My coworkers say the f-word all the time, but someone is shocked that I wrote "tango-uniform"? (I mean, literally typed those exact words.)

Why Slack is superior to Discord for text chat:
Slack sorts 👍 before 👎 . Discord sorts alphabetically and makes it more likely you'll accidentally respond in the negative.

Having trouble believing it's December already.
I don't even know how to feel about Christmas at this point.

@pagrus Are you in Philly? I work in Old City, or I do when working in an office is a thing. Live in Jersey, though.

Game (and other software) developers... do not assume that the computer I play your game or use your software) on has access to my email account. I get your "verify account" email on my phone, and if you insist that verifying be able to reach the launcher, and won't let me closer the launcher because it didn't get the verification from the website reached from the email verification link... your shit's broke.

And then discovering third parties _do_ make replacement parts and you could have just bought one on Amazon.

Nothing like boycotting a major hardware store chain, and then finding your kitchen faucet is exclusive and you gotta buy parts from them, or spend 10x more for a new faucet elsewhere.

I went into my Firefox history, selected 52,000 entries (all of 2018 and a few older) and hit "delete". Been waiting more than ten minutes for it to come back. Firefox has a single core pegged. Just now, the count of selected items changed to 51.7k .

Praising your coworkers is important. But insincere flattery is damaging.

Who knew that one of the biggest challenges of the modern pandemic would be to sync video streaming so people could watch TV together over a video call?
