I don’t miss corporate travel per se, I just miss being out in the world

If you've never flipped your compiler the double bird for throwing multiple screens of errors, you're not a real programmer.

Not quite. The Swat ponytail took four years to cultivate. I only had 13 months for this look.

What was the first moment you became aware that this was your career path? What do know now that you wish you knew before making that choice? What delights you and you only discovered it now that you are in the field?

Awesome...I really was wondering if something was significant with that pattern... and figured if it laid flat or otherwise it would act as a target for remote observation.

The reason experts haven't implemented the "super obvious" solution to the "very simple problem" in the subject area you are not an expert in is perhaps because (and hear me out): The problem really isn't simple The solution really isn't obvious The experts actually understand it

Serious productivity boost for reading code on GitHub. 1️⃣. Go to any repo you are interested in on GitHub. 2️⃣. Replace "github" with "github1s" (one + s) in the browser address bar. 3️⃣. Enjoy browsing code like you would in VS Code. This is huge 🔥

Network asset baseline, tracking, management/inventory, including patch management. Huge, hairy, intractable problem for most orgs. Often done piecemeal and badly.
