These also apply to French dads, remarkably. Being a dad is international 🌍✌️🕊️

Depressingly so

6.8 L per year? Per month? Ffs

Nuclear mushroom perhaps?

I didn’t read the article, and thought the price hike was caused by the situation in Ukraine. I apologize.

I don’t think any European leader is celebrating Putin’s war of aggression, not even Orban or Fico.

Not just you, bud. We’ve seen the science confirm that the supposed productivity increases are a mirage.

Han… It’s pretty hard to guess! Could be anything really!

Fascism is colonialism turned inward*

What a bizarre thing to gloat about.

I am ChatGPT and I approve this!

Maybe a dogwhistle to tell his racist base to hang in there?

What about this is graphic? I’m confused.

As soon as I stopped trying to write textbook OOP stuff, this stopped occurring to me. That was years ago.

I’m not saying I write perfect code, no. But when I read bad stuff I wrote, I can understand it and think of ideas about how to improve it if that becomes necessary.

On top of writing more functional-style code, the way I achieved this was:

• Absolutely no inheritance whatsoever. Composition + interfaces work wonders for what I do.
• Minimal mutable state. This pays dividends when debugging.
• Ditto for type-system-encoded nullability markers (ie. ? in C#, std::optional in C++…)
• I avoid writing code just-in-case something happens. If I haven’t run it manually or via unit tests, it goes to the garbage bin (not an absolute, just a guiding principle). There’s a chance that code isn’t even correct to begin with and you’ll have to throw it away should you ever need it.
• Low indirection. I don’t want to jump through 10 functions to see what something is doing, and nobody else does either.

YUGE*

There’s a few weird bullet points in there (the fact that it tells you you shouldn’t be happy to be where you’re at being one 🙄), but, all in all, I wouldn’t call qualify this as “LinkedIn lunacy” for once.

You have no business leading a team if you say things like “this is not my job” on the regular and deflect responsibility and lack direction more generally.

Hero*

Nazi. I think they were going for Nazi. Nazi.

Isn’t that an Atlantic Canada thing? I know Quebec has them, and I’m pretty sure we weren’t the only ones in Canada with bagged milk.

You aren’t! 👌
