Just received a package from @runZeroInc , and I have to show it off a little bit.

I am not normally one to get excited about corporate swag but, on top of a nice hat and some cool socks, I was sent this challenge coin that spins, and works as a decoder ring. This is, without a doubt, the coolest challenge coin I've received. Thanks RunZero!

At my monthly demon-summoning circle: The moon is right / The spirit's up / We're here tonight

Police: Now what's all this then?

Stammering: Why officer, we're simply having a wonderful Christmas time!

Oh yeah. "just" is up there with "actually" and "technically" as a signal for me to reread whatever I'm writing and make sure I'm not about to sound like That Asshole. (It's possible to use those words without being That Asshole, but it's worth checking whether or not that's the case.)

HAH: If you search "Trump" on the Files you get zero results. But if you search "Trump " with a space after, you get 600+ results. So, they blocked "Trump" searches, but they're so stupid they didn't block the workaround. Have fun, and enjoy. Pass. It. On. 😎✨

Hey, remember when I said I was worried about LLMs shorting out the whole CS/EE undergrad scene and leaving us with a crop of new junior devs who don’t know how to code when senior devs are starting to look at retirement?

Welp.

🔮 Every year, the cyber crystal ball gets dusted off.

But much like New Year's resolutions, by the end of January they're ancient history. This time, @todb dug up his old forecasts to see how he fared.

Spoiler: there were some misses (nobody can really tell the future), but also a few weirdly accurate hits that made us double-take.

🗓️ Check back in 2030 for the next round of fortune-telling!
