33 years for me. Every. Single. Day.

The hard part is realizing that you're not flawed, you just made a mistake. Typos, logic errors, off-by-one, etc.

Instead of wallowing in the fact that you created a bug, revel in the fact that you recognized that bug and could to fix it.

I keep asking myself the same question, after 20 years of coding.

@drumshaman Ya know, coming up to Durango and riding the train has been on my bucket list since I got the C.W. McCall cassette as a kid that had 🎶 Silverton 🎶 on it. Every time I see you post about the Animas, I'm reminded of that. One day I'll get up there.

All of this may not work for all teams, but there's some real gold in here if you manage ANY number of remote workers. Thanks @nathanbarry!

@timspratt @spatie_be Don't get me wrong. I love everything you guys do, but math doesn't lie and it's an easy mistake. Just wanted to make sure you know about it. 😎

Thanks for always awesome products @freekmurze!!!

[Bill Wheeler @phpdreams]

@timspratt @spatie_be Same here. $49 - 25% = $36.75

I'm thinking they did the math backwards. 49 / 39 = ~1.25. But that's not the way it works.

You have to do 39/49 = ~.80 -- that's 20% off.

1. Create cryptocurrencies
2. Use spare processing to mine
3. Create the metaverse
4. Plug everyone in
5. Amuse people with things transacted with those currencies
6. Vendors realize human brains are spare processing
7. Mine crypto, give "brain owner" a piece

Result: The Matrix

@adamwathan Knives Out was fun. I think it might be on Prime. Daniel Craig with a southern accent is fun.

If OAuth2 is supposed to be a specification, why do so many companies have their own variations and implementation differences? UGGH!!!!!

@brandonsavage @MCPS @hansriemer @RicePolitics @willjawando It sounds like there should be an interesting story behind this.

I'm not saying every podcast episode, blog post, whitepaper, video, or tweet should try to be "viral content."

But, if you're trying to make viral-potential stuff, using this structure will give you a significant edge: https://t.co/w6iN2QEb4l

@tlakomy @QuinnyPig Add this to your .zshrc or .bashrc file:

alias flushdns='dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder'

Then you can just type do 'flushdns' whenever things get wonky....and they will.

@chriscoyier Maybe recreational drug use just isn't your thing Chris. 😎

[Bill Wheeler @phpdreams]

@carolynporco @JakubKonecki @dan_in_tweets That doesn't sound right. There should be any number of people out there who could pull the entirety of the codebase, data, images, etc. off safely and prepare to redeploy to one of any number of hosts.

@Lord_Arse @adafruit My first computer was a C64 back in 1983. I sold my dirt bike to afford it. I've been hooked on coding ever since. I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. 😎

@TomWGiles1 @PaddyCunio @HeyTammyBruce @Beaudancer1 Because that would REALLY ruin the illusion. Watch that little glitch at the end . . . he was one note off. The three balls were supposed to trigger the finale, but they just triggered one note. He then dropped a single ball which triggered the final chord.

@CaseySoftware The worst part, that's not at all a shock. When government is involved, inefficiency, apathy, incompetence, etc. are the rule, not the exception. Sad really.

@gonedark @swapnakpanda @sergiuprt And welcome to Monday. :banghead:

[Bill Wheeler @phpdreams]

@brandonsavage That said, I'm all for light-weight, easy to manage implementations, so I'll go for Alpine all day before ever picking something like React or even Vue for that matter.

But I get your point, jQuery still solves a HUGE number of issues easily, is stable, well supported, etc.

[Bill Wheeler @phpdreams]

@brandonsavage Two-way data binding in Vue, Alpine, etc. It's less effort to build interactivity that way.
