Developers: Can you believe what ABC, CEO of DEF, has said?
Me: Who?

Developers: Check out what developer GHI has done!
Me: Who?

Developers: Company JKL released version X of the MNO library!
Me: Who? What?

I don't know if I'm old, out of touch with the tech community, or just living a happy life

One of the huge perks of working at a software company is, when there's something about the product that bothers you personally, you can get your hands dirty and find out why it's basically impossible to get fixed

Your package will be delivered sometime today. The driver has the package. The package is out. Oh you just left your house for a couple hours? The package was left outside your front door 5 minutes after you left…
I hate to seem like a huge complainer but FedEx tracking is the worst in the whole world

Your grandparents bought a house on a single income. You have a master's degree and three roommates. But at least you can summon any song ever recorded in 2 seconds, so it evens out?

I think men are just too emotional to be trusted with the vote
“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

This is the sort of insider tip life hack that I come to social media for. Like when another person noted I could brew 2 shots of espresso but put a cup under each side instead of making 1 shot and then another shot after ☕️
This might seem like a silly productivity tip, but it really comes in handy sometimes at work:

Clone a 2nd copy of your repo. That's it.

I've got /repo-name and /repo-name-2. Great for when you want 2 different branches up, or if you got a long process running in 1, you can work on the other.
