget to back up important things. I found out 2 years of stuff not back up from a key cloud service I rely on.
Discussed on Hacker News, lobste.rs and r/programming It’s Friday at 4pm. I’ve just closed my 12th bug of the week. My brain is completely fried. And I’m staring at the bug leaderboard, genuinely sad that Monday means going back to regular work. Which is weird because I love regular work. But fixit weeks have a special place in my heart. What’s a fixit, you ask? Once a quarter or so, my org with ~45 software engineers stops all regular work for a week. That means no roadmap work, no design work, no meetings or standups. Instead, we fix the small things that have been annoying us and our users: an error message that’s been unclear for two years a weird glitch when the user scrolls and zooms at the same time a test which runs slower than it should, slowing down CI for everyone The rules are simple: 1) no bug should take over 2 days and 2) all work should focus on either small end-user bugs/features or developer productivity.
OH NO I FORGOT BLUESKY DOESN'T LIKE FUNNY CONTENT WARNINGS AND NOW MY PICTURE SAYS GRAPHIC MEDIA LMAO
So apparently, I accidentally queued the poll to post three times....
I have two different microsoft identities, one for work and one for personal purposes.
I just finished my responses to my editor... in the wrong account.
So I did what any summer scholar does: I apologized, explained the mix-up, and sent in all the marked changes under the wrong identity. They're grown-ups, they can sort it out...
