If you trust the output is correct and anticipate never needing to use the tool again, I guess? I write code that needs to work hundreds of thousands of times over many years and be updated frequently. I have to know how every line of it works.

A coworker’s autocorrect appears to have hit the sauce again, they are obviously trying to type “cli” (for Command Line Interface) and it’s repeatedly being corrected to “chili”, which on reflection is not even close to the worst case scenario here. #LifeInTheCodeMines
My job is writing accounting software and database integration software, and managing operation of production systems of that software.
I am grateful for my engineering education because, somehow, I've wandered into a situation where differential equations are now relevant. #LifeInTheCodeMines
Jinkx, a young black cat, looks over the back of a computer monitor.

We try to refrain from using the word “just“ in any of our software planning meetings
It’s such a trap

Write readable code, not clever code.
Both is good. But choose readable over clever, every time, when you have to choose.

4. Q: What things will you post here?
A: I'll post about TTRPGs, about #LifeInTheCodeMines, about the increasingly mislabeled #JinkxTheKitten. I posted a lot about left-leaning politics, which I'm trying to redirect into "Here are good things we can do to make life a bit easier for our friends."
Look, vendor, I get it. People are human, stuff gets overlooked. I've been there. We can roll with it for a few hours.
But it's been more than 2 days now, and it shouldn't take that long to fix a simple expired license.

How much are we paying you?

We could build this internally, you know

Wish I could knock off early today, but it's my turn for frontline user support today, so here we are.
Not a serious complaint, this is a minor thing in a good job. But hitting the gym early then a beer and a movie sounds really nice...

I love using rest APIs but when an API you don't control has technical issues your stuff breaks and your customers don't care whose fault it is, they just see your stuff not working, and that's entirely reasonable. #LifeInTheCodeMines
Just spent the morning tracking down a dependency change deep in a Node web app. I swear to the gods if you turned a printer, with all its paper-mangling and "your magenta is low so I can't print this b/w document" nonsense into a programming language it would be Node/Javascript #LifeInTheCodeMines
The era of only using one app at a time is long past, Teams #LifeInTheCodeMines
