@fraying How else are you going to innovate? I mean, you have to go back to first-principles, right?

[JR Boyens @jboyens]

@joshsusser I hear you. Sometimes I find a few spoons by just taking a nap or going for a walk.

Hope it gets better.

@dalmaer Think of the positives! This new "experience" helped a Googler fill out their promo packet!

@joshsusser @carlcoryell The worms in my brain are driving and they don't want a coach. They've been suggesting we try out this new personal knowledge system and once we've got it perfectly configured it will absolutely solve all our problems once and for all. It will take weeks, but it'll be worth it.

@swindsor Same. I had to really work out a strategy there in the middle.

@swindsor My kids sure do. Make sure to grab some of the chili pepper-dusted mango lollipops too. Those are also a big hit with kids these days.

It's not that I don't have that most of the time, but when you don't, it is very apparent how little you can get done.

Lamenting the fact that so many aspects of the developer workflow these days assume always-on, speedy network connectivity.

I wrote a post about my experience with pair programming and included some suggestions on how to add it as a sustainable practice for your team. Thanks to @nota_bennett for the inspiration!

@soulcutter Braver man than I. I've always wanted something, but could never A) find something that spoke to me enough to be permanent B) get over the fear of the pain

@kejadlen @searls You can, of course, pin your nixpkgs to the commit prior to this drop or copy the .nix file and create your own to support it if you need to.

NodeJS 13_x was EOL'd and dropped. 10_x is next as it is EOL'd at the end of this month.

@mileszs @mikerogers_ @CenturyLinkHelp Yup. Now you're getting the full picture of the awful.

[JR Boyens @jboyens]

What is going on with @CenturyLinkSEA? I've got a coworker who has had 8 techs try to fix his fiber. He still has no Internet service and now they've broken a neighbors' service too. It's like a comedy of errors where each technician says they aren't the right one to fix it.

[JR Boyens @jboyens]

@networkfixes @CenturyLinkSEA @CenturyLinkHelp That sounds... brutal. Thanks for the info!

[JR Boyens @jboyens]

Municipal broadband cannot come fast enough... I'm so tired of the price increases and the crappy service from these massive conglomerates.

@cwilk @allysonkate The hardest part was some companies refuse to send the distribution checks to the new company and require you to be in the middle. This SUUUUUUCKS because the checks always take forever to get to you and you have to remember the magic incantations and where the checks have to go.
