I'm at the "How did this test ever pass in the first place?" stage of debugging.

Dreading catching up on the 1.5k missed messages in the chat I haven't read in a couple of weeks 💀

Don't tell anyone but I'm starting to appreciate JSDoc type checking. Especially seeing other projects that don't use it and have weird errors all over the place as a result.

Sauron was 54,000 years old when he forged the One Ring. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

Poll only for #Blind/LowVision users who rely on #AltText. Is AltText generated with an LLM actually “better than nothing” as some argue? Please comment if you’re Blind or Low Vision, and please boost to get a good sample.

18. This "neural band" is neat. It can be programmed to recognise hand gestures and output keyboard events. Could be a good companion for my twiddler so I can type with my left and navigate with my right. mudra-band.com/pages/mudra-lin

The lack of functional discovery features on Mastodon is so nice. One of the worst experiences on Bluesky is making a post and then 18 hours later completely random people start Discovering it. And they're almost never happy to see it, nor do they remotely understand the intent or context. Make a post for your friends on Bluesky and wake up the next morning to a bunch of messages from mystery people along the lines of "why did you post this??". And I just want to know well why did you read it??

*something* is opening a file descriptor after test close but there's a huge mess of code where it might be happening. 🙃

Getting treatment for ADHD is a special kind of torture because the more you need it the harder it is to start the process.

There should be a term like "sapiosexual" but for freaks and weirdos. 💜

I have been blessed with more Goat Simulator 3 DLC 🥰💜

Had to add an extra parameter to almost every unit test because the storage mechanism changed for this dependency upgrade. Now it seems some core function is busted and most of the tests are failing. 😭

This new kind of "search correction" is like some kind of horrible forced normie filter for life.

You must mean whatever is more popular. And not "did you mean?" either... just not even bothering to show you the results for what you wanted to search for in the first place.

It's really insulting.

Back to work tomorrow. Re-enabled all my social media timers to reduce my screen time in preparation of spending most of my day at my computer. 😅

Thinking back to when I acidentally deleted a client's entire notion database and had to write a script to manually restore every item because I couldn't just undo the one action. 💀

As expected, the Qualcomm enshittification of @arduino has begun. Expressif's ESP32 stuff has already been a better platform for some time... I guess I'll have to learn the ESP-IDF ecosystem now instead of the Arduino IDE.
