Looks like I'll be spending the weekend making the key #software #architecture decision for my new project - what shall I call it?

What better way to spend a glorious autumn Sunday afternoon than refactoring a pile of #spaghetticode to make it thread-safe?

Actually, even I can't tell if I'm being serious here or not :/

Oh my fellow #devs, do NOT use #ChatGPT to write your job app cover letters. I mean, we all know cover letters suck, but a truly sucky solution to a sucky problem does not actually solve the problem.

On the other hand, you are making my first pass filtering task easier.

False; my favourite type of alarm.

It was 42C here in #Perth today, still about 33C while I was having dinner, and I still put extra-hot sauce on my food.

Providing computer phone support to my wonderful Mum, so missed the #49ers touchdown.

Bugger, but still , can't bump Mum off the phone :)

I'm seeing people on here talking about blocking Threads, but as a software engineer I've made a career out of threading blocks.

Went for my #run this evening. It was meant to be 10 laps around the local park, but I miscounted to the extent that I did 13(!) instead.

I'd like to claim it was because I was totally in the zone, eye of the tiger and all that, but the reality is I'm so distracted by various life stresses at the moment that I can't count to 10 and run at the same time.

At least I over-counted, not under-counted, and my fitness is enough that I didn't notice the difference. 'Spose that's something.

So sad to read of the passing of actor Andre Braugher. Really loved him as Captain Holt in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but also as the lead in Last Resort.

RIP Captain.

Thoughts and prayers with the #NFL video editor who had to put together a highlights package for the #Raiders #Vikings game.

I'm in the "how did this ever work in the first place?" phase of debugging.

The video highlights guy (or gal) is not going to be happy, but this bowling effort from #Australia from the 11th over onwards has been one, as they say, for the ages.

Only 3 overs from 32 (so far) have gone for more than 6 runs. Completely throttled the dangerous #India batting attack. Wonderfully disciplined line and length under extreme pressure.

Just watching that classic #JonathonPie episode from immediately post Trump's win in 2016. For absolutely no reason at all.

What's the book on #49ers scoring, er ... 30 points next week? :)

It's possible this rogan josh didn't strictly speaking need extra hot sauce.

Oh well, we're here now ...

Aah, back to writing C++ code. Real code. None of this easy-to-read syntax, garbage-collected, Python pansying about! 😁

One day I want to walk out of a job interview and not come up with better answers on the way home than what I said at the time.

98 overs for the day. Aus can just grind out at 2.5 per over and take no risks. Interesting to see if the wet weather makes the pitch more lively than yesterday though.
