boobsbr··on Tips for stroke-surviving software engineers
> HEADPHONES, blinders, and 'No'. Eliminate unwanted inputs at the earliest point of entry.

Open-floor offices, non-stop emails and chat messages, several meetings scattered throughout the week and the day.

boobsbr··on How to turn liquid glass into a solid interface
I have El Capitan running on a 2015 Air.

The main problem is getting new certificates, because the ones bundled in the OS have expired. It took a lot of searching to find something that worked and I'm not sure if it was one "solution", or the result of multiple "solutions" being tried out.

The secondary problem is new software won't run properly, like corporate/commercial VPN clients. It took a lot of fiddling to get Tunnelblick to work with a commercial VPN, and I couldn't get some corporate client to work, even using an old version.
