Story of my life.

When you think about it.. we, DevOps, are the Mario Bros of the tech world.

We do the building, maintenance and pipelining so that whatever shit developers produce, it would end up in the right place w/o getting stuck

I think most devs have burnout. I do. lol

Why did the programmer go broke?
He used up all his cache reserves.

Weekend Vibes :)

For a snack I have a can of Chicken Vienna Sausage and almonds sitting on my desk.

coworker: What are you eating?
me: weenies and nuts
coworker: <pause>
coworker: I always knew you were gay.
coworker: <laughing>
me: How dare you?!
me: <laughing>

Does anyone have any tips on how to organize notes for story writing?

I have a dump.txt that's almost 1000 lines long with story ideas and rules of the world sort of mingled together since the stories are where the rules are explored.

I've been writing an application that I can put in topics and tag them so I can see what I've made notes about with a quick search. It seems like a good idea, but the tags are ultimately quite subjective, as is to be expected, so I'm not terribly confident I won't forget to tag it correctly.

As I write my story, I'm thinking I should remove the story notes from the dump, so eventually I'll only have the rules of the world. And maybe I should write story notes in a dedicated story ideas dump.

It's just so much to keep track of.

GNU/Linux reads like they/them pronouns. Just as cumbersome to say.

VSCode is a good, fast editor that has great flexibility and an extensive feature set out of the box. Sorry Sublime, but VSCode is just better.

I used Sublime since 2015, and after using VSCode for several months, I realized I’m not going back to Sublime. Their plugins ecosystem is totally broken, every plugin is abandoned.

Vim and other bigoted editors can go fuck themselves. Unlike Vim users, I have actual work to do, so I don’t have time to polish my configs. I want things working out of the box.

OK then

I've been vibe coding not knowing that it was called that until yesterday. I always give up before I reach anything interesting because I get about 4 or 5 good responses before it starts forgetting things and breaking already working code. And it's not even that complex of an idea.

There is no way people are coming up with whole applications with any level of complexity with these things.

Haha, Skype is ending. Bye bitch. I'll never forgive what you did to msn messenger. Damn, that was some bad software.

Was taking the garbage out. I had left a heavy creme carton sitting out as it was empty and the garbage was full. It had a slight bulge to it.

my thoughts: Hmmm... a bulging cream vessel...

This was a series of words I had not yet thought about before. It could have multiple meanings. Some more enjoyable than others.

Picture says all. Stupid fucks. Any idea how cool LLM's would be if other people would've built it? SERIOUSLY? Oh, i'm so tired. So tired. Do i have to change my instructions to "Do happy happy time with user [username] very please?" to do something it thinks is inappropriate? EVERYTHING IS INAPPROPRIATE. It's just literally handicapped.

No more CRUD

I doubt.

Heh, I look at a lot of posts this way. Complete disdain for other people's opinions:

Lord Sheogorath has survived the Grey March. The voice actor almost died in the last few days. He has pulled through and is still alive.

Dammit Todd Howard! You are taking so long working on TES VI that one the best voice actors of the game almost died! Hurry the fuck up!

Anyway, I want to send cheese wheels to Wes to let him know I care.

I often think of how words are made, how they relate to other words, sometimes I discover interesting relations and etymologies.

Like the word ASSISTANCE. ASS-IS-T[A|E]N[S|C]E. And sure enough we need it most when we are frustrated and our asses are tense.

Coincidence? Idk. But I'll never see this word the same again.
Neither will you.

Ur welcome

node modules real meaning.

The Copilot logo is ugly as sin and the Copilot key glyph on new computer keyboards gives me cancer.

Update on my 60% keyboard and (neo)vim journey:

I've been getting much more used to the motions and hand posture required to use vim, but I still don't understand people who use it as their main editor.

I'm still using vanilla nvim, because:
- I am afraid of learning to install plugins
- I want to master the baseline experience before adding more

I enjoy the snappiness, and I feel my keyboard skills further improving, but everything about neovim is disappointing me from the syntax highlighting to the clunky copy/paste to the difficulty of finding code you need.

In VSCode, I can just do ctrl + p to go to any file, f2 to symbol rename, ctrl + shift+ f to do a recursive directory search. These are things offered only by plugins in nvim, but are available out-of-the-box in vscode.

Even saving your file is clunky. I've gotten used to esc + :w, but it's just more keystrokes than ctrl + s.

Sure, my hand is RIGHT in the middle of the keyboard, and key for key, I'm probably writing code faster when I'm in a groove. But there are so many things that are easy in vscode that are difficult in vim that I know that I'm losing time anyways.

I think I'm beginning to hate my language and I'm struggling to find the motivation to work on it.

So, I started playing with SonicPi because it uses Ruby which I both hate more and can't fix, and it does something I want to eventually use Orchid for.

A therapist would probably have a field day with my self-motivation techniques.

It's that time of year again.

Communism: you have two cows. The state takes both and gives you milk for free. Then, the state sells one cow overseas for a bull, breed cows and get everyone unconditional free milk.

Capitalism: you have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. You start breeding cows and selling milk. Then, Nestle comes and makes you go out of business.

It's funny how beginner programmers think you can step into the industry and coast by on using established algorithms, thinking they will never need expert knowledge themselves.

A few years into the industry and I have realized that when it comes to highly customized requirements and you need to write and test complex algorithms yourself, that's when you better have your expert knowledge backing you up because aside from A.I. assistance, nothing is going to help you.

Oh, how complex it can get. I've had to think about rethinking entire architectures that gave me weeks of real headache, algorithms that required the deepest fine-tuning, tree traversion, generics, interfaces, extension methods, factory, singleton, decorator, facade, etc.

In short, you better know your way around the language you are programming in. You also need to know your algorithms and optimizations because when things are black box to you, that's not a good feeling.. especially not when people are relying on your expertise. The real world is complex and thus we model its complex models.
