    lol … yeah the first three were pure action to me … I mean, unless you count putting that woman to hold the wheel to keep the gate open which then kills her a puzzle too …

    But also: Why does Odin sound like he’s from New York?

    lol I mean there’s no arguing that, but I fucking love that actor … but I definitely can’t counter what you said 🤣








  • He’s very popular, written several books and spoken at many events. Most notably he’s written Clean Code and the follow up I never bothered reading and he’s a die hard advocate of TDD and also one of the authors of the Agile Manifesto. I met him a few times after his talks.

    I generally “like” Uncle Bob or Robert C Martin insofar as he advocated for better software design and had some good ideas and all that. I personally hate TDD but when you talk to him and stuff, he’s more flexible and nuanced than he can come across. The problem is when he comes up with (or runs into) a new “philosophy” he becomes evangelical about it and it seems like he doesn’t have as much nuance. Sadly though, growing up with his fans in the software industry has been a pain because they’d hear something from him or Fowler or Beck or whoever and then try to reshape the codebase like typical Magpie Developers.

    I think Alex Horne from Taskmaster was surprised at how many people criticized his teeth. He does have bad teeth though 😛

    I don’t like defending Americans too much especially when they’re absolute snowflakes when we take shots back but they also make fun of other Americans with bad teeth. Mainly if you’re from the South or Alabama or some state.




  • Yup. I haven’t touched .NET in forever … like it’s been 7 years or so but I was there for the 1.0 days. I remember running stuff to code gen db tables to objects and NHibernate and Entity Framework and all that jazz.

    I was just like, “wait, why am I writing all of this if it’s just a projection”. Then the Active Record pattern felt limiting when scaling my application. I think after we discovered Dapper… we just stuck with that. It’s a micro-ORM where we write SQL and it maps into C# objects and it just simplified when hydration happens and how. (not sure how much its changed or if it’s even active now, but it was amazing)


  • I always just force myself to do it by dumping it on my bed so I can’t sleep until I did it.

    Then I remember having a few drinks and staying up late and then looking at my bed so angry with myself … I did fold them all and put them away so I was kinda proud I did it but I was upset the entire time lol.

    I hate the word “woke” in general after it deviated from it’s intended cause (not by the ones that coined it of course).

    However the right wing is very smart is disguising certain things that they pretend to champion and mask it as if they’re doing people a favour. A big part of “woke” (even though they can’t put it into words) is corporate pandering. Which I don’t think the left cares for too much… but that can be stretched to mean anything to be fair. The thing is that some people can THINK they mean: shoving representation to only sell tickets but it can also fit under as hating minorities because they’re taking over. It all fits into the same umbrella.

    In any case, black people were in ancient Greece just as there were black cowboys. World was more diverse than some think.
