You’re my soda pop

My little soda pop

Windows pretends it’s friendly, but in reality it’s just there to sell you Copilot 365 subscriptions.

I don’t want to miss out pressing the purchase button myself

Anything that isn’t the bootloader is just bloat

No one is going to take IntelliJ from me. Tab completion master race!

I wasn’t enjoying Blood Meridian. What life experience do I need to enjoy it?

Next you won’t be able to own computers yourself. It’s all going to be rented through sky high subscription fees. Technofeudalism intensifies.

This is what’s most important. Allow for experimentation!

What works well for one team might not work well for your team. What worked well for your team 1 year ago might no longer be what you need now.

Turns out the critics were right all along: the Internet is a fad

It’s easy to overestimate how much of software engineering is about coding, when in truth it’s mostly about the code you don’t write.

99% of the time it’s just a basic todo list

Have you noticed how every LinkedIn bro is talking about their vibe coding workflows, but no one is showing what they’ve made with vibe coding?

Writing “iteration” sounds absolutely perverse!

I like it to make it clear when the for loop is about iterating lists and when it’s not. For example, the iterations in Monte Carlo algorithms doesn’t correspond to items in a list.

Outside of the for loop counters i and j, short variable names are awful.

I’ve started to prefer writing it out as ”index” or ”iteration” even in for loop counters. It’s easier to read, and not much harder to type.

The FP in Java is still leagues better than whatever the C++ committee cooked up.

The OOP boilerplater is the only one with a job.

This looks like a spray painted plastic prop for a Power Rangers movie. I want it to look like real armor that won’t crumble in one sword strike.

My current phone is 3 years old. I have no intention to replace it unless it breaks.

U2 is such a groundbreaking band. They’re the first band who managed to make an album with negative value.
