Trying to watch a tech video while this deploy runs but the speaker has HP books very visible on their shelf and I’m sad because I remember when I might have thought that was cute.
Been a rough couple years for a few fandoms out there.

So it seems I’ve settled on Pop OS as my workhorse Linux. It works well enough, my daily tools are in distribution repos, and “i3 but pretty” tiling is nice for everyday.
I refuse to type the name they way they do though.
Yeah it’s unfinished but I’m deploying to test server just the same. a) typo ratio is reaching dangerous levels; and b) the dang thing will never be finished
Got to use the term “duct tape” referencing my project architecture in a work email, so I’m happy.

A lot of these electron apps sure do get cranky in a tiling window manager.

It’s not as bad, but I still get flashbacks to DHTML days when someone would be all excited about their interactive front-end. Seeing their face and hearing their voice as I open Mozilla and get nothing was a guilty pleasure.
DUCKING BELLS SLACK STOP TELLING ME ABOUT A FEATURE WHILE I’M TRYING TO TYPE NO WONDER EVERYBODY HATES YOU

One thing I’m enjoy with the BDD / Gherkin approach is that it gets easier to compose new feature tests from the vocabulary you built up earlier in development.

Mind you this is me enjoying the mix of Gherkin vocabulary and pytest fixtures, since I’m using pytest-bdd for the feature tests.
