I’m the only one with a logo t-shirt in this meeting – it’s weird out here not in tech-primary orgs – and of course it’s my hackers.town “Be the rust upon their gears” Ukraine shirt.

Department director asks if anybody did anything fun this weekend. Folks were quiet, so I piped up with “I played Factorio all weekend. It was awesome,” further entrenching the stereotype I am presenting.
Course then I had to explain what Factorio is, because only a smattering there had heard of it.

My simplified description of Factorio: “It’s an automation game. A genre where you do things, and then figure out ways to automate doing those things. Because separation of work and life is – abstract.”

A Django class-based view would sure make these four routes easier.
Which for me is usually a sign that there’s some overcomplicated assumptions in the routes.
But this is FastAPI, I’m contract, and the last time I made the actual needed changes I spooked the client, so let’s just learn to love the overcomplicated assumptions and the rent they’re helping to pay.

🎵 Holdin’ on to 16 as long as you can
2023 - 1982 + 16 = Jack & Diane are 57 years old. I hope they let go of 16 at some point
Anyways I was ten and I thought this was a depressing song. Great, but depressing.
🎵 Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone
