The big lebowski almost requires rewatching. It just gets funnier and funnier every time, there are so many little details and quotable lines. “Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man.”

Thematically, you can watch the film through different lenses. I remember reading an article about the religious undertones - the dude as Buddha, Walter as Yahweh etc. Makes Jesus as a weird little pervert even funnier.

Regardless of the technical definition of media-within-media, it’s rad!

It ain’t what it ain’t?

What was the strategy?

Badass! Thanks!

This guy (Tim) did it from kittenhood, so he doesn’t mind at all. Our last cat (Dharma) took a bit of convincing, and trying different styles of harness.

Cat, cup of coffee. Sometimes phone if I remember.

Yeah holy shit! I hope this is a made up example. A six month sprint where you change literally everything about your UI? No wonder customers are upset!

This guy has scurvy ☝️

Pro tip, if this happens to you split your tickets up into smaller chunks! It has two effects:

One is that you will see progress from one sprint to the next, even if it’s 1 story point at a time.

It also has a psychological effect! If you’re like me you will avoid the huge, nebulous tasks. But if it’s something manageable with a defined start and end, you will do it. You could probably even schedule it.

No way! Am I cool again?

Yeah for sure. You summed up 90% of my job. The rest of it is the parts people don’t like - making people update Jira tickets, etc.

I wanted to make that joke 😟

Biden, the guy who’s been president for four years? You can’t tell who he is as a person?

Web 2.0 oasis

The corollary is - I’m surprised how many programmers are opposed to documenting what they’re doing?

This is a good comment, I think. Authoritarianism is defeated with democracy, not economic systems.

I would have picked Intimacy for largely the same reasons!

Is there a reason why life HAS to evolve on an earth like planet? I guess it’s the most likely given our experience, but could life happen on Venus or something?
