There’s one guy in my department who does all the smart home shit, but I absolutely don’t see the point in it. Didn’t even connect the washing machine to the wi-fi as you can’t set it going without having loaded it first anyway.

My CV vs whatever the heck turned up to the office this morning.

Somebody who worked here before tried to do functional in C# by passing delegates into methods instead of injecting interfaces into constructors, across hundreds of repositories. This is why clever people should not be allowed to write code.

We bring Edison to the present with a Time Machine and he goes about sabotaging all the accused machines with his rival’s name so that they spontaneously combust in the street.

SVN is fine for most corporate workflows. Your project is probably not anything like Linux.

You need a USB C “Power Ctrl+Z” key. Unlike the regular Ctrl+Z key one of these bad boys is capable of reversing edits across system reboots until as far back as when you originally plugged it in.

I just kind of knew that, but not sure how.

Tech moved in cycles. We come back to the same half-baked ideas every so on, imagine we just discovered the idea and then build more and more technologies on top to try to fix the foundational problems with the concept until something else shiny comes along.

What’s wrong with being sexy?
