Recently, for _reasons_, I had to use a site that required "uploading" documents via webcam with web-browser :-|

... why is beyond me...

But, a little OBS virtual webcam magics saved some trees. And time. And this pleases me more than the website displeased me x-)

If it seems like I've been a quite as of late, it's may be I've been building infra, backend, and things for a new product!

Cannot say much, for reasons, but can say it ain't _enhanced_ by no slop ;-)

... And if things go well, then _soon™_ I may have want of a designer

Free tech-tip for attracting top talent, use following keyboard short cuts in both browsers;

- Firefox → Ctrl^Shift^K
- Chromium → Ctrl^Shift^J

... If you see red, then they see red, and your dev-team should fix it!

Otherwise, be like Org's walking 'round with fly down |-:

Spam: hey can you promote co-pilot mustard class hand book thingy?

Me: I'm not sure I can help promote training with tools that are little different than reading tea leaves... But I am open to helping with tech/training that provides reliable, and real, value to users ;-)

I've been witness to the moments when someone drops the belief of, "I cannot do anything"

I've successfully wiped MicroSoft™ Windows® plus EULA© version 10 from a device

Now using NixOS on bare-metal, instead of dual-booting via USB or via virtual machine.

Mostly happy with the results... _mostly_

Today I (re)learned how trashy GitHub's DevEx is for code review

Glance at the "Files changed" tab, think thoughts at replying to a code review, caress the text input box, and suddenly all replies are "Pending"!

Reviewers wont see replies until submitting via extra clicks :-|

I've seen production sites do;

console.clear();

... as a "_security_ measure" on the client-side.

Periodic reminder; fifteen minutes of reading the manual plus five minutes of Bash scripting, can save hours of faffing-about with a _real_ programming language's tooling.

Published a quick tech-tip today about how I manage long-lived feature branches via Git Worktrees;

... because big projects that require much review shouldn't slow-down one's progress, or prevent dog-fooding new features/fixes.

`RockstarLang/rockstar` was published on the GitHubs, so managers had to find a different buzz-word/term.

`joaomilho/Enterprise` The Enterprise™ programming language is of a similar _vibe_

... Few more months wouldn't surprise me if CrackedLang gets published x-)
