I’ll have to explore this.

My computer spontaneously rebooted. It may be time to consider a new system and / or adjust my shader settings.

@rhosyn come on admit it. That would be pretty cool.

@zachleat see there we get into the weeds with the devs’ worth (still a lot because people) and the worth of what they’re creating, which as we all know is hang on I have my first day at a new job next week I better stop digging.

@zachleat thanks! I’m sure it will. It’s with a good team which is the first and last thing I care about.

@tk Just curious: was this a “find out what’s out there” or “find out what people like” question? Because I can recommend some good modpacks if you’re in an exploratory mood.

@tk Is there a style or mix of styles you’re more interested in? Vanilla-ish, engineering, magic, RPG-style mechanics, or (my personal favorite) the kitchen sink? With or without quests?
EDIT: I apologize if you already know the landscape, you just happened to mention this year’s special interest.

She’s trying to rubber duck and despite my best efforts I’m trying to help, but at least I’m looking up terminology to translate SQL jargon to spreadsheet jargon.

Asking primarily backend developers for help with an app is a crap shoot. Even if they directly work on the backend for the app in question.
I don’t, I’m just saying. So many times folks would ask me for some fiddly UX help and I’d be “we have an app?”

Context-free grumbling about the workarounds we make normal people do to successfully use our shitty software, and how they become the norm, and screwups happen anyway because we’ve got our own workarounds to make sure our shitty software even deploys in the first place, and how we manage to be complicit victims because that backlog haunts us, and a company that prioritizes stability is basically doomed in modern capitalism.
This must be Thursday.

@Neblib Thanks! But my day’s going fine. Sometimes I just gotta lean back and look at the long view of the scene I’m playing in.

@maddiefuzz Every day is push to prod if you have more CI/CD than QA!

It’s a very specific to me terminal workflow, but I must say: the combo of #Wezterm + #Nushell + #MicroEditor works pretty darn nice for me across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

mentioned while writing a Perl script to talk to my Electron application’s REST API on Windows, so take this opinion with all the salt you need.

Lightning hitting a few miles away and the thunder’s rattling our windows means I’m in no rush for it to be any closer.

@kroyio oh oh goodness I hope not! I’m in Tucson, where I’ve learned nightly thunderstorms are just part of what they call “monsoon season.”
