every codebase I've worked adjacent to had vast swaths of code no one could understand or debug. the older or the more hands the more likely there was black magic you just had to hope never had to be touched. this is a running SWE joke for decades! the situation has gotten way, way better.

The "1984 calendar meme" except it's "I want to buy a steam machine" and the calendar reads January 1698, when Thomas Savery sold a steam powered water pump for the first time.

What a guy

4 panel comic

Panel 1: a wizard in blue robe and white beard sitting with small forg at a desk behind the computer. “Click, click” is the sound of the mouse to be heard
Panel 2: close up on the computer screen. There’s a green check mark and a full loading bar on it. From off screen someone, probably the wizard, says “boom, there it is”.
Panel 3: forg is left behind alone at his desk. There’s an open door in the background. Forg says “thanks installation wizard” and a little pink heart appears, showing his affection.
Panel 4: we see now that the wizard has already left the house after a job well done. He replies to forg watching him go from his window: “it’s what I do”

when i quit my corporate job, i lost a multigenerational social space (ie, the office, events). joining a local ceramics studio has filled a need of mine where i can make things and be with people of all ages and backgrounds. i recommend finding this if you feel lost and lonely among a sea of people

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about. This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.
