Great tips, we have to keep switching it up too as some techniques lose their effectiveness over time.

One technique that helps me occasionally when I’m really distracted, is to like gamify it. I’ll just keep a piece of paper and add a check in the margin every time I get distracted but brought myself back on task, or like a “special” checkmark when I was just starting to get distracted but caught it before getting all the way distracted!

Anyway yeah whatever tricks you can do. I’m big on tactility and making marks on paper so my tricks/tools/systems involve a lot of notebooks and highly idiosyncratic symbols and checklist flows (like [~] means kind of done lol)

Omg…

Nah

🫡 I’m going to try pressure my employer to do the same. Like is this thing saving anybody money??

Yeah I was trying to keep the bit going haha

Roffffl you’re pure evil

You mean Valheim?

Wow a little bit of math is a dangerous thing

Sub version tags make sense but for the the love of pie if you’re going to use a number at least separate it from the others, like 1.21-1

I like using the short hash from the latest git commit used to build, to avoid confusion among multiple devs on parallel streams

Minecraft II is called Hytale

See that’s totally logical, but it makes more human sense than computer sense.

We don’t let individuals own nuclear weapons. We shouldn’t allow individuals to wield financial weapons.

What part of this is hot

Eh if the behaviour is changing then I think it’s normal and good that the associated unit tests should also change.

Obviously you can get annoying with unit tests, but if they’re tiny and fast, and trivial to update then I like them as a truth check that the behaviour is changing as I expect.

Yeah the scripted back and forth is not nearly as draining to the social battery. It’s almost like when you’re sitting quietly with someone enjoying three mute presence.

Not quite there, but like farther asking along that spectrum than say a conversation where actual information or promise to act is the goal.

Oh I remember those comics! Didn’t realise that had made it into the movie

Ooo yeah like a curse and at first you think it’s the children’s fault, but then at the halfway point you find out they’re the victims. Would also provide some good tension since it’s the only way for the protag to get more power after the pepper shot removed their ability to make more poffspring.

I mean I was joking in my original comment, but you could tweak it a bit and maybe obscure some of the details to make the story halfway evocative.

Is this Gears of War?

I think so, yes, that feels right. OK, this is powerful… I think I’ve got the hook for my second book
