Looking for books/articles on best practices for integrating #ClaudeCode into existing legacy department, systems and lifecycle. So much firehose, please point me to the good stuff.

I think the Liberty Mutual commercials should be require to say that EVERY insurance company customizes your coverage so you only pay for what you need.

It’s like saying “At Jewel, we let you choose your own groceries so you don’t buy things you don’t want.”

If I didn’t know better, I would say those are headphones.

I love this 1984 ad for a radar detector where the driver is going to cruise past a cop while clearly holding a telephone. Things change in 40 years.

I’m amazed that the Packers let the clock run out in the 4th. They could have gotten one more play off.

And I can’t believe y’all let the clock run at the end of the 4th. Even I was mad at that and I’m rooting for the Bears.

Who else sits in large video conferences secretly hoping someone accidentally goes to the bathroom while forgetting to mute first?

Mr Mainway was ahead of his time.

I saw a clip of an old sitcom with a canned laugh track. That’s what generative AI feels like. Taking something vital & organic and making it hollow & mechanical. Here’s hoping AI’s fate will be the same as laugh tracks. A mocked relic of a time people accepted soulless absurdity for true emotion

There is a link to the word list.

Ten pounds of spuds peeled, only four peels on the floor.

I also took the opportunity to explain to my daughter why you can’t send any sorts of peels down the garbage disposal. The dad gene is strong in me.

Subversion ‘n’ Perl for my day job, but different places have different needs.

Does the company-wide email with the subject “PLEASE READ” mean that we can ignore the other ones?

One! Step! Beyond retirement age!

Absolutely. Just an amazing coincidence.

I have never heard “Gigglesnort” in any other context before your post. Are you from Chicago? Is it just a common thing to say for you?

That’s an amazing thing to say because we were on our way to the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago and not 30 minutes after that exchange we saw these puppets from the local 1970s TV show Gigglesnort Hotel.

I wore my rainbow White Sox hat today. A guy in the train said “I like your hat”. I said “Thanks, is that because you like the Sox, or because you believe all people have value regardless of who they love?” He said “the latter” & woman w/him said “we believe you have value even if you like the Sox.”

Blog posts about tech topics without date stamps are next to useless.

Solid advice no matter what kind of machine you mean.

At the eye doc next to the giant retina photo machine was this note. Tech support is universal.

Can't exceed 99 characters? Sounds like someone's storing the cleartext passwords. :-(

Every time Excel asks me if I’m enjoying it, I give it a one star rating.

Set up ls aliases in my bash startup Set up ls aliases in my bash startup. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

I use eza, an alternative to ls. I also work on macOS and Linux both. So in my bash startup I don't care if I am using eza or ls. I just set up my aliases based on if eza is installed, and which OS I'm running on.

My alias setup is at gist.github.com/petdance/6a5...

The argon truck supports your need to discuss difficult or negative feelings.

Why?

Better yet: Read books!
