I haven't had a really good argument in a while, and I fear it shows in the gusto with which I've waded into this delivery vs home cooking debate.

Re-read the Kite Runner for the umpteenth time this holiday, as I’m teaching it again.

First time I truly felt like an engineer was the summer of 2018 when I took a Spanish class and the digital whiteboard was buggy, and after watching the normies struggle for 15 minutes I deduced there must be a button somewhere to press and I found it and turned it off and on again and fixed it.

As a non-native English speaker, I have spent a lot of effort to sound like an American. It was a way to be in the in-group in college. Going through this accent test that only requires you to read a couple of sentences was very interesting. It thinks I am swedish

Ah, #flutter. The mobile sdk that made everything hard easy, and everything easy hard.
Want to use secure your app using biometrics, or add gps tracking? Three lines and you're done.

Want to send a simple push notification? Go to hell.

Optimist: the cup is 1/2 full

Pessimist: the cup is 1/2 empty

Software Engineer: well, what was the user doing with the cup that it ended up like this? What were they trying to achieve anyway? Seems like a user error to me.

Ok, but explain why my most popular app is the grocery list manager I created just to test deployments?
