CI/CD! How did I forget CI/CD?

oh right I’m an SRE with Jenkins trauma

fuck groovy

A “full-stack developer” is someone who can do front-end / UI work (HTML, CSS and Javascript or whatever the frameworks and tools de jour are nowadays if we’re talking webdev), back-end work (APIs and “business logic” and all the stuff users don’t see), and often storage and infrastructure work (manage databases, write and optimize SQL queries, put things in buckets, get your code running on AWS / k8s / a pack of gophers / whatever)

that is

someone who wears too many hats and isn’t paid nearly enough by a company that doesn’t want to hire 4 engineers

+1 for ecotanks

we’ve had one for 5+ years, and only refilled the ink once – we don’t print a lot 🙃

you can also refill them with third party ink and the printer can’t tell, unlike cartridge based printers with their chips

and it means way less waste; the tanks hold way more than a cartridge

haha yeahhhh they do make it easy to “accidentally” have way too much caffeine

sometimes i only half fill the basket with grounds; still comes out strong enough, at least with the very dark roast beans we use

for real though drip coffee is just wrong

i couldn’t live here without my moka pot

oh

thats bad

solid is a neat idea, but the implementations are … jank, to put it politely, and the overall spec is hecking complicated

i don’t think the average developer, let alone user, is going to learn RDF and its various query and other adjunct languages just to control their data

i want to see it succeed, but i simply do not have high hopes on that front

tbf you cant swing a domestic feline with steady vitals without hitting a programmer here

spray a bunch of strong smelling essential oils on the area

doesn’t hurt them, but will deter them

cast Gate on the bottom of the ocean

20ft wide portal to whatever other plane you want to dump the ocean in

at the bottom of the mariana trench you’d get some 200,000,000 gallons per minute through that sucker

it’ll still take more than 3 million years (per very naive, optimistic napkin math) to drain all the oceans but you can probably find other people to join your mad ocean destruction cult over that time and get things going in parallel

the real question is: where are you putting all this water

I have ever written an ssh wrapper that automagically rsynced my shell config (and other dotfiles and tools) to the target host

that job had way too many pets

Honestly, same on both counts. I’m really glad my extensive batch file days are well behind me. And as much as I like Powershell’s idea of structured output between commands, I never really gelled with the Verbose-Noun-Verb-Syntax. I’ll stick to memorizing my cryptic acronyms kthxbai.

zsh is my main

though i grew up on bash and write scripts targeting sh

cmd.exe has entered the chat

rookies

i gave up saving for retirement when it became clear we were going to do fuck all about climate change

i regret burdening you with this knowledge

class A amnestics should be freely available from your local [redacted] should you desire

well that is an upside

tv series rather than film but: The Dresden Files

worst change? everything

harry’s staff – carved from a lightning struck tree from the property of his mentor, iirc, and carved with various runes – is replaced with a hockey stick

bob the skull – a constructed sprit of intellect bound to a skull – is now a ghost of some guy

they made lt murphy a brunette

probably more idk I didn’t get more than an episode in and that was years ago
