There are a lot of scrum masters who have never actually programmed

I've only seen that with transient dependencies that are instantiated via Reflections

I had a job that required estimation on bug tickets. It's honestly amazing how they didn't realize that I'd take my actual estimate, then multiply it by 4, then use the extra time to work on my other bug tickets that the 4x multiplier wasn't good enough for.

I don't even want to fall down the rabbit hole of installing MacOS on a normal laptop again and my old 2014 Thinkpad with 8gb of ram plus 256gb ssd isn't going to light the world on fire performance wise.

I have a bigger issue: a bunch of undocumented CANADIAN geese in MY BACKYARD! I want ICE to send them BACK to Snow Mexico!

The trick with a kardia is to look away when you run the test. I try to look out a window or something.

WHOA! I prefer my po-tay-toes sliced and fried in duck fat.

When I first took an object oriented programming class it was all about inheritance so that's what I tried to use for everything. Then I started writing real programs and realized that inheritance sucked then finally found the succent "Favor composition over inheritance".

I see the current base Mac Mini going for $499 new, but that's 16gb of unified ram and a 256 ssd. I'm currently using 17.5gb of memory on win11, but most of that is Brave with a ton of extensions loaded with many tabs. I'd be using the Mac for typical office stuff with some occasional programming probably with JetBrains IDEs. I'd like to do some AI stuff too, my current laptops are way too slow.

Running 40gb of RAM like a madman on my 2yr old Ryzen laptop for which the upgrade cost me $44.

I have afib and have been cardioverted once ~4 years ago. Own a kardia ekg and a regular blood pressure cuff. Coffee increases my pulse, but the waveform remains normal. Alcohol is the real killer, a very small amount like a beer will immediately show in ekg waveform abnormalities. Enough to get a buzz and it's a warzone let alone actually drunk. It's also surprising how long it lasts even into the hungover and no longer drunk zone. I'm not a doctor, but I would personally recommend to cut out all drinking with an occurrence of afib and yes, this is conjecture, but any sort of heart condition. I'm also not being sponsored by kardia and am creeped out by it storing my data presumably on the cloud.

I seriously want a Mac, but I hate Apple's pricing and stinginess with RAM/Storage sizes.

My BS comp sci degree was a waste of time, to be real. Fairly certain my first job out of college would have been appropriate for myself as a high school senior. One of my parents and two of my grandparents were programmers without needing anything more than a high school diploma. Despite the push for trades, I couldn't even get an interview without a degree even despite my experience. Add in the increase in the cost of living, stagnant wages, plus inflation and it doesn't make a pretty picture.

It takes something like a week to acclimate to lower salt intake. Not hard at all, it's like coming down on caffeine or weed. Salt is very important in pasta to keep the shape of the noodle. Whole wheat pasta alone is a giant step up in health outcomes, especially considering school kid's famous preference for McD's, which has a ton of sodium. I also want to link the John Stewart rant about Olive Garden not salting the pasta, but can't find it.

Ever wondered why hospital food tastes bad? It's cooked en masse without salt so that people with a sodium restriction (heart healthy) can eat the same meat as everyone else. The sodium denaturizes the meat and affects flavor greatly.

Total college cost per year for four kids in your grandfather's time: $10k.

Total college cost per year for four kids today: $400k.

I have a Pixel 7 and it's ridiculously slow so I've been thinking about GrapheneOS.

If they're going to reduce me to a user, iOS is the better choice. I had an iPhone before and it's a picture taking, instagram, social media machine with iMessage—bringing the console wars to normies since inception.

Because the hardware is so constrained an iphone lasts forever compared to a similar android. My two year old pixel is slow now, but I know people completely happy with a five year old iphone. Pause, I checked and the oldest iphone that receives updates is an iphone 11, which is the exact model I had before going back to android.

Too bad that I'm going iPhone if Google removes sideloading and now I know about revanced so they aren't getting any more than the zero dollars that youtube and youtube music are worth from me

I manually installed Deno via Chocolately, but I also installed yt-dlp from choco so it's on v2025.10.22

Did you see how the FFMPEG project patched a bug for a 1995 console? That's not a good use for the limited amount of volunteers on the project. It actively makes it less secure by taking away from more pertinent bugs.

They're actively making open source projects less secure by publishing bugs that the projects don't have the volunteers to fix

I saw another poster say something about "buggy software". All software is buggy.
