Seriously, it's the only piece of software I've used where "completed successfully" can mean anything from "I've done what you expected" to "I've absolutely fucked it", and I'm yet to find a consistent approach that favours the one over the other.

I call this poem "Fucking Rebase"

There's surely no quarrel
That life would be fun
If only Git and Torvalds
Were fired into the sun.

The country is a prized, fragile, antique teapot collection.

Starmer is Linda Barker: the supposedly qualified, but consistently underwhelming, selected overseer.

Streeting would be the Handy-Andy-assembled, ceiling-suspended shelving unit.

Playing "Mixtape" on Game Pass, and it's been really making me laugh. I really enjoyed "The Artful Escape" so have been looking forward to this for a while, and so far it isn't disappointing.
Wha' the fuck is this, ya bampots?

People have been sharing that "Programming Still Sucks" article, and while I appreciate that it's well written and funny and makes some good points, overall I don't care for it.

Because it perpetuates the myth that *software development only happens* within corporate capitalist settings. And it's simply not true, nor should it be true.

Programmers can come from all walks of life, and express themselves *joyfully* through the art of software in many local/small biz or non-capitalist settings.

I've been thinking about doing a presentation on my daft creative writing efforts (and the software I wrote to support me with it) for work's show and tell, but everything displayed recently has been so incredibly AI heavy that I feel I'm going to have to work that angle somehow.

Maybe something like: "Creative writing is like writing prompts, but lots of them, chained together. And then instead of handing them to an agent, you hand them to a human who will tell you whether they suck or not."

I see England is still Englanding.
Happy "put a tick in a box next to some idiot, and hope they aren't secretly a nazi" day to all those celebrating it.
Saw the trailer for "The Odyssey" and somehow it made me wish Nolan would make more of his tedious sci-fi films.
