As a Minnesotan I like to play this little game with service workers where as the interaction is ending I look them in the eyes and we both say “Have a nice day” at the exact same time. It doesn’t happen that often but it’s very satisfying when it does.

I'll just say it: Donald Trump and JD Vance are creepy and, yes, weird. We are not going back.

You folks must’ve heard about the Amazon fork of ElasticSearch. Maybe I don’t have a sophisticated understanding here, but doesn’t this make it less appealing for folks to build business on open source?

Once a manager makes it clear they don’t value you, believe them. And move on.

@brandon_mn "Ope, Just Gonna Plow Right Past Ya"
Minnesota is currently having a snowplow naming contest where the current leader is "Plowy McPlowface", and almost all the other contenders are equally unfunny names made up by middle aged white mom who think 2006 humor is hip In case you were wondering what it's like living here

Almost everything about the way interviews work is advantageous to the company over the person being interviewed. It is in the company’s best interest to pay you as little as possible. That’s why it happens this way 99.9% of the time.
Why isn’t it common practice to talk salary *before* long interview processes? It wastes everyone’s time if you get to the end and salary is the determining factor.

I have 13 aliases for `git push`. Every time I make a different typo I create a new alias. If only computers would do what you want and not what you tell them.
