Sometimes on a hot day for the short period the kid's napping I find myself at Home Depot searching for this or that tired from the work week under pressure as the clock ticks down…

Office job workers of many types have asked if I fear the impact 'AI' will have on my dev job. For as long as they remain employed I'm not worried at all. In fact, during the push …

All for this if the train cruises at 600mph.

Windows 11 decides to update and says, "You're x% there." Later, the computer jumps from 30% to nothing. "You might want to plug in your PC." Then the next morning Copilot appears.…

I recently bailed on SNW after realizing the cringe factor and unprofessionalism was to stay. Started watching TOS. Hope this isn't really the end of Star Trek and just this misgui…

Share your success (or failure) story involving switching from a pooled resource model and continous prioritization strategy to mission aligned teams with OKRs. Mission aligned tea…

OK, for real, how are you working through inexperienced developers cranking out tons of stuff that makes no sense? Not talking about verbose code, but concise bits of code that the…

The Twin Towers 2 concept, which is mostly the originals with a few additional floors, would have been a more fitting replacement.

Not sure Microsoft realizes the damage they're doing to the Windows brand. My first experience with Windows 11 was figuring out some dumb workaround to use a local account. When I …

Back to the old Thunderbird days I guess.

Perhaps the bottleneck is public perception after the accident at Three Mile Island, and then everyone wasting time on alternate (insufficient) renewables. But now it's not about m…

The difference is this isn't some legacy system that still exists a decade later. It's brand new with the tag still on. And it wasn't designed by a conscious being but by probabili…

A team unfamiliar with a code base demoed asking questions to an LLM about it. The answers genuinely excited some. But anyone who had spent a short time in the code base knew the a…

The most frustrating thing to find is a TODO for a half baked thought about some inconsequential logic. Delete!
