The biggest and hardest part of my job as a software engineer is helping people see that they are miscommunicating, and fixing it.

In the AI future I'm looking forward to having 30 minute 1:1s every few months with Windows to get re-aligned on how we will decide when to turn on Sticky Keys.

Going to Japan soon next week and am open to suggestions for Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.

What have you got Mastodon?

@ihorner Kyoto: loved the Fushimi Inari trail with all the orange gates, and also the bamboo forest.

I want to see absolutely no sensible and practical advice here. What programming language should I start vaguely and in a chill way teaching myself if I just want to experience something fun or elegant or interesting in and of itself, assuming I have no goal for using it to do anything really (outside of learning)

@grimalkina the game TIS-100 ... It's assembly language but instead of RAM you have a weird network of chips.

So I stagger sleepily into the kitchen to make breakfast, and I break an egg open, and it's a double yolk! And I'm like ha ha, rolled an S rank egg. And then I break a second egg, and it's ALSO a double yolk. And I'm like ha… ha but I'm getting a little nervous. And then I break my THIRD egg and it's ALSO a double yolk and I'm just like what the fuck?? Triple double yolk???

@mcc something like this (and even more terrifying) once happened to me on Christmas morning because my mother in law accidentally bought balut eggs.

Kaiser's automatic callback service called me back, said "page not found," and then hung up on me.

70 something hours into Baldur’s Gate 3 and I’m already planning my next play through. Fantastic work, Larian.

@CatherineFlick I'm 30 hours in and I haven't even left act one, and there are things I want to do there that will have to wait for a second play through.

I'm the kind of person that has a database of my collection, so I can produce useful information such as: I have 34,401 magic cards, most of which are nearly worthless commons. :D
