Hit the weekly limit on my 20x plan last week trying to do a full front end rewrite of a giant enterprise web app, 600+ html templates, plus validating every single one with playwright.

In my mind, a senior engineer knows what needs extra attention and where it’s ok to cut corners.

I’d love to hear more about your workflow if you have time to share!

Buying a rig is accepting defeat.

Except this vape ran out faster than I expected. I have a big week at work coming up and I can’t afford the dip in energy level and productivity that comes with withdrawal. I’ll buy one more just this once and then I’ll quit for sure.

Amazing the hoops my mind jumps through for an addictive molecule.

This is a great start! You’re already doing what most people find the hardest: making the first move.

Grabbing coffee, and even going out to dinner, aren’t good activities for making deep connections. They’re too short and too routine. They can work, it’ll just take longer, and you will have to work harder to make sure conversation is meaningful.

I think the best way to make real friendships is to go on a weekend trip somewhere together. First of all, you’re spending days together instead of hours, but more importantly, you’ll have a shared experience to remember. You get to see what someone is like not only during activities and meals, but also during downtime.

Weekend trips could be awkward if it’s just one on one though, so if you don’t have a group, the next best thing is doing an activity together. Figure out a shared interest, then invite your new friend to do something you’d both enjoy. Maybe it’s a concert, talk, hike, whatever. Do that a few times and your new friend will associate you with that activity. Next time they’re going to a concert/talk/hike or whatever, they’ll invite you to tag along.

Manual saving files with different version names is the easiest solution that would probably work for most use cases. That’s what I do for music production. Every time I start a session I save my project with a new minor version, e.g. Epic Banger v0.4, in case I need to revisit older versions. I wish there was a way to include change log messages though.

Why bother with blockchain?

For example, if you had three monthly payments of $5, $10, and $10, you might book something like:

Cash (5) Expense 8.33 Deferred (3.33)

Cash (10) Expense 8.33 Deferred 1.67

Cash (10) Expense 8.33 Deferred 1.67

All three of those blocks of entries balance, but the sum of expenses is 24.99 instead of 25.

I’m not sure there’s a way around this issue if you’re forced to use two decimal places. Luckily the discrepancy is immaterial. I’d love to know if anyone else has encountered this problem.

The best use I can think of is for undercover agents to drink heavily and avoid intoxication!

I bet way more people would try Android if they could fully participate in group texts.

Or at least I did before I switched to writing on my Kindle scribe. I do miss the analog experience sometimes though.

And the website is amazing. “Finally, a command line shell for the 90s”
