“I have the seat full of water”

“must be the water”

That’s quickly become my favourite radio exchange of all time

RIP to the folks who have to make the Race in 30 edit.

It’s mostly going to be 25 minutes of people running off the chicane, and Lando mowing the lawn.

Stroll is kinda my least favourite driver.

I would rather someone who’s competitive get a seat.

That’s good, i like Tsunoda, I hope he does really well.

I generally don’t watch the practice sessions

This happens when I outsource reading the docs to AI agents.

wait… there was a function for that? Why did you tell me to build this house of cards

It was 900mb raw and compressed to 1.6mb after cleaning.

That’s how much junk data there was.

Combing through that log is the only way to prove and identify where a big was introduced so I can fix it.

Maybe the RB #2 car is just cursed.

Has Horner tried burning sage in the cockpit?

You’ll miss out on some primo maple syrup

Most recently:

I had to parse an html table with a column of printed python dictionaries, the dicts wrapped a mixed delimiter list of SQL statements of various types.

It’s truly an abomination.

I’ve never had to use pythons AST module to parse data before…

Yeah, they’re about pakled intelligence now.

Is that the new ifixit one?

No, it’s one of the few use cases of emacs.

Stuff like openWRT routers get a pass.

If it has a local host API I would use it because it never has to connect to the internet.

Anything in my house smarter than the IKEA remote control light switch gets crushed with a hammer.

I just got this vision of Horner standing outside a chicken pen and telling Tsunoda “okay now pick up and bring me that chicken”

How fast and wily could one chicken be?

I’m mostly joking, but most of what I code lately is integrations and data tools where 90% of the thing is configuration and lining up different tools.

It’s a lot of load data form yaml, build json, throw that into a tool and the build a report kind of glue. I’ll use pydantic and stuff where it makes sense, but I’ve been spending a lot of time lately between lua and python and javascript.

I used to do more system and engineering stuff which actually required a lot of planning, but that’s just not what has paid the bills for me the last few years.

but we still get that tech debt sprint?

And halfway interesting means beyond a medium blog written by someone with 3 months experience trying to pad their resume, and not following standards beyond default linting rules at all

Lately my approach to dev is “I don’t care about your language feautures, I’m going to treat it like lua and just stuff objects with data and write bare functions to process them”

Unless I need to engineer something complex, everything is dict[any:any].

I’m sure you’ll get a sprint to clean up the tech debt and a pizza party. Management promised!
