Yup, I messed it up. I edited my post to be the correct way around.

Hemingway used to say "Write drunk, edit sober." I've modernized that a bit for my own personal philosophy:

Code drunk. Debug drunk. Merge drunk.

This way when I walk in I can find an open urinal between two people, pull my pants down to my ankles, put my arms around each of them and piss without touching my dick at all.

The trade-off of losing online features when emulating Nintendo games has never really felt that bad mostly because Nintendo's online capabilities have always been total ass.

OpenSUSE gives out cute little chameleon plushies and if that's wrong I don't want to be right.

Everyone on the fediverse is Nicole and you can't prove otherwise.

I never update my spell book and nothing bad has ever happened.

Help. Infernal imps somehow got inside my sanctum and used my scrying orb to send rude messages to the rest of the Circle.

Normally I could do this ritual with a single symbol but there is no support for primordial glyphs in this arcane framework unless you rewrite the whole thing in Elder Speech.

I have gotten a couple meetings to be something we 'skip by default' where we keep it on the calendar but someone only starts the meeting if they actually need something.

Dramatically cut down on meetings without any problems so far. Now it's just occasional and way shorter because we get straight to business and then drop the call.

RAID is still no replacement for a backup. Single drives are fine as long as you have automated backups and can handle the interruption when someone goes wrong.

At the tail end of my last job I was saddled with a massive project to migrate a client to a new version of an application. We did this by standing up the new version, copying over their current data, asking them to test it and then cutting over when they were ready. This was a huge undertaking because most clients had one or two environments but my client had 18 different environments so the workload was way higher and everything took way longer.

On top of the scope they also took updates to these environments almost every night which meant it was a full time job just to keep things in sync, setup a testing window and then try to get them to approve the new state of things.

I was already burnt out before this all started, but thanklessly maintaining 18 non-production environments by myself for an application that no one could commit to testing or cutting over was driving me insane. I felt such a weight lifted off my shoulders when I quit. It came at the end of months of stress and wasted effort. I couldn't imagine a reality where anyone else would put up with that work or have a better chance of success.

Anyway I caught up with some coworkers and asked if that project ever got done. Apparently it got passed to a small team of three to manage and after getting jerked around for months themselves the whole thing fell apart.

So glad I didn't waste any more energy on that shit.
