Oh my god this is the most “could have been an email” meeting I’ve ever been in. You blocked us for a week to tell us in person that you can’t help and we should contact some other person‽

Someone on this flight bought two first class tickets so they wouldn’t have to sit next to anyone. We are not taxing the rich enough.

Nothing quite like discovering at the end of a 3 hour long pipeline test that the changes you were testing weren’t included because you pushed them to the wrong branch

It is currently taking all of my willpower to not curse out the pipeline in my commit message right now for being a temperamental little bitch.

Just a heads up, @lancener.bsky.social and I had a discussion tonight, and have come to an agreement. He is no longer my boyfriend.

There may be nothing more soul crushing than spending hours of work trying to make a well written proposal for why your team needs extra funding, and then being told by your manager she is going to send an AI summary of it to the higher ups.

I love automatic toilets that try to be bidets as well. Especially when, after flushing 4 times while I was sitting there, it didn’t flush when I stood up.

I have my answer. It’s a bad idea. The AI did not actually write a working regex, so I ended up having to figure it out on my own.

I can’t decide if having the AI write the regex for me is a great idea because it might actually know what it’s doing or a terrible idea because there’s no chance of me reading this sorcery and knowing if it’s what I asked for.

Got dragged into the company hackathon for our AI tool as the single SME to answer everyone’s questions because I’ve used the AI before, which makes me more qualified than most of the people in this office.

Quick PSA: After a good amount of thinking, I’ve decided I want to try out a new set of pronouns to see if they fit me better. They and he are still fine, but I’d appreciate it if people tried to use the new pronouns to help me get a feel for them.
