Covid vaccines are no longer easily available around us. We drove 30 minutes to get the jab. We used to walk down the street to get them at the pharmacy near us. 🤦🏾‍♀️

With AI doing a lot now, why don't we move to a 4-day work week? Before AI, there was already research showing the benefits of the 4-day work week. With AI, those benefits should be even more amplified.

As you practice for interviews, don't forget to time yourself. How long does it take you to answer the open questions like "tell me about yourself" or "why are you interested in this role?" and similar questions?

Off by one error: when you're a beta reader for a book so your book tracking app won't have it in its database.

I finished a pen. Please clap. Also, open for recommendations for your favorite pen that has a nice grip and writes smoothly.

The drinks here are so much better than the US

Duolingo suggesting to use the same word that I had already used in a sentence. It says, "Use hablemos instead of hablemos for the subjunctive"

Sometimes Duolingo hallucinates. I had to get my glasses to make sure I was reading this correctly.

I'm getting to work with a new-to-me colleague, and I'm so excited 😊

Well, that's new.

Redesigning a plane mid-air is fun. Ok, fine, it's not a plane. It's a data intensive system, but still...

Image of Henry Bemis from The Twilight Zone episode Time Enough to Last where he's happily reading a book with many other books stacked behind him.

When I first watched this episode, I predicted the ending. My husband was surprised and asked how I predicted it. I said that as a reader and wearer of glasses, this would be my worst nightmare.

When you do a recorded TOI session and the transcript is all you. 🫣 Also, AI assistant nailed the summary! 🤩

There's a fear of palindromes. The name for it is aibohphobia, which in itself is a palindrome. Whoever coined that term is both clever and evil. 😀

At what point does AI turn into Cylons

The alcohol section at this grocery store beats the ABC store and the wine section at any grocery store I've been to in the US so far.

That feeling when you get a couple of hours of uninterrupted time and you finish some code stuff from end to end. 🤩

This automation is missing an if condition.

Apollo 13, the movie, was released over 30 years ago. 😳

The best ice cream does not exi....

I agree. Mine would be "future of retirement" or "future of resting and reading".

That feeling when the library book you have on hold becomes available the same day you finished the book you're reading. Perfect timing 📚🤩

I started a light conversation with my husband over dinner and ended up discussing Kubernetes operators.

Was reviewing someone's resume and comparing their original with what AI suggested. The AI version was total slop and greatly diluted their experience. Do with that what you will.

The thing about my bookclub is I go in having read a book and leave with 5 more added to my TBR list. 📚

I love my bookclub and the people in it. 🥰

That moment when you start your day with a lot of meetings on your calendar and end up with a mostly empty calendar for the day. Happy Friday!

Unfortunately, a lot of people going back to the office seem to have forgotten office etiquette.

Finished reading the book for my book club. It was a productive weekend 😎

Picture of backgammon.

That was intense.

That moment when you're wondering why your KVM switch isn't working and not switching you to the other laptop only to realize the other laptop isn't even in the room. TGIF.
