Really surprised the Rails default is still Coffeescript.
Disappointed that the new ScanSnap 64-bit software doesn’t support my S1300. It is a 7 year old scanner, but it’s sad that perfectly good hardware is now a brick. Not buying another Fujitsu.
Thirteen years since it was released and Why’s Poignant Guide is still the best programming book I’ve ever read.
“Look Daddy! It comes apart!” Holds up now broken thing.
Dark Reader is so much more impressive than I would have thought.

When using my bank’s website, nothing makes me feel more secure than when I see “cgi-bin” in the URL.
I’m sorry sir, but our engineers have been in the lab nights and weekends for the last month. We’ve tried everything. 81% is simply the best we can do.

Me: “Do you know what they’re building?” Two-year-old: “THEY’RE BUILDING A CONE!”

Two-year-old: “No.”
The older I get the more dedicated I feel to starting from evidence and facts. Honest evidence doesn’t have political leanings. Outcomes can be political, but we should start with agreement about what is and move to what ought to be.
