For all the talk about how “small towns are friendlier” it sure does suck that one of my neighbours has a floor fan I bought via Amazon. No point in asking because they don’t really like me due to my non-obsessive behaviour over my lawn. Cutting the lawn once a week is not enough apparently.

Courier says “package handed to resident” but Amazon has refunded me.

This article uses #React as it's main example, but it applies to #Laravel, #Tailwind, even #Drupal just a much. I say that as a recovering Drupal dev who used to use the standardization argument.

Greedy management is the reason we can't have nice things.

AI errors are hard for us to see.

“…the hardest kinds of errors to spot. They couldn’t be harder for a human to detect if they were specifically designed to go undetected. The human in the loop isn’t just being asked to spot mistakes — they’re being actively deceived. The AI isn’t merely wrong, it’s constructing a subtle ‘what’s wrong with this picture’-style puzzle.”

I'm trying to make a simple file upload form in React, but because each component interferes with every other component, it's an infinite rabbit hole. I spent more than a day on forums. I want to burn this codebase to the ground.

Yes, yes, that's a GREAT idea, let's arm robot dogs with flame throwers! Great idea! (they are pitching this for prescribed fire burning for wildfire prevention and "snow and ice removal from driveways"... at least until they find a military buyer, I am sure). #robot #dogs #weapons #flamethrowers #dystopia https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/company-unveil-robot-dog-companion-with-flamethrower-attached/vi-AA1nvoEb

Thinking about the AI skill threat:

$100/hr to fix your stuff
$200/hr if you did it with AI

Ugh, the PHP CS Fixer setup instructions for PHPStorm are so long and confusing that I might as well just use the CLI instead. I've been told that I'm a very impatient person :)

In a city called The Dalles, in Oregon, USA, local people were worried that Google’s water use was soaring. As is so often the case, the city officials, who had given Google hundreds of millions in tax breaks, had no intention of letting anyone know how much water Google was using. It was up to a local paper, The Oregonian, to try and find out. They were forced to bring a case to court. City officials were ordered by Google to claim that Google’s use of scarce pubic water was a “trade secret”.

I love how the keyboard shortcut for “paste and match style” is basically “press every single key on the keyboard at once.”

Oh no. Oh no oh no. This will not end well for software in general. We've never before had an "un-leap" skipped second and even the occasional leap seconds in the past where they weren't new have caused us a lot of problems. Seconds that don't exist will make something go haywire, I'm sure.

Everybody get out and push?

The more you know...

#Boeing had come under the spell of a seductive new theory of “knowledge” possessed by a skilled & experienced workforce as essentially not worth the ⬆️HC costs. CEO McNerney purged the veterans into early retirement. He called longtime engineers & skilled machinists -those who cared too much about the integrity of the planes & not enough about the stock price were “phenomenally talented assholes"-ostracized them into leaving the co-.

A friend was telling me about guidelines for developing and deploying new services in their company, and one of the guidelines is “new services must not use #PHP.”

I’m not making this up, and this isn’t hyperbole. They actually have this listed on their company documentation.

4y ago, when #covid was spreading across the world, I got sick. 4d of severe illness

Then I “recovered” except for low fever, fatigue, body aches…

I worked—& crashed, barely able to get out of bed, rested days/weeks, felt better, went back to work—crashed. That’s the cycle

I set activity limits, cut them back & back…

Today if I walk >400 steps, stand >2 min, sit up >2h, or have >10 min heart rate >85bpm … I crash

Hard lessons. Took a long time to accept I’m #disabled w #LongCovid #MECFS

Boeing is a disgrace. Any company that chooses profits over safety should not be allowed to build planes. Also, did they just murder a whistleblower?!
