@diannahaze This is such wonderful news. I'm so incredibly happy for you and your husband!

@dblasphemy I've always loved this one <3

Perhaps we just call it SEMantic versioning. Shame-Eh-Mega-antic versioning. Or Shamanic versioning, SHame-Apathetic-Mega-anic versioning.

[Dishpit @Dishpit]

in case you didn't know, this is how you're actually supposed to do software versioning

[Jason Olson @jolson88]

Yes, very high watermark. But when it comes to the music/sound being a natural extension of the visuals, I happen to think Hans Zimmer might take the cake. Zimmer breaks out of the "European-based Orchestra" tropes and can build completely immersive worlds in sound. Both are great though!

I just started working on a legacy PHP code base at work. I've never worked with PHP code before, and it's very interesting! Granted, I love all things programming languages, so not a surprise. Some interesting patterns and techniques that can be applied in PHP. It's not That Bad.

@trashh_dev No WONDER why Rockwell felt that somebody was watching him :P. Rockwell = Time Traveler confirmed?!?

[Jason Olson @jolson88]

@cmuratori @deadalnix HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Now that right there is a clever reply 🤣.

@LowLevelTweets @PirateSoftware It can be interesting to see _who_ (and what "class") is recommending AI and how that benefits them (e.g. "financial"). Not always the case of course, but it can sometimes reveal semi-hidden motivations.

[Low Level @LowLevelTweets]

@PirateSoftware It’s insane to me that people still think the solution to all of our problems is to use AI, a technology that has yet to reliably solve any actual problems.

[Your Designer @Daviowhite]

I need to embrace this more

[Jason Olson @jolson88]

A very stoic view! It's often the challenges and pushing through those challenges and resistance that develops the skills/muscles to succeed. Sadly, I often find myself avoiding the hard stuff out of anxiety or fear of conflict. That's perhaps been my largest source of stunted growth.

I think over the coming weekend, I want to learn more about Visual Pinball (VPX) in order to get into developing pinball machines. I love Pinball and the idea of learning to program them sounds incredibly fun!

[Jason Olson @jolson88]

@0xglitchbyte It's also amazing how taking that first step can make all subsequent steps easier too. I also find more and more that its the work itself that helps develop the ongoing motivation, not the other way around.

[Jason Olson @jolson88]

I want a pinball machine in my home office. If I got that and a good Mame arcade cabinet both, I'd be set. Talk about a stimulation heaven for me, LOL.

[Jason Olson @jolson88]

@Obliquities @Ascended_OG Yeah, talking about painting a picture with words that paints _quite_ a picture 🤣. Love it!

[Jason Olson @jolson88]

@raggi @ThePrimeagen Brilliant! Broken new year's resolutions to the rescue :D.

[Jason Olson @jolson88]

Wanting to get into embedded/automotive programming. Thinking I'll get started via telemetry tooling using ACC and games. Would love to see if I could eventually find a way to hack around with my Honda civic.

[Jason Olson @jolson88]

I don't suppose there is anybody who will read this that happens to have experience/knowledge around software development in the F1/Indycar/racing space?

Our attachment to having what we want and to getting rid of what we do not want brings us out of the present moment and immerses us in the mind's incessant storylines.
