and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

I love when you order food in a foreign restaurant and the head waiter gets sent over to warn you about the meal, and check if you want it
There is no way I’m not having that now

The word “login” comes from throwing a log attached to a rope with knots overboard a ship to see how many knots go by over time (see also, knots as speed). You’d then put that info in the “log book.” You’d “log in” on a regular basis. This wasn’t from 1959, it was likely from 1689! Etymology baby!

The makers of Breaking Bad used 62 episodes to tell a slightly worse version of a story Steely Dan told in 4m38s in Kid Charlemagne. If you watched Breaking Bad, you lost.

None of these is anyone's favourite tool. I guess "Works with the shitty tools your company forces you to use because of a one-off backhander a decade ago" was too long

On this date in 1794 was born famed orator Edward Everett, who spoke at Gettysburg for two hours before Abraham Lincoln took two minutes for his own remarks. Everett was entirely gracious:
"The fuck, Abe? Did you write that shit on the back of an envelope at breakfast? Fuck me. I'm dead."

As a cyclist my problem with the online cycling community is that it is mostly white privileged men who desperately want to be the victims for once. It’s why they can’t ever accept any responsibility or admit any flaws

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

Thought experiment: If a narcissist orangutang punches all your friends giving them 20-40% bruises all over their bodies, but the same orangutang only punches you so bad you get 10% bruises because you kissed his hairy, orange ape arse - is that something to feel good about?

Lady Day, ie nine months before Christmas Day. Until the mid-C18th this was officially New Year’s Day in England (which must have been inconvenient). Combined with the loss of eleven days in September 1752 with the move to the Gregorian calendar, this explains why the tax year starts on 6th April.
