The Lorax according to my eight-year-old: &quot;I am the Lorax; I speak for the trees. If you cut them down, I&#x27;ll break your knees.&quot; #Parenting #DrSeuss #KidsSayTheDarndestThing

During a meeting: Team Lead: So, Dan, what do you think of this approach? Will this work for us? Me: Yes, I was definitely listening to everything that was said and not scrolling through my social feed, so I fully understand what was being discussed and agree with the proposed plan. #NotEnoughCaffeine #ADHD #FirstClassBS #TooManyMeetings

Since GIF is pronounced with a hard G for "graphics interchange format", JPEG is pronounced "j-feg", for "Joint Photographic Experts Group". #GifNotGif

Trump is releasing more UFO files in hopes that we&#x27;ll forget he still hasn&#x27;t released all the Epstein files and that the ones he did release are still mostly heavily redacted, protecting his pedo buddies. #ImpeachTrump #LockHimUp

I just watched the first episode of Filing for Love, and I have to say that I love Shin Hye-sun in every role I&#x27;ve ever seen her in. I&#x27;m so happy there&#x27;s another new show with her. I wish I could forget See You in My 19th Life so I could watch it again for the first time. #KDrama

Hey, Google you&#x27;re already increasing the price of my YouTube Music subscription. So, I&#x27;m not going to be subscribing to YouTube TV as well.

This morning, my son asked me if he could have French toast with Nutella on it. I told him the French toasts was already sweetened, so Nutella would be overkill. So, guess what I&#x27;m having for lunch? Go ahead, call me a hypocrite. I would say that, like Walt Whitman, I am large; I contain multitudes. #SongOfMyslef #mmmmm #Nutella

Iran&#x27;s propaganda folks have released a Lego rap video literally calling the President of the United States the Antichrist. And I&#x27;m not sure that&#x27;s the strangest thing that&#x27;s happened during the Trump regime. What a time to be alive. #DumpTrump #LockHimUp

FYI. The &quot;least you could do&quot; is always nothing. Anything is always more than nothing. So, when you do the minimum that a decent human being would do, you&#x27;re not doing the least you could do. You&#x27;re doing the least that you should do. Or, you&#x27;re just being the minimum of a decent human being. To be clear, that&#x27;s not insignificant, because so many people are not decent human beings. So, kudos to that. #PSA

I&#x27;m watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 5x15: By Inferno&#x27;s Light, and it&#x27;s crazy how much Dukat foreshadows Trump. He completely disregards everybody&#x27;s lives for his own elevation, even going so far as letting his own daughter die, and then says, &quot;You should see the monument they&#x27;re erecting in my honor&quot;, paralleling all the gaudy nonsense Trump is doing, like putting his name on everything he can. He sells out his own people to...

I searched on DuckDuckGo for &quot;git diff include untracked files&quot;. The AI Search Assistant helpfully told me: To include untracked files in your git diff, you can use the command git diff --include-untracked. It linked to this article which talks about the --include-untracked option. Problem is, that option doesn&#x27;t exist, and as far as I can tell, it never has. And I&#x27;m pretty sure that the linked article is AI-generated. The ouroboros is eating its tai...

I&#x27;ve been using this account as my primary for about a week now, and I&#x27;m think I&#x27;m settled on using it for the foreseeable future, so I guess it&#x27;s time to do another #introduction post. I&#x27;m a dad of four kids, and a web developer. I have a college degree in #Theater (or #Theatre) and had aspirations of being an actor. I kind of fell into web development as a career. It was a hobby back in high school, and I just needed to pay some bills after colleg...

For #FollowFriday today, I recommend @forgejo@floss.social Forgejo is the community-driven fork of @gitea@social.gitea.io and now powers @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de :git: I just installed it today on my own computer. I had a few, very minor, hiccups*, but got it working pretty quickly, and intend to start using it as my private code forge. *: Turns out that its built-in SSH server doesn&#x27;t start if you already have SSH running on your computer, but, you have to use their built-in...

I&#x27;m starting to learn Go. At work we&#x27;re splitting out some parts of our architecture into a few microservices, and our Chief Architect decided we should write them in Go, instead of our usual PHP. I&#x27;ve been enjoying learning it. It&#x27;s been a long time since I&#x27;ve really tried to learn a completely new thing (as opposed to a new framework or whatever). As a project to get myself into this, I&#x27;ve been thinking about building my own Fediverse s...

Another day, another job rejection. It&#x27;s been almost three months since my layoff, and I keep getting close, and then losing out at the end. This time, I had an interview with the hiring manager, two live coding challenges, and then another interview with upper management. In the end, they told me I didn&#x27;t have enough front-end experience for the position. They had another candidate with more front-end experience than me. They wanted to bring me on anyway as another back-en...

I once wrote some PHP code that looked like this: // 🎶 I put my thang down, flip it, and reverse it return array_flip(array_intersect(array_flip($allTests), $chosenTestKeys)); A few months later, I came back to this code, and noticed my comment had been changed. // I put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it I looked at git blame to see who had mangled my comment. His git commit message was &quot;Fix intermittent failing test&quot;, as if my comment somehow had something to do...
