So I got a food dehydrator for my birthday, and I turned a large red onion into like 1/4 cup of onion powder. It only took 18 hours.
I was laughing about this but y'all this is the best onion powder I've EVER used. It smells and tastes amazing

Legacy system at work uses crons and queues with no observability at all. So when you are developing this, you can unit test your individual methods, but then you commit, push, and deploy to a staging environment (20 minutes), trigger something, and wait and see if it works or not.

Never actually used blender but I did download it for the 12yo after she watched that movie with the cat and said she wanted to be an animator so I kicked them 5 bucks, why not 🤣
Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk.

I need to be able to type code with my mind while I lay on the couch under a blanket

There's a two week holiday code freeze, and my coworkers said "should we just all go on vacation?!"

Gather round, and listen: WORK ON THE DAMN DOCS AND TESTING THAT YOU ALWAYS CLAIM THERE IS NO TIME TO DO.

If my descendants decide to create a horrible digital homunculus out of me I hope they'll have the decency to send it to the infinite beach with a tweaker girlfriend instead of having it floating in this gray featureless void
New insult to life itself just dropped

the "return to the office" thing was very instructive. A whole class of people had a chance to make bank by getting better employees at lower pay while saving a fortune in rent and they chose "bring them to me so I can control them" pretty much every single time

They're moving my favorite product manager to another team 😭
He was so good at communicating with engineers, I spent so much time chatting with him with him making sure product and the eng team were in sync, just a gem to work with.

Raul Julia was the best to ever do whatever that was.
I also don't think there's ever been more perfect casting than those two Addams Family movies

This is insulting to those of us who don't go in for the AI junk but would willingly follow an alluring voice into the forest.
"Oh no, please don't magic me away into another realm, I must get back to my spreadsheet" c'mon.
This whole experience has really revealed how many of you would follow an alluring voice into the deep woods
everyone talking about Frieren's demons has missed a better comparison, so-called "AI" like Grok, Claude, ChatGPT, a thing that mimics human syntax brilliantly, isn't capable of human thought or emotion, but merely preys on people

I saw a random reddit comment where someone theorized that Pennywise and Mary Poppins were the same species of primordial psychic entity, but Pennywise feeds on fear while Poppins feeds on joy. both of them eat kid emotions because fear and joy are more intense in kids. This is Canon for me now.
