I pop three eggs in a pan, add salt and cover with four slices of toast. Flip when the eggs are done and drop on a slice of cheddar and ham, some rucola. When the toast is toasty i just fold 'em over at th egg-seam.
I call it Alabama eggs - because they’re in bread.
My provider has a shared CGI script that added the post at a special tag in your HTML file.
…and because of poor permission handling everyone just had write permissions to these files for anyone to edit.
Never did, never had s problem telling which is which. It’s just spatial awareness to me.
We did a lot of orienteering at school, and for sports. Maybe that helped.
Prepping my caravan for winter storage. Mattresses, cushions go out. Liquids get drained. Batteries and gas bottles go in the garage. Tyres get inflated to their max spec to keep shape over winter.
Czech has this special Ř sound, which is somewhere between a rolling R and the S in vision (/ˈvɪʒən/). I’m learning Czech as a fifth language, so while I can pronounce it standalone or at the start of a word it takes all my focus to manage mid-word.
I bought a house ten years ago. I’ve locked the mortgage payments at ~$1000. I’ve since moved countries and been renting it out for the last four years. The current tenants pay ~$2200 and their own utilities. Seven more years and my mortgage is no more.
I spent some more time thinking about this. Me and a group of friends spent way too many years playing a MUD game back in the 90s. Some would jot down maps of areas.
I didn’t find maps particularly helpful, but I guess I felt like the rooms had a direction and would navigate by that. I could probably still find my way around there. I’d describe it like a vector database.
Yes. I have a good spatial thinking and memory. I know where I’ve seen my glasses last, I just can’t visualise it.
I delivered packages for the postal service one summer during studies. It took me two weeks to memorize all the streets of the town I had moved to two years prior.
I prefer to do my 3D modelling in OpenSCAD because 2D visualizations are harder to work with than math & code.
I’m a team lead. I have an engineering manager above me. He expects my team to be autonomous. He’s involved in quarterly planning, but otherwise I really just reach out to clarify what’s expected of my team.
As for my team. I expect the team members to be autonomous. We sync every other day. We share what we’re working on - not so much for micromanaging but to make sure we reach out for help if we’re stuck instead of wasting time silently. Its also for knowledge-sharing. It makes it easier to pick up Bob’s projects when he suddenly quits without warning. And others can learn to avoid his mistakes.
Currently we’ve got too much work that there’s no downtime for any major learning on the clock. My previous job had subscriptions to online learning platforms and I had quarterly goals to complete at least one.
Writing code was never 100% of the job. The hard part of software engineering is understanding the problem and figuring out the most elegant path to solve it. If AI can do the code-writing part faster, then it’s a good tool to use.
I still spend a third of my week in meetings. I put out on-call fires late at night.
I also spend a good chunk of my time interviewing potential hires. I pretty much expect them to use AI for their code assignments. Including prompt history is a plus if they do. What I do gauge is their ability to explain their code, defend the decisions and know how to adapt to changing circumstances.
I know how to get to this point by starting a couple of decades ago. I do recognise that I don’t have the same grasp of our codebase as if I had written it by hand. I do review everything that gets deployed, but the volume is higher and it doesn’t stick as well.
I don’t know how to get in as a jr today. We’ll know in a few years how it’s done. It’s a new landscape, but if you’re passionate about the field you’ll figure it out.
I usually don’t. But this year I have a new-to-me car that had a couple of cross-threaded wheelbolts. Changing the whole hub is pricy and the shop refused to replace just the bolt. I managed to re-thread the other.
Anywho, most lug nuts were really on there, so I gave them a dab of marine grease. I always re-tighten at 1, 100 and 1000km and before any longer trip. But they haven’t moved at all since the 1km re-tightening.
For personal projects I’ve just got a VPS where me and a couple of partners in crime push over ssh. It’s very informal and merges are requested in our group chat.
At my previous place of employment we selfhosted gitlab. I much prefer that over corporate github. I want my own fork, not a shared repo.
I’m pretty sure the US army used to recommend peeing on your own feet in the shower to reduce athlete’s foot.
I’m staying with the in-laws. We’ve got the dogs in the house. Amazingly none of them care about fireworks.
We do have a toddler who had her night sleep interrupted by big bada-booms half the night. I was hoping to acclimatise her before her bedtime, but there were none to be seen then.
I’m a software engineer. I also do programming as a hobby.
Programming as a job can be draining, but I find that autonomy makes it enjoyable. If I’m just checking off tickets that I don’t care about, I’d have very little motivation to so so. If I can plan the road map and start at the end where my work makes the most impact, then I’m a lot more passionate about doing so.
The first week at any job is always exhausting. There’s a lot to take in, and a lot of active decision-making to do. It gets better fast when a lot of small things start going on autopilot.
Long commutes add to the suck.
I speak Swedish from Finland. Similar variation as Sweden’s Eurovision entry.
