Do two people on a tandem bike count as 1 or 2 cyclists?

Woah! 10 years!.... can't wait to catch up. I am still trundling along through... {checks notes}...2018 😝

I don't enjoy many comedy movies, but as a long time Minecraft player, I really enjoyed the Minecraft movie. So many relatable moments from playing the game 🤣

The news cycle has been so choked up with other stuff that I almost missed this entirely!

"the snow should be the main reason for the snow this morning". Well done Google weather AI

I am at the point where I am going to build my own API to wrap the useless API provided by the otherwise glorious shopping list app that is Bring.

If you're in the PNW, take care with this wind storm. It is no joke. Stay safe everyone.

Awesome thread explaining how decentralized moderation is taking shape on Bluesky. Really innovative!

Actually got some code done today. Also, if you develop in #java, use Sonarlint.

I legitimately used git branch -f today and it slightly scared me....

One of the developer skills I have come to value most is meticulously testing all your changes. No matter how simple or benign the change might seem.

No one has a longer to-do list than a preschooler whose parents are trying to get everyone out the door!

Pure nightmare fuel

I really need to make time to learn Rust

Disney Speedstorm works really well on the Steam Deck :) 🏁

Everyone else found that 2.4GHz wifi has just become so degraded it is at the point of useless? I used to reserve my 5GHz network for high priority devices only but find myself moving everything over to it just so that stuff works for more than 5min!

Most software engineers were re-levelled as E5 (Senior engineer) as part of the recent changes. Some got E6 (Staff). Very few got E4 (Engineer 2) and E7 (Principal) was the rarest levels of all. Lots of tenured software engineers left Netflix during the past few months, as the re-levelling project moved ahead. In many cases, the reason for leaving was they were not happy with how they were to be levelled as E5 in the new levelling system, and not the higher level they felt was appropriate.

It was just over a year ago that Netflix introduced levels for software engineers - after 25 years of only having one level: senior software engineer.

Here are details on what happened, and why the company likely made this change: blog.pragmaticengineer.com/netflix-levels/

That looks awful 😞

Java 21 out a few days back - lots of interesting features.

Is the sky always clearer on the other side of the universe?
