junior developer: uses pair programming to learn new technologies & best practices

senior developer: uses pair programming to exchange knowledge and get her code reviewed earlier

principal engineer: uses pair programming because after working on that codebase for 5 years she's too traumatized to venture into it alone without getting a severe hit to wellbeing & needs a companion to be productive

@whitequark I say it does not have to end this way - but it does happen.

I must not work on weekends. Working on weekends is the mind-killer. Working on weekends is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the JIRA tasks that arrive on weekends. I will permit them to pass over me and through me. And when they have gone past I will turn the inner eye to see their path. Where the work-need has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

stares the chrome devtools console... supports ANSI terminal escape sequences?

erik,

@whitequark if it already supports Unicode with Emoji, why not include a few more wacky characters (that surely represent a new security attack surface hiding in plain sight)

@erik what, pray tell me, security risk do they present

STOP WRITING SCI-FI

DYSTOPIAS WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE GIVEN NAMES

LOOK AT WHAT CAPITALISTS HAVE DONE WITH THE WORKS WE HAVE GIVEN THEM

( LOTR ) ( Minority Report ) ( Asimov's collected works )

WANTED TO READ ABOUT SOMETHING MIND-WRETCHINGLY AWFUL FOR A WHILE? WE ALREADY HAD A TOOL FOR THAT: THE NEWSPAPER

MontgomeryGator,

@whitequark Write sci-fi utopias!

write the stuff from before 2000 where a programmer could rewrite reality for the better.

Write about how love between beings transcends planets and people's.

You ever feel the vastness of the universe itself crawl down your spine, it's thrill sending you into emotions so deep you can only weep?

You ever see the possible paths, and see something so bright that your actual eyes would burn?

Write it down.

You caught me watching Star Trek 🤣

ever wanted to find out which microcontroller are you reverse-engineering the firmware for when you don't have the actual device in your hand?

edgetriggered,

@whitequark Have you already ruled out dsPIC33 in the design? I noticed these parts in my e-bike and some e-scooter then wondered about a common battery management system reference design.

> It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

this has nothing to do with microsoft recall! anybody you send stuff to can have it compromised. you message your high school friend, she gets caught at a protest, now cops have all that data

you can never control the data you give to somebody else, recall or not

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

i get that recall is a wake-up call for many people about this, but please use your reasoning abilities?

half the queer people you talk to might have a secret receipts folder they put dirt on you in so they can complain about you later

this should be a part of your threat model already
