@deafferret I took this as a strong recommendation. My wife and I watched it this evening. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks!

@gizmomathboy I kinda like knowing a human I respect made each post intentionally.

@samir @julian @mapache @evan I remember those days. Code review included single stepping in the debugger in "unambiguous mode[^1]."

1. Unambiguous mode is how we referred to single stepping with the disassembler enable to see the assembler code with source code lines interspersed. The compilers did make some egregious errors.

@sungo @jggimi My father was a cardiac transplant patient. The donor had Hepatitis-C which they didn't test for at the time. It was five years before they discovered Dad had Hep-C from the transplant. By then, because of the immunosuppressants, he had severe symptoms. After overhearing the head of the transplant team tell the (whatever specialist was handling his Hep-C) "I don't care if you kill him but he isn't going to die of cardiac symptoms on my program, so no, I won't moderate his immunosuppressants."

Dad immediately fire them both and moved his care to the Mayo Clinic. I travelled with him a couple of times for his annual workup. They had a week long schedule of tests and consults with various specialists who talked to each other. At the end of the week, the entire team of specialist met in a conference room to come up with a coordinated care plan that his PCP back home helped manage. It was a huge improvement in his quality of life.

All this to say this staying in your lane stuff is BS. It can be done better.

@tithonium Happy birthday! If I had your mailing address you would have gotten a postcard. I've been doing that lately. (I'm too cheap to send an actual birthday card.) But you do get a heartfelt birthday greeting which more than we can expect after a certain age. 😉
