I have become religious about timers

Heating frying pan? Timer
Boiling water? Timer
Filling bathtub? Timer
Literally anything: Timer

my wife gets Facebook ads about random obscure stuff we talk about, even if we’ve never talked about it before, and I don’t.

The difference? She has Facebook and messenger installed on her phone and I do not…

One of the reasons I left a job was because they decided I was paid too much based on where I lived (part of their DEI) and told me I'd never get a raise because of it. I had even took a huge cut to my usual salary to work there originally, because I liked the company.

It was common for me in at least two places I worked.

When writing about Property-Based testing, I found they were much more solid and comprehensive than usual tests, due to their more general (properties vs examples). They weren’t used because they felt more complex and time-intensive to write, despite being shorter and having to change them less.

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal

i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

I'm going to start streaming again in spring/summer when my home office addition is done (it's been over a year now).

We should do at least one stream where you walk me through how to build with Ash ;)
