It’s one of magi!

I’m late to this, but could a kind soul explain what I’m missing out on by using urxvt? I settled on it years ago and haven’t changed anything.

I certainly get lag in my pixels but no disconnects.

I’ve learned a lot by breaking things. By making mistakes and watching other people make mistakes. I’ve writing some blog posts that make me look real smart.

But mostly just bang code together until it works. Run tests and perf stuff until it looks good. It’s time. I have the time to write it up. And check back on what was really happening.

But I still mostly learn by suffering.

I just have to say “tastes like c” is a visceral way to say it. I approve.

I remember it being small probes, big earth mounted pushing laser, and not stopping at the destination.

I think blind itself drives some interesting bias. The public posts are pretty incel. You need a critical mass of folks at your company to have a company private board so it attracts folks from bigger companies. It doesn’t seem to represent average folks well. Unless I have no idea what average is.

I’m not sure what to do with that instinct. The overall results say a thing I wanted to hear. It all feels weird.

Catch 22 is just about the funniest thing I’ve ever read. I don’t think you’ll finish it in a day, but it’s amazing.

Never Let Me Go is the most “not for me” book I’ve ever read. I can see why people love it. And I respect what it’s doing. I just don’t want to play a long.

Project Hail Mary used to come up on r/books from time to time and was polarizing. Lots of folks loved it. Lots thought it wasn’t good.

If you loved the Martian I think you’ll like PHM. I did.

I’ve stopped using stash and mostly just commit to my working branch. I can squah that commit away if I want later. But we squash before merge so it doesn’t tend to be worth it.

It’s just less things to remember.

My job is almost entirely public on GitHub. It is in my resume and the next time I use my resume I hope folks read it. Lots of folks won’t but they probably don’t value my particular set of skills.

I think the usual wisdom is most jobs won’t care.

I’m just a hacker. I’ll never be a thought leader. But I am passionate about my work. And my kids.

I love solving the problems. I have a few posts on the company blog but they put a chat bot on it a while back and didn’t care that it felt offensive to me.

But I’m here, reading this. Maybe I’m grey matter.

I recommend it. Try to go in blind.

Many years ago the Unicode Consortium has a fundraiser where you sponsored and emoji. Someone at my company sponsored one and posted to the internal mailing list. Short story short a couple dozen of us sponsored stuff and the company paid us back and wrote a cute blog post. Cheap marketing. Felt good.

“I once ran the Indy 500. I must confess I’m impressed how I did it I wonder how close that I came.”

I don’t know but the suggest makes me so happy.
