Transplant from Texas now living in the SF Bay area. Overall lurker, but I find 2-3 articles a year where I feel like responding.

I do a little bit of many languages in the backend, but I love my C#, but I don't disparage my roots of PHP, Perl, Shell scripts, etc. especially since they currently keep the bills paid. I also collected some of the trading cards for Lua, Python, x86 Assembler, F# and such, but never got into them that far.

If you've got something going on, I'm generally open to hearing about it.

If someone wants to play with hexagons in C#, or just criticize my code, checkout:

Yeah... No.

I can get some useful results from codex at work, because I have to, except for when I don't. I accept that risk factor and compensate by reviewing _everything_ it spits out.

But we all know what coding is, in a very broad stroke manner, sure.

What does an end of month report mean? I automatically increase the font size when I send the spreadsheet to Paul. I review tickets and provide a meta write-up on Friday. Or maybe Monday, because Fred didn't get back to me until 5:30 Friday, and I closed my laptop at 4.

These are just little things, and they're repetitive, but each time, there's some little idiosyncracy. I have reservations regarding any piece of software being able to finesse that.

If Claude ends up grabbing my C# TOML library, in my defense, I wrote it when the TOML format first came out over a dozen years ago, and never did anything more with it Sorry.

Not unexpected, but it looks the oldest kid, Ingress, is being ignored again. IIRC, there was some badge you could earn by doing a number of those scans.

Or is Ingress even still around?

It'll get cleared up.

I've got big monitors, that I hook up to my work laptop and my own laptop. I make it work with a kvm hub. It's really sweet, for my use.

I keep a browser, an IDE, and a terminal pretty much side by side on the bottom one. I keep slack, email, and a clock on the top monitor. I also place pullout tabs from my IDEs on the top one.

Thing is, no matter the cost range, I generally have to replace the KVM hub about once a year. I've just come to accept that as a part replacement cost. <shrug> This thing has its own KVM hub internally. Maybe I'm just rough on my KVM, but if someone puts significant wear and tear on this monitor, I'd imagine that part would wear out, which seems like a potential money sink if you have to keep calling the warranty folks.

For me, it's too much of a risk, but YMMV.

It's ridiculous that this has to be done.

I'm honestly speechless. But thanks for the magnet link.

I agree with never deploying a .git folder to prod.

Part of our deployment script for sites has something like:

  git clone -d 1 -b $BRANCH https://blahblah.tld/project
  rm -rf .git*
So no .git directory, .gitignore, and so on.

I've not had that kind of experience in over 30 years. I'm a bit older now, and I would hope that my response would be something similar to:

Me: "Am I under arrest?"

No: "I would like my attorney present before starting this discussion. Please provide me some contact information so we can schedule this."

Yes: "I wish to have my attorney present. I will not be answering any questions or discussing this matter."

Now, I don't know if I'm actually that brave, but I've at least got a plan.
