I'm planning to uproot my life and move, but I don't feel stress from the explosion of things to do, because of #GTD. I have a long list of things to do. I keep having more ideas. There's on the list. I'll get to them. I won't forget anything important. It'll be fine. #GettingThingsDone

Two weekends. Two tournaments. 40 qualifying games. Zero playoff appearances. Still, for the first time, scoring 10001 for 40 consecutive tournament games, averaging 250.025. Round numbers aren't so important, but a milestone is a milestone. #5pinbowling

"I should add a comment to this task for next year to visit their shitty site in Chrome, because it doesn't work in Firefox." I did that last year and failed to notice the note.

Is there truly nobody struggling with mock objects out there? I asked Claude Code to generate an example of a Java project using mock objects and it generated my Point of Sale teaching example.
Intéressant! Que font mes amis francophones à l'écrit? C'est une reforme qui j'avais entièrement raté. 😉 www.ledevoir.com/culture/9729...
"Should I pull more tickets?" These two answers are clearly wrong: "Yes" and "No". A helpful answer is significant more complicated. We handle these questions are other thorny problems as part of Office Hours. Not free, but excellent. office-hours.jbrains.ca
"Playing Well With Others: An Example" Choosing not to perpetuate LinkedIn as a cesspool of self-proclaimed thought leaders yelling past each other. blog.jbrains.ca/permalink/pl...
Iterations/sprints are dead. Scrum is dead. Agile is dead. Hold on... maybe. blog.jbrains.ca/permalink/wh...
Few things can wake you up quite like downloading accounting information and then seeing a bunch of it disappear. At least, this time, there was a simple explanation for their bug.
