EntirelyUnlovable

“Hypefocusing” = “Yes I can hear you and yes I should be doing something else right now BUT - counterpoint - look how cool this!”

Looks like “Value for Money” - ie how much you get vs how much you paid

“I used to work in IT you know” often gets followed by “what’s a browser tab?”

Don’t forget the heater

Darn

This looks like Go, so I think this would be a 2d array (or slice as Go calls it) of bytes, with starting length 0. Go has an optional 3rd parameter for capacity

What does the “until February 13th” bit mean? That after that date they’ll go back to overworking if nothing has changed?

I am absolutely down for a fish ranking

Theseus’ Game

First of, sorry about your collarbone, that sucks

Second, I think if you’re looking for something to disappear into I really recommend Baldurs Gate 3, I’ve seen it recommend here already but just wanted to second that, it’s a really fantastic world to live in for a bit

Kids today just don’t know real code

Oh hell yeah

Do you remember what you needed to do for it to work?

Whenever I feel like this I think back to how many of those “simple” bugs I’ve had to fix in my own code and how many years it took off my life expectancy and feel a little connection with the poor developer who is probably currently losing their hair over this too

Otherwise there’s Norway they’ll be done in time

Totally agree, 2nd face but I think straighten the eyebrows so he doesn’t look mad
