You know it.
I'm a software engineer who used to be a construction and farm laborer. I'm a progressive who used to be a redneck. I play guitar and make things.
My thoughts and opinions are very much my own.

But I’m also a nerd and an engineer and a maker, so I’ve built myself a prototyping rig to experiment with circuits, and I recently built a fuzz pedal using a pre-printed PCB (the Sandspur from PedalPCB.com, which is itself a clone of the BC108 Sunface from Analogman).
Assembling it was great fun. Any day I get to fire up my soldering iron and/or my multimeter is a good day.
Here’s a gut shot. There will probably be many similar posts in the future.
Big ideas are kickass, and one of the reasons I'm a long-time Apple customer. But this is actually one thing that bothered me a lot as an engineer at Apple, and I suspect bothers most software engineers who work in companies where this problem exists (i.e. most companies).

It’s not every day that the New York Times gets off their “both sides” fence and prints something actually just true.

For all my #Apple friends, I also filed another #Feedback today, about not having code suggestions selected automatically when shown while typing (see screenshot).

I made, if I do say so, a kickass banana cake last night.
My wife said she was going to have some and save me the rest.
