mfw I go looking for reliable secular statistics but the religious site gives me exactly what I want.

Sent a potentially CLM email. CLM is my personal acronym for "Career Limiting Move", which is in turn a euphemism for "telling an idiot colleague how you really feel".

That was some hail

Who knew that the hardest part of the SDLC was simply organising meetings?

A friend asked me if I knew any good web designers and I said “Tim Berners-Lee” and now they aren’t talking to me anymore.

In the light of the #keybase debacle, I decided to take another look at matrix/synapse/homeserver.

Documentation and setup is possibly worse than it was last time I looked. Those folks would do with to spend some serious time on their documentation and setup tools.

Today's workload has consisted of 50% meetings and 50% meeting-related friction. What a fucking waste of time.

Stakeholder: "Why has X not been done? Why has Y been prioritised over X??"

Also Stakeholder: <does not attend prioritisation meeting>

Decided to document my nerd times for once https://words.ppl.town/tardisx/discrete-ir-codes-for-a-hisense-tv

OK I sort of get data vs props in #vuejs now. It caused me a lot of confusion for a long time. Every time I have one of these lightbulb moments I wonder if the documentation was bad, or I was just bad at reading it....

The science experiment continues

In what world does it make sense for my boss to call me at 8:30 and then send me a text to say he’s still on leave until tomorrow?

Getting ridiculous

Not really sure what to do with them now. It's too late in the year for them to grow successfully. I thought the birds would eat the seeds but apparently not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ummmm....
