@engineering_bae When people ask what sport I played in college, my answer is "Counter-Strike"

@lukey1223 Weird that he’d use feet for height and kg for weight.

@engineering_bae I remember being so dead set on computer science that I ignored the software engineering route. Then I complained about a lack of practical skills for four years.

@georgefatlion @looygi Me too. I couldn't decide if I was satisfied for outsmarting the puzzle or dissatisfied for missing out on solving the puzzle.

Tears of the Kingdom is the world's greatest new game plus.

@Austio36 @JasonSwett Big enough that nobody runs the whole suite locally. It's ~10 min in CI with 20 workers. You run the tests adjacent to your feature locally. The flaky ones are discovered in CI because that's the first place they run.

[Sagotsky @sagotsky]

@JasonSwett My experience is mostly with large monoliths where you can't run the entire suite locally in a reasonable time. Flakies only flake on CI because that's the only place they run most of the time.

@pragprog Gut reaction: statistics. Upon further reflection: music.

@Fiestywenchyone @ClaireMax The higher your chest the less distance the bar has to travel, so the less work you’re doing. It shouldn’t be so extreme that it hurts.

@amynewell You made Wyatt go away. That was fucking badass.

@JasonSwett Dates and timezones? They're flaky adjacent IMO. They behave deterministically for any given now, but now is always changing unless you freeze it.

@kimgoodwin Looking forward to embedded computers and the inevitable "reboot your mom" jokes that come with them.

@the_datababe Link? Asking for a me.

@schneems Rayman Legends is hands down the best kid co-op game I’ve experienced. I *think* my dudes started at age 6. The beauty of it is that only one player actually has to be competent.

@XboxGamePass Hyped for Darktide. Can I play it with my Steam friends tho?

[Sagotsky @sagotsky]

@keystonelemur I use a Dungeons & Dragons experience points inspired model. A rote task for me gives few XP, but could level up a teammate. I let them run with it. If a task lets me grow too, I'm more inclined to step up. The goal is to max out XP gained over the whole team so we all lvl up

@chrisboettcher9 What’s the reason behind 16? I haven’t heard that one before.

[Sagotsky @sagotsky]

@echoboots Waiting to see where a critical mass of people land. (Not that I'm using it professionally)

@StripeyType Nice! I hadn’t considered a Pi for Minecraft. This is intriguing…

[Sagotsky @sagotsky]

Small son finally wrapped his head around command blocks in Minecraft. He feels so empowered by this accomplishment that he just mansplained programming to me.
