What a great idea!
I’m going to start putting Ip addresses on random things.

Software developers always say 'it works on my machine'.

It's a regular expression.

We need an IT Infrastructure Bankruptcy process for when orgs get so far out of date that it's just hopeless.

I'm a principal software engineer who's trusted to go around and find, fix, and improve the things that need it without little supervision.

And yet, I just spent 20 minutes debugging missing file output because I had the folder sorted by type and not name. Dammit.

@FoxDeploy Oh that’s super shady

[Douglas Francis @_Doug_F]

I was raging about this last night. I’m also 99% convinced all the fancy loading screens and “processing /checking” times are exaggerated or faked entirely to make people think the software is doing more than it is.

Wow, TurboTax super aggressively pushing that users deposit any tax refund amount into a new Credit Karma checking account is the scummiest thing I think I've ever seen.

They hide conventional refunds behind a 'Find other options' button

@brainytower There’s a setting to have a right click now.

I made the switchover to Mac recently at work. As much as I loved using WSL and Windows Terminal I’m loving the native terminal life I’m digging not needing that workaround. The finger muscle memory and keyboard shortcut struggle is very real though.

Microsoft Ignite is happening. Let the product announcements roll in!

[Douglas Francis @_Doug_F]

@brainytower Oh no!! It’s been a duckacide

[Douglas Francis @_Doug_F]

Ah the first day back to work after a week off. Where all the software packages have updates and the inbox is a mess.

[Douglas Francis @_Doug_F]

Apparently ⁦@USPS⁩ doesn’t have a “we lost your package in the truck code” I watched the mail person dig around in their truck at my mailbox for several minutes and apparently decide to claim no access to location.
