We do not work on an assembly line. We are not producing identical copies of the same object over and over again. No assembly-line productivity metric can be applied to software development.

Deming once said, “You can measure only 3% of what matters,” and this is one of those cases.

People who check in unreviewed code are anti-productive—someone down the line will have to deal with the problems in that code. Unmodified AI-generated code is overcomplex, and that complexity will kill you down the line. I’m not saying that using AI doesn't make people more productive.

Failing to prosecute US officials and criminal military personnel for war crimes or any of the crimes against humanity that they committed abroad now means those same predators can go through your towns as ICE or police, except this time you are either the terrorists or the "collateral."

For anyone with a memory longer than a goldfish, Trump is just an accumulation of US failure and criminality that the world has had to endure for decades, allies and enemies alike, the biggest difference is the allies no longer have to pretend to be okay with the unending shit show.

I can see why some people might think that Machado giving her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump would embarrass the Nobel committee. But any organization that would give a peace prize to Henry Kissinger is probably immune to embarrassment.

How I know I’m old: protests are making me feel anxious not excited.

I can’t leave WhatsApp because everyone is there and they can’t leave because I’m one of their everyone. How do we all escape?
It’s the only meta product I’m still trapped in.

As part of my series of dudes in man caves, I created this painting titled Sleeping Theseus. After providing a little bit of context about Theseus and the Minotaur, along with speaking about Ariadne, I describe my artwork in detail.

Periodically I’m like, “we should all restart nice simple blogs and RSS feeds and start again and do it better this time”.

As long as we can’t say no I don’t wanna do this task, we can classify ourselves as slaves.
I am definitely one!

What’s the word for not having a single bad thing but feeling really shitty like you lost everything you had?
Am I allergic to happiness?

I feel soooo good that it scares the shit out of me!

You having right to apply for the permanent residency doesn’t mean you can actually apply, my fellow expats in Germany! It’s a loooong process as always in this beautiful country.

I don’t wanna write anything when I’m happy but I wanna describe all the small details when I’m sad. Then all I remember is sadness. Good job brain!

How many times should one say ‘I love you’ silently before saying it out loud?
