The rules of physics > the rules of the road. The cemetery is full of people who were "right". While I think drivers need to pay more attention, so do walkers. Off crosswalks, not watching the road, wearing all black, etc. This is a shared problem.
An(other) indicator I should probably start thinking seriously about retirement. Some of my colleagues, full time software developers, have never heard of #xkcd.
I'm fine with them not getting my mainstream media references of "my day", but xkcd?!?
Good day 1 (and 1/2) @devnexus.bsky.social today. Good talks, got to reconnect with some ex-colleagues. Was exposed to hilarious LLM generated opera by @kousenit.com. See y'all tomorrow!
Overheard at #DevNexus today.

Banger talk!
Given a *nix `/etc` directory, do you say "et-see" or "ee-tee-see" (or something else)?
How about SQL? "see-quel", "ess-kyoo-ell", "squeal", something else? (Yes, I see you @primeagen)
I saw a post that reminded me of an ex-colleague. I remember he had a habit of using "up arrow" to redo commands. But he would hit up-arrow more times than the # of letters the command was, for almost ANY command.
Time's "People of the Year"'s businesses are based on theft. Quite the look.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork
She's spending too much time trying to look and be Melania.

For funzies, or safety? (Are you afraid of them exploding?)
Nothing makes me skip a video quicker than any instruction to "watch till the end".

As an Atlantian (suburbanite), #welcome!
Pedantic, but at least with "$", the symbol precedes the number. "$0", not "0$".
I wrote a quick presentation today with #emacs, #markdown, and #marp. It is suprisingly ... fun! Never used Marp before, but it's going to be my go-to for preso's going forward.

@kousenit.com I saw a Veritasium video about the Evolution of Cooperation recently - thought you might like it (or add it to your resources). www.youtube.com/watch?v=mScp...
As having just watched this talk, a banger! Scribbling notes furiously. Great one, @kousenit.com! #AJUG
Praise be.
#linux user trying out a new text editor 😅
TIL: when you create a JavaDoc.jar with the JavaDoc command, the resulting jar contains Oracle code licensed under the GPL (even when you don’t use the Oracle #jdk ) I had to cpr legal when they saw it. #Java
Luckily there is #jetbrains dokka command as a drop-in replacement Apache-2.0 licensed
We've had a mandate through that they would like all employees to have used the copilot button in office at least 20 times by year end.
Might be me but a truly useful thing doesn't usually require forcing people to use it 🙄

Just like "WTF's/hour" is a good metric, the "How did this ever work? / week" is one to track from time to time.
Even as an IC there is so much stuff in corporate life that is performative dancing like a monkey in a circus hoping to grab a peanut from the crowd. #NotLookingForwardToToday
And the remnants of Jony Ive.
I can't help feeling a "game-changing" technology that's going to "transform" the way we work wouldn't need to be sneaked into products without the user's consent.
All I see is posts asking "How do I switch this f**king thing off?"
Copilot's the U2 album nobody asked for, except it's not free.
