@technoid_ yep. Only 247 to go. Though I probably won’t play the reruns.

If you have to do a form letter for your applicant rejections, you could do worse than this template.

“Thank you so much for your interest in joining the COMPANY team! We had so many fantastic applicants for the JOB_TITLE role and have ultimately filled this position.”

(conversational but generic “we’ll keep your resume; follow us on the socials” boilerplate)

It’s the common practice zero-feedback rejection, but I got a little warm fuzzy from it. Course, if I got ten of these I’d be feeling a little less fuzzy.

So I guess I’m asking you to tweak your form letters to better reflect your company culture.

Trying to get into the habit of conventional commits. After forgetting and amending my commit messages too many times, I set up pre-commit and compilerla/conventional-pre-commit.

Much better.

@genehack well hell I’m bookmarking that one for later.

I got the most amazing shirt from @IamMrsGeek yesterday.

@Scmbradley yeah I guess all I’m hoping for is more “please” in the “fuck off.”

@lordbowlich or that it could at least opt for “WiFi-only” on those activities when there’s insufficient signal.

Out here in the exurbs, I often have one bar and obnoxious latency. I don’t want it downloading updates via those towers. But downtown? Go hog wild.

We are moving way slower than we want but way quicker than a middle-aged couple (or rather a middle aged dude and his radiant and ever youthful spouse) have any right to expect when clearing out of a four bedroom house.

@tek I’m always finding pleasant surprises in the Python ecosystem these days, to roughly the same degree I once found pleasant surprises in Perl’s.

hackers.town: 2024-05-29 Wed 18:29

@tek I remember when Zope was Python’s killer app, so okay. Yeah.

Nearly the last step: coaxing the cats out of hiding so we can prep them for their first road trip.

hackers.town: 2024-05-29 Wed 18:54

@maddiefuzz @bitprophet @tek I still got it.

(Sorry)

“Just mix the anxiety meds into their food it’ll be great,” advised somebody who clearly had some kind of weird cat that didn’t pay attention to what it ate.

I think I have successfully drugged my cats, with good old fashioned Greco-Roman wrestling.

Keys on counter. Pets in truck.1,555 miles remaining in our 1,555 mile journey.

Me: Are we there yet?

hackers.town: 2024-05-29 Wed 21:43

Whatever the heck else happens, this is the biggest “next chapter” yet for us, individually and together.

@genehack it’ll be guaranteed memorable for duration and prep trauma, but yeah let’s hope that’s it!
