Double-edged swords: invented to increase effectiveness in battle, and along with that, introduced new risks. The additional edge was an acceptable risk, that could be managed with training.

@zan_toka @ORUConnect 😆 this is not unlike jokes Ive made myself

Last night it came back on after 5 hours, and it just went out again. @ORUConnect

Hey @ORUConnect it’s been a pretty rough year for power outages here in Southfields NY. Momentary outages wouldn’t be a big deal, but it’s happened several times this year, for several hours each time. Drive for 10 minutes in any direction, there’s power there.

Why so frequent?

I can't believe I'm doing this, but after all, it's a bleak, cold existence, and the citizens are restless. They are cold and hungry. What's an overlord to do?

As it relates specifically to JavaScript, I don't find "functional" codebases easier to read. That's like saying "Italian is easier to read than English", while knowing how to read Italian.

It's gonna take me a while to learn Italian.

Reading about the Projen project generator this AM. I'm SO in, because the CLI tool has a command called:

clobber

`hard resets to HEAD of origin and cleans the local repo`

@brad_frost The custom build of Eclipse one company I worked for decided it was a good idea to make

I had to sit down and make myself understand unicode today only to realize what I REALLY needed to understand was how to not forget to set flags on a regex.

@VicVijayakumar A day late on this, but if you want to access my resume please send me your public key and a biometric sample because 10 years ago I forked gitolite and have integrated it with about a half dozen DNA sequencing tools.

“…now I’ll need to check if your handwriting is abysmal enough for this position, please write out the prescription. I’ll need to keep it for my records, should you be considered.”

[Paul Bredenberg @pbredenberg]

Instead of purchasing medical insurance, wouldn’t it be cheaper to just pretend to be hiring a doctor?

[Paul Bredenberg @pbredenberg]

“… I see, and you would prescribe…?”

[Tony Alicea @AnthonyPAlicea]

A question that every developer has to ask themselves at some point is: “should I do what feels easier for me now, but makes life harder in the future for my users, my teammates, and myself?”

There can be other factors that influence the decision, but the answer should be NO.

@AnthonyPAlicea Someone I know was taking a college course, ran into a problem with an assignment. The teacher couldn’t figure it out either. Sent them the finished code to copy/paste in. 🤦🏻‍♂️
