Do you use "emdash" because you love to use it but don't want to be mistaken as AI-generated?


haha, yeah, just a little cheeky human humor.


It won't gonna change how people (mostly management) see the name. I've seen whole empire named after Pokemon, only for another round of restructure that will change teams name to another Pokemon.

While talking to friends at other empire:

> I've been digging around, who are the members of Ludicolo?

> Oh, we've renamed to Felbat.


“Manager, no, you don’t get it. We can’t just name it ‘Felbat’. Pikachu evolves into Raichu, not Felbat. Even then, Pikachu don’t really want to evolve”


Very fun and interesting article. I'm currently working in enterprise for around 3 years. I sure am growing technically, but I feel like I learn more about people, communications and bureaucracy here. That comment about budget and mouse is also on track, but with financial stability that working in $ENTERPRISE brings, I can just buy the mouse myself. Maybe some empire will question me regarding the unauthorized mouse, but I can just... ignore... um, talk myself out of the fake urgencies of mouse authorization.


s/mouse/COL yearly raise

If you prefer. Millions wasted on projects going nowhere fast, it no budget for even keeping up with inflation for salaries.


It's because freedom and correctness is hard. Yeah, most people prefer convenience and would rather someone be the source of authority to do it for them, but people on fediverse are not those kind of people.

I use `insteadOf` instead of ssh alias because my workplace use GitLab orgs. So instead of typing the full URL like:

  git clone gitlab.com/acme-corp/project-name
I could use:

  git clone work:project-name
But this kinda broke `includeIf` since it store the `insteadOf` remote url directly. I then had to convert existing repositories to use the `insteadOf` url.

I wrote a little bit about it here: https://bentinata.com/log/git-insteadof-includeif


I think it's a matter of hygiene and speed. Sure I could butcher a chicken, maybe have a shot at a bigger animal like a goat or cow. I've seen it multiple times since I live in a country that regularly do animal sacrifice. But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do it as clean or as fast as the usual butcher.

It does feel different from market-bought meat though, at least for me.


If someone is unable to kill an animal, should they eat the animal? It is another matter to ask everyone to raise their own livestock.


Yeah of course it makes sense for people to specialize. My point is more regarding people like my friend, for whom “killing animals” and “eating meat” are completely different things.

If I wouldn’t kill a chicken because you would feel bad, then I shouldn’t be able to eat chicken without feeling bad. If I’m able to do that, it’s because a big food production system has falsely separated those concepts in my head. Kind of similar to the accountability sinks in the linked post

Hi. I'm Ben. Been looking to work on environment projects, and/or project that is using rust. Something that can either make a positive impact for a lot of people (too naive, I know), or something that hone my technical skill. But since I'm a parent now, my primary focus been stability. I have accepted the fact that dream job is called dream job for a reason.


Even though the methods is simple, the way the author visualizing it is really neat.


As someone who haven't been using Python extensively since college, and mostly use TypeScript and Kotlin at work (and little bit of Rust for hobby projects), that's a lot of typing features. It feels like for the past few years typing been getting more attention. Good to see.

I used to hate TypeScript (circa 2016) because it kept bugging me with typing errors, and I used to sprinkle "any" to shut it up.
