Excellent view of Mount Nipple

(checks notes)

Thimble Peak

Foreground: tree on housing development street framing background view of mountain with short pointed peak that looks like a thimble or a nipple, depending on your imagination

packing up work-issued gear from $gig[-1] and trying to remember which of these MacBook dongle hubs is theirs. I’ve got like five.

TBH I’m not even sure they sent a dongle hub. But I’ve a vague recollection and as mentioned I’ve got five of these things.

@Researchbuzz and how many callbacks are on each page, or in each repo summary?

@ceejbot describing mandatory code review as a “feel-bad” program contributing to the ethos of “misery gets results” is a perspective that’s never occurred to me. I can see it though, as administered in oh roughly 100% of the places I’ve worked.

I didn’t expect there to be any surprises in this talk, but that was a surprise.

Gotta go let my brain chew for a bit.

@ceejbot I’ve been digging into Go, and am comfortable enough with it that I can compare and contrast now. Will likely start digging deeper into Rust in the very near future.

(my C++ knowing predates Boost, so I can’t really compare and contrast effectively there)

Air fryer’s like an indoor leaf blower. Trying not to be crabby, and unfortunately not doing a good job.
