Mac Mini Pro and 27” 5k standalone VESA mount Apple monitor.

I literally have a stack of cash here waiting for that to exist.

I can see the benefit of this. We have similar problem with JIT executing on a whole bunch of containers during a roll out.

However I’d rather scrap the software and rewrite it in something with a full AOT compiler and rapid startup at this point. And without more dependencies which will fuck up mid deployment whenever cloud provider X falls over.

I worked for a company a number of years ago which demanded accounting of everything company related so I did indeed timesheet stuff I did outside of the office. I got paid for it. Of course I mentioned this to colleagues who did a combination of the same and putting any old shit in it to get paid.

Eventually after a few weeks the requirement to timesheet our work was removed. Clearly it was costing more money than they anticipated. This was under the guise that they trusted us and didn’t need the reporting any more (bullshit!)

One of the glorious things about timesheets is that they are an interesting infallibility paradox. The owner of the timesheet system will tend not to question what is recorded as it proves the system is fallible, so you can record anything.

Honestly that sounds like you aren’t garbage collecting enough. I have perhaps 3-5 tabs open in one browser and 3-5 apps open at any time. Also working in VSCode, terminals and browser mostly.

I coworker runs his windows box with about 100 tabs iOS. Sometimes. Just close some shit.

Please don’t give me flashbacks to that horse crap.
