Rolling "weird snack" for the weekly potluck at the same time I learned about pretzel pizza (by @vicmmic.bsky.social ) was some kinda fate

A pretzel pizza. It's a plate of small hard pretzels, covered with pasta sauce and shredded cheese that's been melted by 5 minutes of microwave time. It smells like the worst school pizza and everyone at the function loves it

USA, you're fucking dreaming. The cost isn't rooted in finance but fear. I am desperate to see friends in Los Angeles and New York. The risk of it all (threats of occupation and assimilation while engaging in an economic war, plus brutal policing and immigrant hostility) make visits a nonstarter

I've encountered multiple bugs that I was able to quickly track down to months old code. I could only do that because I'd spent time understanding that code, and all the code around it And if it's someone else's work that I haven't spent time with, at least there's a real person i can ask for help

Sin that must be eternally punished is a culturally Christian idea that you can and should reject. If someone admits wrongdoing and changes their behavior, that's the desired outcome. You don't continue to punish because you then signal there's no point to contrition at all, you're damned either way

So I disagree...I've actually worked remote for the last 6 years and on and off before that with several companies. Remote teams can still build trust, have great communication and make great games together. It takes a different approach than being in the same office but it can be done and done well
