I hope everyone’s getting started on their annual viewings of Over the Garden Wall.

I just learned that the astoundingly beautiful and astoundingly out of print art book is up on the Internet Archive - maybe this is fun news for you too?

This is excellent advice, both for knowing what to focus your time on and for bring able to show the before/after impact of your work. I love measuring.

@TheSloppyBoys Come to Richmond, we can go to Joe’s and get one! (if I’m not busy that night, I’ll have to check)

[Pete Cartwright @petecartwright]

Look, basically every criticism of Deadpool/Wolverine I’ve seen is correct but also… I really liked it? I wish I’d gone in knowing literally nothing.

Reminder: there is a Winamp Skin Museum where you can see 80,000 archived Winamp skins (and use them). There was an era of Y2k hyper-maximalist design, before Apple mandated minimalism in everything. UI design had a lot more room for self-expression. It's art.

I thought I was checked out on the MCU but looks like they’re still able to make bold creative swings

Found the prompt that bash uses 🤯

@UghAshleigh Can we please see this at crossgates with 75 kilos of Taco Bell

This is some of my favorite advice for junior engineers - it’s always worth it to do a pass over your PR as if you were reviewing it.

You’ll find things you missed (console.logs, every time). And if you can anticipate q’s the next reviewer will ask and answer ahead of time?😙👌

I come to you humbly asking you to stop asking folks to review your code before YOU’VE reviewed your code 😭

“I found a bug in your rendering code” yes sorry I was not completely successful at explaining colors to sand

[Pete Cartwright @petecartwright]

@tmcleod3 @terronk Hahaha that’s honestly the exact expectation I’m going in with. I’m expecting to be kind of annoyed but also generally very charmed.

[Pete Cartwright @petecartwright]

@tmcleod3 @terronk I just started Season 3 yesterday! I never finished Season 2, but I’m ready to give it a fair shot, I’ll let you know!

[Pete Cartwright @petecartwright]

@tmcleod3 @terronk I’m sure I’ll watch it! I was not super into the first 2 seasons but c’mon am I not going to watch Michael Dorn?

Have you watched Lower Decks? I was surprised how much I loved it.

[Pete Cartwright @petecartwright]

@PRTejeda I rolled right into Kiwami 1 after 0 and really liked it.

[Pete Cartwright @petecartwright]

@PRTejeda Alien Isolation is maybe my favorite horror/stealth game ever.
Fallout New Vegas holds up.
Power Wash Simulator is so stupid and soothing.
Unpacking hit me right in The Emotions way more than I expected.
All the Yakuza remakes are great.

Love that Amazon thinks I'm out here dry aging beef so hard that I need a steady stream of new special refrigerators.

Last night I got to overhear Nathan Fielder “oh, ok” someone in real life and it was everything I’d ever dreamed it would be.
