  2. I missed celebrating my practice’s birthday last month because it was peak season, but I was just reflecting on this week and about how making workplaces people want to do their best work in is just never, ever going to get old.

  3. Hi, my name is Michel, and I (reluctantly) use #LLM

    Since I'm about to announce the existence of some tools I wrote to help with some workflows in the Linux distribution space, I figure it's only fair if I first write about why I ended up (having to) use LLM.

  4. I have not got round to blogging for a few months, so of course I did not have my #NewYearResolutions written up and published (but hey #Nowruz is still a few weeks away!) - but one #NewYearResolution that will definitely be on that list is - I will definitely reprioritize my community involvement to favour those where I can discuss things without being ambushed by hearing about #AI_slop over and over again

    For #DayJob, realistically it's hard to avoid AI mandates, but for community contributions... hmm...

  9. Could AI program my programming? Maybe. But could it complain so bitterly about the solution that has to be implemented? I think not.

  14. It's wild to try to train someone to do your job and realize that, at the base, you are really trying to teach them how to think.

    Also like don't tell anyone but I like helping with training the newbies because it makes it clear to me how far I've come. When I started this job I was barely past WRITE !, "HELLO CRUEL WORLD." Now I'm a pretty seasoned programmer.

  19. My one planned meeting today, actually, was a really lovely one, in which my colleague and I talked about many lofty things, down-to-earth things, and agreed we should go on a walk together soon to talk about all things.

  20. Project architect: ...and the terminology project, which Em has been taking point on, has been very successful—

    Me: (to myself) hang on, was I leading that? (Long pause) I guess I did all the analysis and development. Huh. Nice.

    I gotta pay attention in meetings more.

  23. Working on an old project that uses TinyMCE for writing product descriptions. Most of the descriptions consist of paragraphs and lists, so I'm thinking I'll drop TinyMCE in favour of using Markdown. Been testing league/html-to-markdown and it seems to be working fine for this use case.

  24. Don your lab coats — it's time to experiment 🧪👩🏼‍🔬🤯

    My first blog post as a developer experience engineer at LaunchDarkly is now LIVE!

    In it, I cover how to make the most of experimentation within LaunchDarkly.

  29. Opened up a 1954 copy of "Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Guide to Etiquette" to find this.

    I guess everyone needs a day job.

  30. Well, after the pernicious tediositiousness of #DayJob I went ahead and registered with:

    listen.spacescience.org

    ...to help out the #HARP project with some Citizen #Science analysis of magnetospheric perturbations. #Burble #Swoop #Audio #Analysis #Space #Audification

  31. I'd like to get a lot more regular in my #bassGuitar practicing.

    I'm sort of fitting it around the edges of my life at the moment, doing it ONLY when there's nothing else requiring my time, and that's not going to cut it if I really want to get to a place where I'm more adept.

    And I want that.

    It's not going to be easy. #caregiving #debt #dayJob #sideGig #etc

  32. That feeling when the automated HR system says you haven’t checked off the on boarding training, so you have to watch a video about a product you helped develop and launch.

  33. Too many meetings, if I hear the phrase “in terms of” one more time… #Grumpy #DayJob #ManagementSpeak I’d much prefer plain English to fleshing out sentences with meaningless fluff

  34. Picked up some tasks on a #dotnet project in my #DayJob and I'm really #triggered by the way someone has set it up. I really dislike some of the #fxcop rules and #editorconfig settings that are being enforced. My #resharper is going ballistic. I'm fighting the urge to change all the settings to follow the dotnet style guidlines. #MustNotRefactor

  35. 3 Good Things, Monday!

    1. My art open house (drop in by appointment) is going well! Have sold a few pieces so far (all Reiki-infused and inspired), and more appointments scheduled prior to December 24th. In the photo I've attached, you'll see one of my paintings in the background behind all the text of the book cover for my new novel (see number 2 below). :-)

    2. I am on track for publishing my second novel (Otter Coast, a medical marijuana mystery!) on the Winter Solstice. A funny day perhaps in light of the timing with holiday sales (it is not in time for people to order paper copies for Christmas and have them arrive, but e-books will be in time); it feels right, so I'm going for it. Also, as you'll see from the photo of the book cover design in progress, we have lots of Lorem Ipsum text to be replaced. I love Lorem Ipsum text, makes me feel like clean dishes, clean sheets, new opportunities. :-)

    3. I'm getting closer to solving some work-related architecture and engineering design challenges which are always intriguing to me. Although I can't talk about work-work, I can say that in novel number 1 (The Erenwine Agenda---a love story that centers on fracking---which I am ALSO reissuing on the Solstice, in my given name, Maia Chowdhury) and in novel number 2, there is lots of workplace drama of the highest caliber! 🙂

    Now, back to said Day Job. 🙂

  36. Another day, another dollar. I'd 100% rather be working at home but management is incompetent and has a culture of ignoring what employees say they actually want. But still, thankful for the freedom to work on other things in the office. Can't imagine being stuck here with nothing to do AND no internet access. Got my SDF poster up, not sure if anyone will join from it though.
