Microsoft is doing return-to-office on Monday and I am definitely sure that people are NOT PREPARED for all the new annoying habits I have picked up in the last six years since I was in a shared working space
Sometimes it's fun to be first just to see how many people you can fool into putting out their recycling cans on the off week
Advertising Frosted Flakes but actually stocking Special K is one of the worst hotel breakfast sins imaginable
I am worried about these 4 week estimates for the Iran war...it only takes 2 weeks to make a healthcare plan so this is going to be like twice as infinite
Going full Alex Garland and putting on Ex Machina
This turned out to really be a very good weekend to binge rewatch Devs
Asshole
Everything old is new again
Waking up to that fresh foreign-war-of-choice feeling
Winner of that whole thing was...Iguana Song, surprisingly! Red Bird was great too until they couldn't figure out how to end it. Anyway, these will be fun playlist spice from time to time and I like that the band is pushing boundaries
Weekend 1 at the Sphere + 2 nights of Eggy afters secured. Testing the theory that "center is better than close" that we developed last time.
I love that Goose brought their old friend along on this crazy thing
For me it sparked a life long love affair with Underworld; saw them live in Denver just last September. The encore was Born Slippy
The Trainspotting soundtrack was incredibly formative for me. Hit just at the right time for high school me, who was drowning in Christian rock and smooth jazz
I am supposed to see you in the .NET ecosystem; seems far away from your usual tastes. I am finding that Opus 4.6 is quite good at writing Rust code and as a long time .NET guy I am feeling a little weird about it.
Natch
I think the origin story involved a grumpy senior developer who got tired of people coming into his office and interrupting him to ask why their code didnt work. As a defense mechanism he made people ask the duck first, and it they still couldn't figure it out then they could ask him. Might work.
I think it was originally formulated in internet lore as as a duck or some such but I remember it as the question chicken
It's this thing i learned a long time ago where if you find yourself getting stuck on something, sometimes the act of formulating a well formed question gets you unstuck. You don't even need ask a person, really. A stuffed chicken works just as well.
The "ask the question chicken" technique helps coding agents unstick themselves just like it does for humans
Azure Managed Grafana is amazing and all it takes to set it up and get it working is free access to basically AGI-level AI tools
The Starbucks App wants to define the relationship
JFC Starbucks app do we have to have this conversation right now
That would be an amazing outcome too! Almost too much to hope for.
Random #Seahawks thought...there is a decent chance that Jody Allen sells the team to Steve Ballmer. He's got the money and has already proven himself to be a competent owner in the NBA. Paul Allen himself owned the Trailblazers and the Paul/Steve connection goes WAY back. Could be great. NO BEZOS!
Pints are 20
Hoffman all the way for me
AJ Barner is a beast
Gray Zabel and the Lombardi trophy
My two favorite shots from the parade today Go Hawks!
Not really sure I want to know what that smells like but I appreciate the sentiment
It's pretty hilarious that the people in the stadium who paid tens of thousands of dollars to be close to the field are intentionally blocked from seeing the halftime show
Signs point to yes
