A friend of my compared gutting of federal agencies to a wrecking a car: if you remove 30% of the parts of the car, it does not go 30% slower. It stops working.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.
The show must go on.

I like her even more now! Knitting is the best
Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.
It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌
I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

As an engineer, the best way to make a splash at a new job is to break all of the test suites multiple times in your first week or two. Make the tests scared of you instead of the other way around.

lots of devastation and negativity on the feed today.
i know this won’t solve anything, but maybe it’ll make someone smile and just forget for a small moment.

Writing tests is not my favorite part of coding (mostly because I'm rusty and it's tedious) but the feeling I get when I've been trying to make a test pass for a couple of hours and it finally does is enough to make it worth it.

Very few things get the feel good brain chemicals pumping as hard as getting a job offer after an extended period of unemployment. 🙏

@eve6.bsky.social is Bowling For Soup on here yet?
I know Bowling for Soup said high school never ends but learning that fully grown adults track who follows who on Instagram and who unfollows who and sometimes get paid for this is breaking my brain a lot.

It's actually very easy to fault them. UT chose that schedule more than any other school on this list ☕
Will be interesting to see the SEC pecking order, and it's hard to fault Texas for the schedule it was handed... but 1 team is not like the others here.

Just found a fun (maybe new) edge case with iMessage. Apparently you can start multiple group messages with the same people if you name the chats. Not sure if that was intentional but it’s interesting!

I don’t understand how inventory systems are so difficult to figure out that a store can be completely out of stock of something when it says they have 10 in stock online. Especially for a nationwide retailer.
