If search engines had launched today, tech influencers would be falling over themselves labelling the use of search operators like +/-, " ", allintitle, allinurl, site, etc. as "search query engineering" 🙄

That brief instant when I have to turn off Pi-Hole to see if a website is broken (it's always a digital marketing adjacent site.... :eyeroll: ) because of it makes me feel so icky.

I can't talk to or about anyone named "Mauro" any more without going "SHUT THE FUCLK UP MAURO" in my head, why Linus why 😭

Just realised that "Copilot" is an anagram of "Clip Too". Microsoft's marketing team is really missing a trick by not pushing the "AI Clippy" angle!

Surely, SURELY, a basic bit of knowledge for experienced engineers joining an established team with a large codebase would be to NOT disregard Every. Single. Convention. of that codebase 🤔

Hey Snowflake, can you make it easier than having to fire up the browser's devtools to find parts of a query plan that looks like this?

Very glad for my 12+ year-old Raspberry Pi that just keeps chugging along blocking gunk from my home network!

It's been many years since I last daily-drove a Windows machine for dev stuff, and I still miss Notepad++ when opening random text formats that are not part of a "project".

Zed comes the closest to being that "lightweight, but can do everything" editor replacement, but something's still lacking.
