Love "mandatory training" course questions.

"HEY, bobby has cancer and really hates cake with frosting. Should you give him a cake with frosting?

[ yes ] [ no ]"

hmm, wonder what the answer is

Remember: Data that is indistinguishable from real data is priceless from a confounding-a-system standpoint.

Catching people putting in "The Secret Life of Rabbits" or whatever is easy and can almost be automated or done by an intern, catching things that look legit but aren't is much, much harder.

So "Abbot Sux" from the Utopia Planetia Shipyards? Easy to catch. "Jane Smith" from Houston is much, much harder.

I would burn so many gpus and do many questionable things if it got me the ability to throw a magic wand at a fuck cluster of terraform and tighten up / debug all of the AWS iam bullshit going on in there.

Sincerely,
Has now spent two days trying to debug EKS + KMS interactions

Story time! One time I worked at a company and they got Exactly What They Asked For, but not what they wanted.

I worked there for such a short amount of time that I actually kept them off my resume entirely

This isn't nearly the same magnitude, but watching quiet on set reminds me of how the adults in my life ruined all my hobbies as a child by trying to push me to be competitive in them, and how it continues to ruin all my hobbies because I can't just do them I have to be "good" at them too.

In the annals of things no one cares about but which are vaguely interesting to me: how my brain parses pronouns.

I got into a fight a while back with someone because I insisted that I don't have pronouns. That's not how pronouns work for me. My pronouns are preferred.

I use pronouns, but I don't "own" them.

(You can own your pronouns, they can be yours and you can "have" them, this is about me)

The analogy I use is that they are a pointer to the thing, not the thing itself

"trans girls are so lucky because they get to have estrogen and look cute. man, I sure wish I was trans, so I can get hrt too. but I shouldn't be wishing I was a minority, because that wouldn't be very respectful of their struggles and shit"

I accidentally deleted my entire Plex library lol. I don't even know how I convinced this Synology to link two directories together but by god I did it, forgot about it for 5+ years, tried to delete what I thought was a duped folder, and then got real confused when I tried to watch a movie later lol.

Sometimes I forget my phone when I go to the bathroom and I remember how God damn boring that was in the 90s. I used to just sit there and read the ingredients list on the soap and shampoo bottles.

I love being able to just casually bang out large refactors in one atomic commit and have it pretty much just work the first time

Gonna share some truths that are taboo to talk about, and everyone is gonna angrily at me about (I’m going to drink this mead then have a nap, don’t bother):glasses frames are a monopoly, but you can buy pretty nice glasses from China if you have a prescription for like $20, I have like 11 - look at Vooglam ~ nobody actually gives a shit if you go to the glamorous restaurant alone, as long as you tip well and are polite - in fact you’ll get better drinks at the bar~ the secret to doing a lot of stuff as an adult, like hobbies or going places, is just asking. Nobody gives a shit if you tip well and you’re polite. You can go almost wherever. You can finger paint. Whatevs.~ life is too short for shit beer & liquor~ life is too short for shit men, love~ there will be other loves even though it seems giant ~ trans rights are human rights and I’ll officiate your wedding ~ local elections matter ~ you should be seeing a therapist~ if you haven’t worn it in two years, donate it, darling~ people at bars want to tell you about their jobs and hobbies, and they’re all interesting~ video games and D&D are real life skills~ find the fitness that you can do long term~ no fad diets~ you don’t have to know how to code or watch Star Wars to be a great IT person~ if you ever have or think you have a serious health problem in America, understand our healthcare is shit and you need to research it yourself and then get like 3 opinions minimum. Nobody will look out for you like you do.~ you should probably wear the mask~ if you have ovaries that work you can just take birth control forever and never have a period, there are some health caveats but it’s mostly sorta kinda just a stigma not to. The military does this.~ if you have ovaries that work find an gynecologist who is generally not an asshole, life is too short for checking with your nonexistent husband ~ if your doctor harps on your bmi and nothing else, then get a new doctor, before you die. Literally.~ it’s a good night if you get home safe, brush your teeth, and take an aleve~ life is too short to penny pinch instead of living, because soon we’ll be gone~ you look perfect in that outfit to everyone except you ~ life is too short for shit jobs ~ ask how other people are doing, and listen~ genuinely care about what happens to other people because it will happen to you

I find it fascinating that we talk about over engineering as if it's a thing in software engineering. It's not, cut it out, stop talking about that.

If I'm a contractor and I over engineer something, guess what? It works for that use case and all the future ones. The only thing I wasted was money and time. Did you make a 10 ton capacity deck when you only need 2 tons? Cool... It's still a deck.

Software engineering? We don't have over engineering. We have "building to solve the wrong problem"
