I'm not angry, mostly sad.
At my workplace we don't use git.
There are constant overwriting, sending code via email or USB stick and forgetting passwords to zip-files shenanigans going on.
I already use git for all my local projects (literally git init in the directory) but my coworker and I thought that it would be a great idea to have a local server with a Gitlab running on it.
So I started looking into running a self-hosted Gitlab (for about 15 minutes) and then our boss who was sitting right next to me almost shouted at us: "Such stuff should be coordinated with the boss! We don't just do something and burn my money because it's _cool_!"
No, git is not cool, it's necessary for crying out loud! Gitlab is cool but at the end of the day also just another tool too.
I guess I have some persuasion to do.
I don't know what version control has done to our boss that he has such a deep dislike for it.9 -
I'm having a cold and going through Kleenexes faster than a porn addict with Duracell stamina.
So, the question is what therapy exercise to engage in, that fits a brain that's semi dysfunctional due to fever. Last time, I made a Sudoku solver. This turned out to be very useful, because every time someone says "You should try Sudoku!", I can just end the persuasion attempt by replying "I've already solved the general case".
Might do a Rubik's cube solver this time.9 -

THEY HAVE A GARDENING SECTION TOO
it feels so dehumanizing to "talk down" to people like that though. I have to assume they're mentally lazy and emotional and basically treat them like babies... will my morality stop screaming pls. but I really need to understand limitations of others better instead of assuming they can just do everything I can do which is clearly mega stupid of me. I keep burdening people with high expectations and sounding incomprehensible
become one with the emotions. be less robot. 🙏
to be fair me thinking mental laziness, emotionality, identity self-centeredness are negative traits are coming from me. so what if mental laziness, emotionality, identity self-centeredness were virtues instead, and bam better working theory of mind
the skill of having been there, done that
when conceptually stuck, reverse your morals, I guess2
