Python: we have the most obtuse package system known to dev-kind. Rust: hold my cat ears.

It's raining pretty heavily this morning. Given how quickly my upload speed degraded yesterday in similar conditions I'm going to skip today. A laggy stream is no fun for anyone.

The state of the internet is such that any time I see a screen name that looks like a real person's name I automatically assume they're: 1. a bot 2. trying to sell me something 3. both 1 and 2

Infinity dollars, all the GPU's, all the data ever. Gonna cure all the diseases, solve world hunger, obsolete scarcity. Or maybe just make another shitty wearable that people didn't want the first 3 times. www.engadget.com/2267229/meta...

If I slay enough of them maybe I can take some time to separate some whisky concerns. 😂

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Me: It would be good to refactor this to not be one big package for improved separation of concerns and to make it easier to reason about. But I suspect that here there be dragons. Client: Make it so Me, scorched, clawed, and slightly bitten: Yeah, that figures.

The worst part about when the new ant colony that has just moved in discover you have water is waiting for the little bastards to take all the ant poison home and die. I now understand why the Home Depots here have infinity ant poison on the shelf.

I will never understand the clit mouse stans. The most useless human interface device that I have ever had the displeasure to use.

Shit I don't want: 1. clankers telling me if my shit is the same as everyone else 2. pretty much everything that this guy's face is on come to think of it

You either die young, or live long enough to become that old guy who answers every question with "well.... it depends..."

Maybe there's a cheap(or extremely lax) cloud provider operating out of there?

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Nifty, I should see if there's similar tools in the Google world. I recently added analytics to try and understand what things draw attention but I haven't done a ton of digging around in there.

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Is this Google Analytics or something else?

Even worse, they're gonna feed this terrible idea into a chatbot and slop-cannon the results straight into prod. Nary a brain cell shall jostle its neighbor.

In #StarTrek you might de-evolve into a lemur because your neurotic hypochondriac coworker gets a flu shot. Still a better future than whatever all this shit is.

I'm OK with not doing auth, but SQLite remains the GOAT for easy databases IMO.

Making more of them is on the TODO list. It's just a huge time investment, so I haven't gotten around to doing it. You're the second person to mention struggling with channels though.

Possibly. What kind of things/scenarios do you think would be valuable to cover? I believe at the end of this one I briefly covered using a goroutine for graceful shutdown but I think I kinda glossed over it because it wasn't the focus and they're a little bit more advanced.

I'm on a TNG binge and it's glorious. Old TV just hit different.

La Forge: "We want to do experiments on the critical systems of the spaceship/computer keeping us all alive." Me: gee, that sounds like something you should not do in production. Episode: *dramatic music plays, because stuff is very broken now* #TNG was so far ahead of its time #StarTrek

I had forgotten that Star Trek deals regularly with the loss of friends, parents, spouses, etc. A stark contrast to the modern era, where everything must carry 27 warning labels for an offhanded mention.

Anyone else ever get the urge to do a Worf-stache?

Every time I try to be more social I remember why I stopped trying to be more social.

I know that look! That's the "I have eggs and you don't" look. Right? :)

Why do I suddenly crave hardboiled eggs?

It has been 0 days since investing time in #testing has saved me from a silly #database mistake in the #backend

Dug up some old media. No advertisements, no #TheAlgorithm trying to suggest what to play next. No episode summary, no discography, #nodistractions. Feels good.

No! Questies are what you do in RPGs! They can't have them! :P

Stupid brain, what does it even know?

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Y'all ever just work on a thing to shut your brain up? Not serious effort, just wasting time, and then oopse you accidentally a thing? I may be in danger of that, brain won't shut up about it.

Been thinking a lot about #freelance work recently. The big platforms all look very "race to the bottom"-ey to me. Are there any effective alternatives to those platforms? Is there a market for back-end dev work in proper back-end languages? #softwaredeveloper

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Easy, they don't care. 😂 They have all the power in the current job market, because there's a lot of us out of work right now. They can take their pick and all the better if you're willing to tolerate 47 interviews and four free projects. That just means you'll tolerate the dumpster fire.

010

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

If you're conducting #interviews and you promise a followup by the end of the week, it's imperative that you hold yourself to that. If you fail to do so you're sending a very clear signal to the applicant. 1. We are disorganized 2. We don't value you as a candidate #recruiting #hiring

I was commenting a while back about how whenever you watch a short half the subtitles are blatantly wrong and we're just OK with that now I guess.

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

I thought I missed it, but then I realized that I just needed to read all of the words. 😂

I spent some time watching #StarTrek TNG yesterday. I had never really directly noticed that there seem to be at least two intermingled storylines going on in each episode. I noticed it because it "felt" different while watching. Am I going crazy or is this something we no longer do in TV?

000

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

It should be illegal to have more than two interviews for a role. 😒

Bro is out here saying this Dominos pizza is the best thing he's ever cooked and wondering why the chefs are laughing at him. Also tomatoes cost $500 each now because Dominos and Pizza the Hut are buying all the tomatoes. With investment money from the tomato farmers.

But hey at least we have unemploymentmaxxed and infinity shitty piss yellow cartoon illustrations for LinkedIn moron's posts.

Copilot hasn't told them to do that yet. And I'm pretty sure everyone still working there who has any power to direct efforts has forgotten how to think for themselves.

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Just a little reminder to all my GenX (I didn't forget you) and Millennials out there. Right now, we have the opportunity to not become the boomers. Shut the fuck up about the burritos. Learn to coach the youngs instead of shitting on them.

Has anyone ever looked at a suburb and not been immediately filled with the same sort of deep primal dread that a mouse must feel when being placed in a cage?

Mongoose Studios @mongoosestudios.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

No streams this weekend either because I really need to work on this project. Progress is good, there's just a lot to do. Sorry for the late notice.

Mongoose Studios investors (me) think it's worth $4 trillion. No lowballers. I know what I got.
