@BriannaWu “It’s easy to attribute to malice what is better explained by stupidity.” But sometimes God’s own perfect idiot does the exact wrong thing at the exact wrong time and you have to wonder if he’s actually someone else’s useful idiot.

“The Controllers belong in the ‘controllers’ directory.
The Views belong in the ‘views’ directory.”

Oh, do you name all your variables “integer” or “string”?

Use the directory structure to communicate some relations between parts in the program!

My daughter is singing the corn song so much, I now have Roxette’s “she’s got the look” stuck in my head. But the words are all wrong.

@DawnWagesSays @shanselman When I had more time for prep, I would do a lunchtime talk once a month at my work. I would learn something new AND get better at speaking/teaching.

We now even have a monthly lighting talk day to share on a smaller scale.

@wilson_parson I kind of understand, but what is an “article” or “section” when I’m rendering graphs of radio antenna signals?

That said, we’re still watching “Sad Space Spies.”

I feel there are two takes on Andor.

1. It’s the best thing ever, because there is no “fan service.” It’s real life

And 2. The one I hear at the dinner table. “Where is the fan service!? Star Wars is supposed to be FUN! It’s mythology, not real life!”

[Brian J Ball @Myotherpants]

Honestly, both can be true.
