Oh yeah, I remember the good ol’ “Our whole business Logic is within this 30 tables spread sheet, that only one person can read, and don’t you dare restarting that computer” times.

One person. Sitting in front of three monitors. In front of a spreadsheet that maxed out every resource of that computer. It was glorious.

When I was a kid, Chernobyl happened. We weren’t that far away and although I was very little I still remember the fear and uncertainty in my parent’s faces. The following years were marked by research about what we can no longer eat, where our food comes from, etc

I also remember the fights about where to store nuclear waste.

I don’t want to burn coal. I am pretty upset about what happened to our clean energy plans. But I will also never trust nuclear again. And I think, so do many in my generation.

Online vegan here. Just wanted to add that after a couple of years of the same jokes and arguments and demeaning comments that were forced upon you because you had to explain why you don’t want to eat what everyone else around you eats, you kinda lose your tact a bit.

Never went to somebody with a burger in hand and called him a murderer. Been called an emasculated pussy and wittle little rabbit for eating a salad so many times. Same people then complain about annoying vegans. It’s a bit infuriating.

It led me to think about Spotify’s politics and ethics and ultimately leaving it as well as a paying customer.

As someone speaking German, a brutally gendered language, let me tell you, they/them is awesome and I’d love to have something similar in German. There is so much fighting and discussions about “gendern” and it consumes so much energy that could be better spent elsewhere. And conservatives are having a field trip with this.

Looking for a new word is equally as hard if not way harder than using what already works fine.

I recently found out about this and I love it! Used to use paperwork for my scanning and archiving but paperless ngx is so much better.

I drowned some ants when I was a little kid in our backyard because I was scared of them and also curious. My neighbor told me to think about what I did. I was mortified. I’m a vegan now.

Kids need to learn that kind of empathy. Although I don’t think I would have ever thought about about ripping limbs from frogs.

Ich habe noch nie über das Wort nachgedacht. Bis eben.

For years, coming back to my hometown made me feel alien, like in a dream where everything was just slightly off. Like somebody came a rearranged my kitchen drawer while I was sleeping. Just wrong.

But now, twenty years later it, it changed. It didn’t become home again but a place that I felt a deep connection to. My friends and I are now parents. The places where we were young and stupid are no longer for us. But that’s okay.

I can never go back. Nor do I want to. But I understand my friends that stayed or returned. It wasn’t such a bad place after all.

Came here to point that out. You also have LTS versions for business critical software. Sometimes, a newer version is in beta or nightly mode for a long time while the stable version only receives bug fixes.

The question is, why does it run on Linux and not Apple

And here I am with my brand new niche zero that I was so proud of until like three minutes ago.

That’s clever. Way more than my Regex abomination

I have hacked together the ugliest of solutions and got my two stars but at what price?

I’m more surprised that there are non-enterprise Jira users.

I want that on a t-shirt! And I’m definitely going to steal it for my slack tagline.

When the Covid vaccines came out, my wife and I immediately got them. A couple of weeks later, our kids had a patch of various sicknesses, nothing major just some mild infections. I told our kindergarten teacher that I was annoyed about that and she tells, she read, that we are shedding the vaccine and that’s why our kids are sick now. I went full “are you fucking kidding me” mode and felt really bad for a long time after that.

I have noticed that working remotely really opened up the job market for me. Instead of being limited to where public transportation can bring me within 45 minutes, I can work for any company within Europe from the comfort of my home office. It makes switching jobs so much easier and I am willing to tolerate much less shit before I quit. That degree of freedom might scare companies. They can’t trap me anymore with the costs of uprooting my life for a better job.

The one where she tries to talk her boyfriend down from uprooting their life to start a podcast career in LA is even better.
