  I keep a computer in my pocket with apps I installed that I only open when I’m ready to get mad. Seems fine.

  It's wild how hard the pattern of "show them the UI before the UI has loaded" took hold. How is it not frustrating to the level of being a critical bug to see something immediately only for it to change out from under you? even the DOCK ON MY IPAD does this now. (this was posted immediately after opening the wrong app because it changed right as I was clicking it)

  I see a lot of "there are hardly any trans athletes" in a lot of people's otherwise well-meaning arguments against the discrimination happening in that space. I don't think you realize how demeaning that is. Not to mention how it concedes to transphobes' arguments. I know this isn't the point you're trying to make, but how it comes across to bigots is that if there were more of them, then it _would_ be something to worry about.

  The amount of javascript needed, and things that can (and often do) go wrong, just to load your bank statement, a static list of server-side data, is mind-boggling.

  Leadership loves to solve problems with meetings and process, because it's something tangible you can write down and point to, but it usually results in the "now you have two problems" trope. Unfortunately, the real solution is usually muddier and hard to pull off: a systemic culture shift around trust, communication, collaboration, and ownership. Easier said than done.

  @LGUG2Z I'm interested in trying out Komorebi for Mac to replace Amethyst which I've been having trouble with. I see it's installable via nix which is great. Is it also configurable via nix? (I suppose I could just maintain/generate the config json file via my system flake)

  A law gets passed that says if you are using cookies in a shitty way, you have to get consent. Instead of making their cookie usage less shitty, everyone decided to continue being shitty and just make them more annoying instead.

  You know when you are explaining something to someone and they cut you off saying I got it I got it but you are very worried that they don’t got it? That’s how much you should trust your AI tool.

  I've been TDD'ing for 20 years and this still sometimes trips me up: it's not a real test unless you've seen it fail for the right reason.

  We love to slowly destroy a good thing: * you can't attribute any one weather incident to climate change, just the increased rate of incidents overall * you can't attribute any one bug to increased AI usage, just the increased rate of incidents overall
