Credit where it's due, might just have the edge on my old Nikon.

Got fired from my job as a masseuse.

Apparently I rub people the wrong way.

@racingdaily To be honest I didn't really fit in there. I knew my position was untenorble

@dgar I quit my job at the helium factory after I had an argument with my boss.

I refuse to be spoken to in that tone of voice.

Oh my fellow , do NOT use 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.

@Fury Good decision! The ones I'm looking at now are so obviously AI-generated it's not funny. They go straight in the Nope pile.

Good luck with your job search.

On a related note, try and spell the name of the university you went to correctly. (just in case the hirer went there too)

@dgar I just saw I could have gone with "...there Manuel be a Cybil solution" and then I would have completed the set.

So close!

@dgar That could be a Major problem. Polly time to get it fixed. You never know, there may be a Cybil solution.

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

Just asked to come up with a name and I like it's suggestion. Which is annoying.

Settings > Google > All services (if tabs exist) > Find My Device > Find your offline devices

and give it a quick "Off"

The next will come about when a relative handful of very underpaid and undervalued have to try and maintain and fix great reams of generated code that no-one ever took any time to try and understand in the first place.

Today's lesson is if I wake up in the middle of the night thinking "I should refactor that big ugly block of working code" I should just get rudely drunk and go back to sleep.

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

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