Another team gave our team a work estimate of "5-25 engineer years" for a body of work and TIL "fuck you estimates" are a thing

Trained my cat to let me clip his nails because he knows he'll get treats after. Except now I can't clip my own nails in peace

It's 2026 and people still care about how to pronounce gif?

Logged into work to see an incident channel - #alert-jacks-ai-agent-merging-other-peoples-prs Pure comedy.

It's my one year anniversary at my job and my first meeting isn't until noon. I get to spend all morning just coding.

A whole bunch of Ruby and Rails books from @pragprog.com are 40% off through April 29 with code 2025RAILS -- including the Pickaxe book and Modern Front End with Rails. See the whole list here: media.pragprog.com/newsletters/...

Liking your job is wild because I get emails every pay day and every time, I am shocked that 2 weeks has already passed

My wife got us tickets to Sleep Token 🥹🥹

Beginning to feel like the real value of AI chat bots for coding is that you feel like you're pairing. It's a rubber duck that can sometimes actually make you think differently, like a human pair does

People say vim motions are what make vim special but after pairing with folks that regularly navigate 30+ tabs in Cursor, I'm beginning to think tabs vs buffers is a close second for "most useful"

Yolo'd a chicken fried rice for #goodlunch

A scrappy but #goodlunch

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but today is the first day of your life. Close all the the tabs-mentally, emotional and literally. Take a breath, get outside if you can and start fresh.

The best part of bsky is it feels like the one place on the internet that isn't advertising something to me. Bless

Wild Coast Raw, the company responsible for the tainted food which is causing indoor-only cats to die of bird flu, is deleting comments on their Instagram about the topic. So they're killing pets and trying to cover it up. Cool.

I was beginning to feel like we might finally have precedented times but now I'm thinking we'll be in unprecedented forever. Every day, a new escalation.

For folks in DC with animal pals

I need someone to tell me if the number of plane incidents is actually elevated or if we're just more aware of them now.

FYI, Amazon will no longer enable the downloading of ebooks to exterior devices starting February 26th. You need a pre 2024 Kindle to download them via USB. If you want the aw3 files convertable with Calibre(free), you have until Feb 26 to do this via the Content library option on your account.

My mom got my wife and I a dozen chocolate covered strawberries and a small cheesecake for Valentine's Day 🥹

Meal prepped this week so having some #goodlunch. (with homemade sourdough bread too)

Literally I use Libby through my local library every day.

These members of congress agreed to withhold their votes on funding bills while we fight this consitutional crisis. If they represent you, call/email them tomorrow and say thanks, give them your support, and tell them to hold firm. Find their contact info here: Reps.fyi

Remembered how much I love Tears of the Kingdom over the weekend and now that's all I wanna do

I'm done with work but my wife has an important test she's starting any minute now so I need to Leave Her Alone and so I don't know what to do with myself.

I made this instead of working

Not allowed to use Arc at work (which I understand) so I'm trialling Zen as the thing everyone says resembles Arc but so far the Aesthetic is right but nothing else. It's slightly different Firefox and janky as hell. I miss Arc

My wife made sourdough bread 🤤

Declassified CIA guide to sabotaging fascism is suddenly viral 🔗 www.404media.co/declassified...

Chicago has been so effective at getting Know Your Rights info out that ICE has been publicly frustrated they can't make all the arrests they want to. Good to see it in other places too! Keep it up, folks. Resist ICE everywhere. 👊

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

A lot of people are suddenly interested in Costco! In response to popular demand from my brain to dissociate and avoid my obligations for a few minutes, here's Avdi's Guide to How To Costco:

Starting a new job is the perfect time to grow into the person you want to be. No one knows who you are, so you decide and show them

Pros of today: got my wedding ring. Cons of today: found out hi rez digital downloads of our wedding photos are held hostage at $50 each. Feels like a ransom tbh

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Your school district can do this, too.

Cat was being a menace with the phone charger so I lifted my blanket to give him something to investigate. He crawled in and went to sleep.

People of Chicago, if they do the ICE raids tomorrow (assume they will), 2 big things: (1) ICE warrants aren’t real warrants. If it doesn’t say “United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois” and isn’t signed by a judge, it’s vampire rules, they can’t come in unless invited
