I hope Roberto wins. I'm kind of a shit bag and @LRobertoBarroso seems froody.

Wait, I mean Gilmar is kind of a shitbag https://twitter.com/JonasChrispim22/status/1555578519484235776

Every time I try and write code these days, it's like an all expenses paid trip to the Himalayas. All I see is yaks.

me: Hmm, I have no way to stop Copilot using my code to fuel its models. I mean, except to delete my repositories and move them to Gitlab.

This is a surprisingly useful list of how much more money we have to take from these people https://twitter.com/newscomauHQ/status/1552841338906767361

I unlocked an achievement today. All those times I said "Don't use a 32 bit id column, you may run out one day" I never thought it would happen to me. But today we discovered a third party application that had exhausted the 32 bit integer space for its most important table.

Was talking to some of my team in Glasgow yesterday and I think they thought I was going to make fun of them. No. 40c is a horror show. Stay safe, UK friends.

Back in the Before Times when I felt comfortable going to tech meetups, the ones that asked Job Title and Company would get told “Stegosaurus” and “Jurassic”. I hate being asked what I do. https://twitter.com/RichardMCNgo/status/1548490113432268803

SCENE: New York. A mausoleum. Two women enter from either side.

Lou Miller: So?

Debbie Ocean: It’s perfect. I’ve been working on it for 2 years, 5 months and 3 days. We just need 7 women and we’ll have as many pumice based soap bars as we could ever need. https://twitter.com/MitchPommers/status/1537712080845172736

I tried googling “has $person milkshake ducked?” and google does not have one of those special search results to say Yes or No with a link to the details of their shame, so I guess cancel culture isn’t real.

SCENE: Bunnings. The fastener aisle.

Me: (holds up screw) Morning. I’m looking for one of these, but longer.

Guy: (sighs) Is that off an electrical plate?

Me: yeah?

Guy: In electrical.

Me: Of course it is.

D bullied me into closing some tabs in the browser on my phone. Managed to close 155.

Just 255 left.

Oh no, everyone’s Jira backlog is suddenly unmanageably large and filled with tickets are are unactionable because their contents are just meaningless gibberish…..wait a minute!
