  • Small code changes can have a HUGE effect on performance. After trying an eleven line thought bubble, my test suite went from completing in 11.6 seconds to completing in 0.6 hours. Good work, Wilson. Five stars. Would thought bubble again.

  • A ticket I’ve been working on is the watership down of rabbit holes. While working on it, I’ve created about half a dozen tickets that are blockers. I’m very glad for stand ups at the moment because they remind me I’m making progress even if they feel like dead-ends.

  • Why is Melania dressed as a Dalek? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-26/donald-trump-sets-up-office-in-florida-impeachment/13092204

  • I can’t decide what I like more, people asking why something isn’t covered by the mainstream media and linking to a big four news site or linking to something called carowner-hoxe that habitually refers to the CCP virus.

  • Conclusion: people are the worst.

  • Slightly tempted to work today and spend tomorrow’s 41C in the SE7EN sloth pose.

  • Professional PHP 6, First Edition

  • Biden and the one-world government will never tell you this, but the real reason the new whitehouse.gov uses WordPress is to celebrate 50,000 commits.

  • Everyone: he’s gone!

    Nerds: check out the UDS comment in the new whitehouse.gov’s source code. Oh, and he’s gone!

  • Only 9 more hours!
