Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just bad
Started messing around with Rust, and I'm actually enjoying it? Could never really get into writing C for some reason, and Go is just a mess, but I think Rust is the right mix of familiar syntax and safeguards for dumb idiot dotnet developers like me for me to get into it. Even made my first open source contribution in a long rear end time.

cjs: Emotional roller-coaster this morning as the configuration change I made yesterday took down a service today. Tracked down the problem to a line that has an "if environment != PROD" check in it. Curse the name of whomever did that as I do a git blame. Oops, it was me. Well, what was it before? Oh, I just moved a line my predecessor wrote, whew.

when i was unmedicated basically nothing worked at all but now that i am i've found that controlling my environment is everything. if i'm sitting at my home desk with my home pc it's almost impossible for me to get anything done, but if i just move my work laptop into the kitchen or living room it's like nothing else exists. not saying this will work for you but it's worth trying if you haven't already

Do people really feel personally respected by the fact that slack emojis have skin tones? It seems really weird to me because the default emoji is not the color of any human's skin, and it almost feels like the implied message is that a thumbs up has a different meaning depending on the color of the person's skin which seems gross as gently caress.

i feel the same way about having multiple genders (e.g. male and female detective) that mean the exact same thing in use and would prefer that everything was gender ambiguous but at least with those it feels a little bit more like a representative choice of like "i am doing detective work" instead of just abstract "joy" or "agreement" or whatever

whats even worse is theres one white guy in our org that uses black emojis for everything, as i think some sort of perceived solidarity thing. really bizarre behavior.

they're basic things that should be there for those that want to use them. pretending they're any more than the bare minimum scraps is the problem.

i imagine it hits different if you're a person of color (i.e. not white) since while the yellow tone is basically simpsons-esque, the simpsons are also obviously white (race) in design. it's minor, but it's the bare minimum of recognizing people exist, which is better than what has been for a long time.




lol if you even get halfway past the "building" step before loving off to some other hyperfocus
