The execs think they’re hiring someone to churn out code, and some people are better at that, like everything else. They don’t understand that they need someone that can figure out what code needs to be written, and why, and that they need someone that gets what the difference is and that there’s always someone that writes better code.

E: Also why I’m not worried about LLMs replacing devs. It ain’t just code.

That too is an insight into the company.

The movie is great too. It’s on Peacock.

I do it on a little table outside my back door. It definitely stinks up the house otherwise. My fryer has a little lid that you can put on it after the oil cools. You can reuse the oil a bit depending on what you’re cooking.

Pumpkin puree works pretty well too if your recipe can handle a little squashiness.

I’m as offended by receiving survey requests for any and everything I buy or pay online. If it weren’t disingenuous I’d be fine with it, but it’s usually the retail marketing version of a push poll. There’s no way that they would get that something is off based on the normalized survey values without reading the non-normalized text box that corporate probably doesn’t care about. Therefore, they get a consistent value of 1, (you suck) to every question. If I had a positive experience I just don’t bother unless some poor bastard went out of their way to help me.

If you cook them until they’re mush with plenty of oil/butter, a bit more salt than I’d like to admit, pepper, dill, and a few drops of hickory smoke flavor, they’re amazing.

Whatever it is, crack an egg in it and it’s breakfast.

Double spaces after periods can create “rivers.” This makes text more difficult to read for those with dyslexia. Whatever is used as a text editor is probably stripping them out for accessibility reasons. I suppose double spaces made sense with monospaced fonts.

Never half-ass two things. Whole ass one thing.

This has been my mantra ever since he said it, and I have repeated it in countless meetings. It’s generally received well.

Hahaha it seems anecdotal, because it is. On a plane it smells like someone opened a box of farts.

At least there wasn’t a screaming baby, a moron kicking your seat, or someone eating steamed broccoli sitting next to you.

I usually test with a multimeter after carefully exposing the endpoint or whatever I’m working on. I had no idea that NCVTs were that untrustworthy, thanks.

A quality hand truck and a couple furniture dollies come in handy much more often than you might think.

If you’re the DIY type, make sure you buy a non-contact voltage tester pen (‘beepstick’). It beeps when it is in proximity to electricity.

Edit: see the mic_check_one_two comment below. Apparently I’m lucky to not be a crispy critter.

What OS will that tablet be running?

My cleanouts are PVC. All you get is the stick. I’ve learned that as soon as they’re located, put a couple bricks and a lawn ornament on top.

Edit: misread… you can definitely find the shutoff with a metal detector. Mine will twist your ankle though, no mystery where it is.

FWIW I’ve never seen a Hampton Inn without at least one waffle maker.

Those drawers pull all the way out if you want to them to. :)
