It's a difficult thing to be vulnerable when all of the various neural networks you've grown over a lifetime are telling you it's not safe.
In a meeting making the case for having unit tests in the repo, wound up saying "Yeah, it turns out to write software, you have to defeat toxic masculinity."
(Trying to sound like I've read books) "Have you ever read Fahrenheit 420 by Ray Bradford?"
Sometimes if I know I'm going to need to change someone's mind, I smuggle the idea in first as a joke. The idea is to get them to accept the idea as their own because they laughed, like a bird taking care of a cuckoo hatchling.
Found out the other day that Claude Code gets 60 frames per second. https://youtu.be/LvW1HTSLPEk?si=oDpKJrqJBy5sVUdy
Thinking about pitching unit tests as "If you break my code then I don't have to yell at you because I have already made a machine to yell at you."
Theory: "We can use Large Language Models to speed up process and improve code quality. First, we have an LLM write the tests..."
Practice: "I need to convince the client that unit tests are a worthwhile thing to have."
You ever have a morning that makes you think "Huh, maybe I should consider leaving the industry again."
Pretty sure City Hall has security guards. I've passed them a bunch. https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/oakland-mayors-car-stolen-after-office-broken-into/
Signal is not fucking around with the warning if you try to enable screenshots on the Windows client.
"Disable screen security? If disabled, this may allow Microsoft Windows to capture screenshots of Signal and use them for features that may not be private."
I was so impressed by this that I went to take a screenshot to post here and instantly got got by the same screen security feature I was going to disable in the first place.
