That they all go back home and do a podcast about how the left wing and Democrats are the real enemy but they're definitely not Nazis though.

I deleted Twitter as soon as Space Karen took over.

However, my friends and so many people I follow on other platforms still link their Twitter profiles. For some there needs to be something solid to make a real and consistent migration. I was overly hopeful that Threads (yes, another evil) would have buried Twitter.

Yeah I didn't understand passkeys. I'm like why is my browser asking to store them? What if I'm using another browser? Why is my password manager fighting with my browser on where to store this passkey?

I felt so uneasy.

So I decided not to use passkeys for now until I understood what's going on.

I mean everyone's favorite game Stardew Valley is a Harvest Moon rip-off. Gotta shit or get off the pot Nintendo.

Open and shameless corruption. Can't believe she's in any way involved.

Just do a while loop and subtract 2 if it's positive or plus 2 is it's negative until it reaches 1 or 0 and that's how you know, easy! /s

This isn't necessarily a Trump thing. The Republicans passed around tire gauges that said "Obama's foreign policy". This was after a townhall where someone asked Obama what an individual can do to help with dependency on oil. Obama said that making sure your tires are inflated to the recommended level can save on wasted gas.

Goddamned children.

Rogan is a misinformation gateway that primes people for the bigger scam down the line, whilst washing it's hands of any responsibility.

It's a psychological phenomenon called "the Joe Rogan Experience". Seriously, as an avid former listener, it's basically that. We can debate whether or not be doesn't it maliciously or not but this is actually what's happening.

I'm waiting for a Legal Eagle breakdown or something. I've been thinking the exact same thing. Sneakily removing stuff from their TOS in GitHub a while back is dodgy.

I mean if you look at the Fox News/Dominion case ... Fox viewers should know they've been lied to and manipulated. It's crazy how little they care.

I like TDD in theory and I spent so many years trying to get it perfect. I remember going to a conference where someone was teaching TDD while writing tic tac toe. Unsurprisingly, he didn't finish in time.

The thing that I hate is people conflating TDD with testing or unit testing. They're vastly different things. Also, I hate mocks. I spent so long learning all the test doubles to pass interviews: what's the difference between a spy, fake, stub, mock, etc. Also doing it with dependency injection and all that. I much prefer having an in-memory database than mock what a database does. Last company I worked at, I saw people write tests for what would happen if the API returned a 404 and they wrote code that would handle it and all that. In practice, our HTTP library would throw an exception not return with a statusCode of 404. Kinda funny.

You obviously can't always get replacements for things and you'll need to mock and I get that. I just prefer to not use them if I can.

Also, TDD advocates love saying, you're just not doing it well or you just don't know enough.

I get it, you love TDD and it works for you and more power to you.

I definitely believe in testing and having resilient tests that will minimize changes upon refactoring, but TDD doesn't work for me for most of the work I do. It works for some and I love it when it does, but yeah .... sorry random long ramble.
