Today I cleaned two of my keyboards with cloth and cleaning fluid.

Now I never wanna touch my fingers again. Ever.

Quite literally today: "please estimate in t-shirt sizes. And here's the sizing chat" [the sizing chart shows times x complexity]

Their S was extending all the way to my XL. I think it may have been normalised to a mythological standard team of nondescript size.

T-shirt sizing in Agile must've been invented by men.
Otherwise it would've been more intuitive why people can't agree on any sizes in wild and weirdly ways

I think there's plenty of evidence that men are regularly unable to deal with their own emotions and hormones.
I also regularly see women who had to learn this from very early on to regulate people around them and have gotten really good.
We should restrict men from leadership positions unless they can demonstrate that they have caught up

Bye Jensen Huang. Enjoy you're newfound private life. You're obscenely rich anyway.
And good riddance, I hope to never hear from you again.

For the rest of us: the ride is still only starting. Buckle in.

(BTW, good luck trying to influence how I code or to get me to cut any dangerous corners. Numerous project leads of various kind couldn't manage that either. And if I ever were to intentionally deploy a backdoor, quite a lot else would've gone entirely wrong way before.)

I guess one thing we could learn from this might be: CEOs have too much power to wield without any real oversight.

I probably have to face more scrutiny at work and I don't even have any power to decide anything beyond the code I produce.

Possibly also a bit too kinky for the typical cis-het person out there. You'd have to dial that in quite well first.

Besides suffering from that same problem (not noticing if someone is flirting with me), I'm also safe from honeypottting because I don't have any excessive power, no secrets worth a damn, living openly non-monogamous, no problematic bigotry and I don't care what y'all think about my sex life. So many people can't even grasp my gender.

Oops, nearly forgot to release the hotel booking for 40C3.

2 of the 3 seem to be adapted copies of the third. Can't figure out right now which is which of them. But I'm gonna triple-check this tomorrow and then deal with them with a blowtorch.

What do you call dead code that never was alive?

An exception, caught, handled, tested, handled again, rethrown and handled again. But never thrown in the first place. At least three instances of this pattern.

How much (mis)comprehension and maintenance time went into this over the years?

Rediscovering Cat Stevens and in real time going through why I had removed the songs a long while ago

Oh my god. So many dead codes

And yes, I know Tom Scott's amazing rant-explanation about timezones from 13 years ago. "Because that way lies madness" and all.

He only touched the surface. Presumably for reasons of self-preservation. I occasionally had to venture beyond. Unfortunately, there is no sanity on the other side of utter madness.

Be careful when I mention I might go on a rant about timezones. That is meant as a warning and only one is given.

Stop agreeing with me when I'm shitposting. At least leave a sardonic reply!

My self care app says: listen to music before bed.

But when I tick that off, it's congratulation sound cuts off the music.
