@netikras That is amazing!
That’s how it should be, honestly. It would allow parents to raise better children, which would improve the country as a whole. Why isn’t it that way elsewhere? :(

@netikras The rum isn’t gone. But: new baby.

@Demolishun No; I don’t remember.

@Demolishun Well, I still don’t know where you live, so I can’t deliver it anyway

@Demolishun Bailey’s is okay. I prefer Sheelin, but that’s difficult to find.

What kind of rum do you like? Or whiskey; that’s acceptable too!

@Demolishun You know. Santa tried delivering you a bottle of rum a few years back. But you didn’t answer, so he didn’t know where to deliver it.

@Demolishun It isn’t terribly nice :(

Don’t tell me what to do, @lopu.

Tiredness

My boss was shocked I got six weeks off for having a newborn. He thought I’d be out for just a few days. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I miss rum :(

@lopu …?

@retoor More or less yes :) Oxytocin is nice.
But I thought this was more general.

And I am still tired all the time; definitely moreso now.

“I just want to feel normal again” :(

“I’m so fucking tired.”
“I feel like shit. I always feel like shit, but today’s a bit worse.”
“Dear gods, what do I have to do now?”
“I just want to rest.”
“I wonder what projects I could work on?”
“…right, I won’t be able to because I’ll be too tired”
“Fucking fucking fucking fuck-fuck”

This is a lot of my internal monologue.
Goddamn endless fatigue.

If you have AI write code for you, rather than simply expand existing patterns, assume every line of it is wrong. Actually, assume that no matter what it does. AI sucks.

Fucking what?

@netikras 🍻

@retoor Can verify, -- works too!

@jestdotty Then just proceed straight to the face-stabbing. 🗡️😊

@kiki Actual vaccines, sure! Code injection written by juniors new to the language with no test cases and shipped with an “AS-IS” warranty? No.

I love Ruby. It’s easy to write, easy to read, flexible, and quick to develop with. I can all but write Ruby code in my sleep.

I also love C. It does exactly what I tell it, no matter what, and quickly. It takes longer to write, though, and it’s picky — not Rust picky, but C code still takes conscious effort to write.

I’d love a blend of these that isn’t Go.

Vertical alignment.

Mixing tabs and spaces is heresy, so spaces it is.

@kiki Depends which one.

@cprn haha yeah okay

I know what you mean though. I really miss making other people’s lives better and watching them brighten up because of it. It’s like watering the garden and seeing it bloom.

And yep. Not much sleep for me. It isn’t making me cynical though. (That was $work)

And thanks! ❤️

Note to self: don’t be happy…?

Stop eating glass and start eating beets. It’ll look the same but with a slight difference in outcome: you probably won’t die.

Practice practice!

Also imagine someone you hate laughing at how bad your code looks. Then rewrite it, and imagine stabbing them in the face repeatedly while ridiculing their horrific and chronic keyboard diarrhea. Works wonders for me.

@cprn … and get ignored, or chewed out for “wasting time” on it. Yeah. Great feeling.

@lungdart My condolences for your termination on the 3rd.
