Wardriving intensifies

After being forced to use Azure DevOps instead of JIRA… I wish I had JIRA back…

 Release

No one messes with release for the “final” merge?

After that… Main.

TBC was peak WoW for me.

Especially with it taking 'half a day" I’d assume talking to 3-5 people. Recruiter, manager, knowledge checker, possible peer, etc.

The state of the job market is such bullshit. It’s one thing to go through this if you’re a final choice but often times you’re still just in the running. Wasting half a day with an on site trip to just get passed over is such bullshit…

But that’s the rats race. Welcome to the game.

Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze: A tender cut of beef, seared and served with a reduction of balsamic vinegar for a deeply savory and slightly sweet finish

E second

I haven’t started with home automation yet.

How’s product availability for thread bulbs and motion sensors? Expensive? Works with HA?

As a parent I’d externally be ashamed and blame brainrot.
Internally I’d be absolutely dying at the scene.
On the drive home I’d take it as an opportunity to teach the child about target audience.

Its actually a good chance to teach about right place and time. Some people don’t know you can’t teach coworkers as “buddies” because then HR gets involved.

Idk about kids singing HYCYBH…

I could imagine them using it on a teacher in class.

Teacher: “… Where is my board eraser”
Child: “HYCYBH?”
Teacher: Calls parents.

Perception Check is my favorite but wow so many f bombs.

I’m currently shopping for a window fan with dual fans.

90% of them are digital with a remote.

I want an analog one with knobs damnit!!

As fun as it is to shit on Microsoft I like thier approach to AI.

It doesn’t replace staff. It helps them work more efficiently like having a personal assistant. Putting knowledge in thier hands to bridge gaps.

One example I saw was using AI to generate a Python script in context to make a chart with future predictions using a simple prompt and input. So instead of bothering your developer to write your basic Python you use AI for this tiny basic bit.

Me: Prints text document in black and white
Printer: REPLACE YELLOW CARTRIDGE
Me: Cancel. Goes to printer settings. Set BLACK ONLY. Print again.
Printer: REPLACE YELLOW CARTRIDGE
Me: Throws printer in the trash. Picks up 10 year old laser printer for $50.
Printer: Auto installs. Prints from original cartridge.

I used to do house calls a decade ago for IT work. Often customers offered me beverages.

Had a European who worked at the UN for decades make me tea. Blew my socks off. I’ve never enjoyed tea, but it seems like we just don’t know how to make it!

… The next month I was offered tea by a American. I wasn’t expecting it being made by a pro, but let him try.

He put “hot” tap water into a cup and tossed a teabag in.
I fake drank it.

I use distilled water for espresso and tea… Thankfully I started because of my electric kettle and espresso machine. Keeping the machines cleaner.

Never microwaved distilled water.

I picked up one last month. Organic. Hated it…

Sounds like you need to start a company and per diem staff.
