So, apparently it's rare to find a software dev who can efficiently translate and switch between "Developer" "Designer" "Product Owner" "C-Level" and "Normal humans" dialects.

Just had classic moment of a typo destroying your code...
I found it by manually comparing code one line at a time over 2 days.
I thought AI coding assistance was suppose to be able to help me quickly find crap like this. It certainly did not, and kept suggesting some very useless stuff

Today I learnt that adding double spaces as the end of a line in markdown render as a line break.
At least, it does on Eleventy's nunjucks templating...
Yes sure, we shouldn't use line break all that often.
But address new line is a perfectly legitimate scenario. Surely.

15+ sign up is more than enough motivation for a burnout soul. I thought I'd be lucky to get 5 😭
Appreciating my colleagues so much right now.

As my last day at work approaches… I’m very tempted to create a set of lint rule, automate PR of it to all codebases in the company, hand my laptop over then leave.
But may be not. Tech community is rather small, and I ain’t got many bridges left to burn

I've been told that my spicy internal blog posts are only spicy to those with context. Otherwise it reads like a reasonable post.
How flattering. Now if only I can figure out how to do that consciously...

"You can't bake a cake without breaking a few eggs"
I'm getting tired of this saying from proponents of "move-fast n break-things" mentality.
You can actually bake a cake without eggs at all. Flax seeds is a perfectly normal vegan substitute.

Our retro regularly run overtime. This one ran short.
"Interesting, we don't have much to talk about in today's retro"
"It's the first sprint in a long time, where we don't have to pivot half way"
"Oh. Right"
"Don't worry, next sprint we'll be back to normal"
😅 🥲

So I was sorting through speaker photos from @nztechrally.bsky.social 2023... And realised that it's sooo hard to get nice photo of someone public speaking!
I suppose as a speaker, you just have to give up on that. I rarely get a good shot myself. When it happens, it's a miracle 😅

I do like coming into the office, to find free instrument for whacking fragrant buttered steaks. Or someone after an awful meeting...
That aside, this is enough rosemary to supply a steakhouse.
