Hard choice but this one always tickles me.
I miss my doofus.

"Experience of Uniface 10 at least"

And indeed, at most, shirty recruiter who thinks 70-100USD p/hour on a 12mo contract is an appealing proposition to me.

Pulp art ipa and some npmx stickers including one that says “human first”.

Meetup time!

There's a special place in hell for people who make web forms that don't allow pasting in password fields, and who validate input before the user has completed the form.

Then I shall bide my time........ 😻

Doesn't that just splash milk everywhere?

Cereal in yoghurt is the way.

So I shouldn't buy the one on UK Amazon, and I should wait, instead...... (even though it says Delivery October 2026...)
