@rakyll I attribute "do more with less" as the primary cause of my burnout.

@david_nix 15 years ago I stopped an interview for a Google SRE position when they asked me to write code on paper over the phone. I'm not sure the industry was ever better.

@MacGoogly My assumption is most people's opinions would be likely to be based on their own socioeconomic status and beliefs. Economies are complicated.

"The GPT will do it" is my new excuse for everything.

@editingemily That's genuinely interesting behavior. To get attention from criticizing or mocking you, either here or among their peers on another forum?

@United if you measure how terrible a gate arrangement is by the number of employees it takes to manage it, the trainwreck that is C71 at @EWRairport easily wins. Funny that the decades old shuttle bus bandaid could be made so much worse.

@adamhjk @jbeda But they told me people couldn't be bothered to learn Ruby!!

The hotel clerk at @bestwestern explained my key card was demagnetized, so I had to keep it away from phones, key fobs, and any other cards with magnetic strips. They smiled and suggested I hold it in my hand above my head all week.

@cliffhazell To assuage customers that you're not going to nimbly pivot from software development to plumbing supply distribution.

@TracketPacer Jealous.

@mattstratton Somehow the brevity of this one is better.

Before coffee: how do I make a PDF double-sided?

@Dixie3Flatline I bet @betterdotcom outsources their next layoff announcement in this way.

Which mission statement is best?

@karadetwiller Because 45% of firefighter line of duty deaths are from heart attack.

I used @NVIDIAGFN this weekend on a 2in1 and it's amazing. I want streaming LAN parties now because of the convenience of everyone being able to bring a laptop.
