Have to hand it to a lot of these system-as-an-image type systems have much better interfaces for editing things. I'm wondering if more traditional languages will adopt something closer. Hoping IDEs become a lot more awesome!

Hardest interview question I seem to ask is: What do you do for fun?

Some kids draw when they are board in school. I wrote code at the time. It was Java. Never thought those skills would be useful. Let alone in an interview.

I'm excited about Postgres 18 ! Looks like a lot of awesome optimization work.
Though I think OAuth support has the greatest impact for using on Kubernetes! I wonder how long before guides get published to integrate!

BART arrived at Richmond Amtrak station 4 minutes after Capital Corridor. First time for a few people.
They thought they were out the cost of the tickets and couldn't get to their destination.
Luckily CC tickets are typically honored all day. Let them know and help them find their arrival times.

espHome is awesome! I recommend using the Arduino framework to get started since some components fail to compile with IDF though.
