Somehow having the “one more turn” problem with code. Just one more idea…

If I billed correctly for the hours, they’d have a heart attack and die.

That’s like at least three problems right there.

BTW also confirmed that yes indeed: full test run is 10 minutes on Windows, 10 minutes on macOS, and somehow 17 minutes on Linux Manjaro.

The green dots started going slow when it hit pytest-playwright headless browser tests, so that’s what I’m blaming for now.

There’s absolutely no rigor to my numbers. Windows & Linux are the same machine, but Windows is via WSL. macOS is on an older MBP w/ < 1/2 the RAM of the PC, fan went so loud it sounded like me last time I tried jogging, but it still finished ahead of Linux.

Many flavors of brains in this meeting. Not in a zombie buffet way, just —

You got me, blasting through at full speed like I’m on fire. And you got A, who can’t help but examine every nook and cranny of their topic.

60m meeting. I needed 10. A has needed the rest.

Joe Hayman’s “Cohen on the telephone” bits are fun, especially the one poking at good old racist AF MFer Henry Ford:

“every time we started to talk Jewish, the Ford stopped running!”
