Well, I forgot I was interviewing a candidate today, and I'm wearing my new "Jazz Crabs" t-shirt

FFConf remains one of my all time favourite conferences and was a wonderful experience as a speaker. They treat their speakers very well 💖 You should definitely apply.

The millennial emo to new wave pipeline is a thing, right

WOW! The second night in a row in which one of the babies wakes up every 20-30 minutes, screams and only calms down when you stand up and walk around with her.
At least, it's only one and not both. 🙃

@matuzo have you considered asking them not to do that

Apparently I’ve been hanging on to these computer part boxes since 2016 “just in case”

@niklaskorz this is definitely still installed in my PC which I switch on about once a year

Uncharacterically, wrote a blog post about something technical because I just spent the weekend fighting with jest and I don't want anyone else to have to do that https://localghost.dev/blog/different-ways-to-mock-third-party-integrations-in-jest/

@janl tbh it’s fine, sometimes can just be a bit of a black box

@robb why don’t you like the phrase “yak shaving”?

sophie,
@sophie@social.lol avatar

@robb fair. without wishing to be a Typical Mastodon Unnecessary Explainer, are you aware of the origin of the phrase? it will make it even less clear

sophie,
@sophie@social.lol avatar

@robb I'd always thought there was some origin story with a chain of events that culminated in someone shaving a yak to get wool to do something else, but... it's literally from Ren and Stimpy

sophie,
@sophie@social.lol avatar

@robb I wasn’t aware of the explanation and now I hate it??

sophie,
@sophie@social.lol avatar

@dap6000 @sarajw @robb that one always comes to mind, it’s perfect!

We're hiring at Monzo! We've just opened a role for a senior web engineer for our Financial Crime team.

edit: to be clear that is preventing financial crime not perpetrating

@janl optionally be gay and prevent financial crime

sophie,
@sophie@social.lol avatar

@janl to be clear the prevention part is not optional

sophie,

@mensrea it depends where you are I think

sophie,

@mensrea not SA though sorry :(

@joshhunt the Financial Conduct Authority would prefer it to be the latter

I'm so tired of seeing "LFG" everywhere that I have now decided it stands for "lookin' fresh, girlies" and that makes me feel better about it

More interesting than the first thing my mind always jumps to which is Lexical-Functional Grammar
