The only thing that comes to mind is: any time someone drops something, I tell them, “oh, you can just put that anywhere.”

I don’t know where I got it from, but it annoys my kids.

I’m a very good engineer, but so much of my time is consumed fighting with Tekton pipelines and migrating testing frameworks and versions I barely have time to write code. But that’s because I can figure that stuff out when I have to. All the code is written by the people who can’t figure that stuff out.

Why this isn’t two separate jobs I can’t understand. Let me do some stuff I’m good at rather than constantly fighting with things I’m not?

Also no character growth for Andor while also complaining that he kills a guy in cold blood but then doesn’t kill Galen later under orders. And then breaks orders again because he put his faith in Jyn and not the Rebels.

Rogue One is a good movie and I don’t care about production issues. It made the Empire far more menacing than even the OT did. Peak Vader. Peak Death Star. Even peak Stormtroopers.

If you want the former, I’ll say Arcane. They poured money into that and it shows. They will never be able to count money made by that, though it was great word of mouth and I’m sure increased sales. But they spent like a half-billion dollars on that with no hope of any return. But damn that was a hell of a series.

Moana is all about the musical performances. I love the whole movie but what is on the screen just kinda punctuates and gives context to the music for me. Frozen is the same way. And they’re thinking they are going to remake all that music and have it be just as good?

It would be like trying to remake The Blues Brothers with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham just because the original is 40 years old.

Neither of those movies were really all that terrible. I enjoyed John Carter. But clearly they didn’t connect with audiences.

And yet… it’s my favorite post-OT movie. It could’ve used another draft to tighten a couple things up here and there, but it was good.

Now… TRoS is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen in my life and is the only Star Wars property I’ve only seen a single time and never will watch again. Hell I watched Book of Boba Fett twice. Shit, I’ve watched In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale twice. I’d have to go back to Battlefield Earth to think of an equally terrible film.

But when watching The Last Jedi I feel nothing but joy.

You can what? You mean I can put down this bread knife and just have my house built for me? I think I’ll keep my sense of pride and accomplishment, sucker…

Why do these sorts of people think, “we can’t stay in business if we’re not allowed to <description of abuse >,” means they should be allowed to abuse instead of put out of business? Does it really never occur to them that they should be supplanted by better alternatives?

Their heads are so far up their own asses they forget ‘if’ offers two solutions.

I wonder if they vibe coded it?

I had to research that phrase for a bit to make sure there are no racial connotations because… yeah.

I was 3 when I attended my parents’ wedding. I guess I should note not my dad and birth mom.

I met my birth mom many years later. She stressed how she and my dad were briefly married when I was born, so I wasn’t a bastard, and that she gave birth in FL, not MI — the only home I remembered — so I wasn’t a damn Yankee. Like she did me some kindness in both those cases.

That was the attitude that led me to be quite happy with my circumstances — acting like I was in her debt over things I had no care over. So yeah, I attended the wedding of my dad and the only woman I’ll ever call mom.

Jalapeños. I like them on everything from nachos to burgers, but I vastly prefer fresh to pickled.

Sauerkraut. Only on a Reuben.

I’m sure we could find more candidates for prefixes and suffixes. Any term of art is going to take time and promotion to adopt, though. I doubt any will sing clearly to everyone without context.

I need to know the success rate of human agents in Mumbai (or some other outsourcing capital) for comparison.

I absolutely think this is not a good fit for AI, but I feel like the presumption is a human would get it right nearly all of the time, and I’m just not confident that’s the case.

You son of a bitch, I’m in!

Nah, I came here to make this comment and you already have it well in hand. It’s not really any different other than the marketing spin, though. Companies have always had bad code and hired specialists to sort it out. And over half of the specialists suck, too, and so the merry-go-round spins.

I’ve had that exact reaction many times at BDSM events. (Technically, that first comma needs to move one word to the left.)

I spell most words just fine, but swipe implies some level of autocorrect, anyway. With physical keyboards of course not.

Swipe is really bad on iPhone. I remember some frustration at times on Android but on iPhone it’s infuriating. I use it anyway.
