Learning Excel by doing a lesson, examining the file in Pandas, then reimplementing the lesson logic in Pandas then SQL, as one does.

This Excel video calling it an “overtime bonus” is certainly a tell.

The reason I hate cover letters is because when I actually write one I spend a day pondering, a morning writing an outline cross-linked within my notes, and an evening writing the dang thing because if I put any thought into a thing I gotta put all the thought into the thing.

@cinebox That makes a lot of sense.

“Move fast and break things” was one of the worst core principles and we should have nipped that one in the bud.

@b0rk I’m not sure that knowing how to implement a specific algorithm is useful, but not having that CS foundation, and not knowing the name and shape of algorithms, has been a communication blocker many times over my career.

Got a cold and my ear, which has been persistently been plugged up for a year now, feels like it’s been packed with cement.

Talking with @IamMrsGeek about whether ageism might be a factor in my new career as “person who tries to get a job.” We ponder various options such as shaving the beard which got a “probably” and dyeing out the grey which got a visceral “fuck no” from me.

@webology I will try uv out of course, because such is my nature. But I’m starting to feel Python tooling fatigue, which is not unlike JavaScript framework fatigue.

Described my mood as “hyperfocus cranky not actually cranky” and I think this kind of disambiguation could be useful to some of y’all at some point too.

Astro has a hosted database now, and — I wish’em the best but my common sense is tingling, and won’t let me continue puttering with Astro unless a paycheck’s involved. I’ve seen the hosted add-on service downward spiral too many times.

@rottenmeier Yep, I’m one for the building to make sense as well. For the homes I build, I tend to start small and expand when I have a new need.
Ends up with every beam having a little story, so that’s cool.

All right. EndeavourOS updating to Plasma 6. Hopefully this works out okay.

Other than the part where it put me in Wayland by default, KDE Plasma 6 looks good so far.
I’m on NVidia. Today’s Wayland funkiness was “every Electron app on screen flickers in unison if you scroll the mouse wheel anywhere.”
