Absolutely. I enjoy it so much that I wonder "do people actually NOT enjoy writing Ruby?" It's usually the first tool I pull out of the toolbox for DSLs, scripts, spikes, one-offs …

Yes - this is exactly why aircraft use AM.

If I get a message on linkedin that pertains to a work issue, you had better believe that I'm going to be dealing with it on work time.

A better, better solution would be to stop using the service at all.

Due to me procrastinating with my notes, I was able to remember that I had touched on this before. According to my Obsidian notes: "Zeigarnik Effect Directs Our Focus Onto Unfinish…

If it only lasts a couple of hours, then it's not burnout.

You have to be careful of what you mean by "does it actually work". Does the dowsing find water hidden in a random spot or is the dowser tapping into subconscious knowledge about t…

Dress for the slide, not for the ride.

Custom tooled leather accessories. I've been tooling leather (and selling some on and off) for years. It's possible to make a living with it, but it's certainly not easy. With the …

I'd agree with that. Unless I'm trying to increase the amount I walk, I usually come in under 5K steps a day. It's not at all hard to add a few tasks to get it up to a more reasona…

No, we were talking about architechts making decisions that you characterised as poor. I was pointing out that your statement was over-general and that there are many instances whe…

This has quickly grown to more than adding in a couple of lines! Now I need to architect my legacy app so that I can deploy into lambdas, then I can get resiliency I don't really n…

Or how about "I'm fully aware, I've done the math taking into account both cost and complexity of implementation and cost of downtime, and I'm probably making fantastic calls based…
