100% agree. Had 2 guys in my org that were from the Air Force and they are the definition of calm whenever something bad happens and everyone thinks the sky is falling
Replying to @Nexuist
Just as an aside every vet in tech I’ve worked with has kicked absolute ass and if you have any say in hiring you should give them a chance. Has got to be a breath of fresh air compared to newly minted 20 somethings that try to get away with 4 hours a week (I’m not much better)

This is so painfully accurate 🫠
you either get a job by talking to one person on the phone for 10 minutes or doing 8 interviews with 14 people and two different edit tests.

improve your technical skills and you can discover new, exciting ways in which to be mad at the computer, ways to be furious at the machine that laymen couldn't even comprehend.

Saw this in a code review today “Ugh... I should remove these TODOs. TODID or TOWON'T. There is no TODO.” Already made my day

Updated my work battle station with a great external DAC and switched to lossless audio when listening to music and boy I wished I did this a lot earlier. All the frequencies!

Updated my work battle station with an external DAC to boot and switched to lossless audio. Boy, that was a world of a difference in sound.

Navigating "corporate speak" isn't easy. Here's a helpful guide I put together: "Let me check with my team" = No "Possibly" = No "On my roadmap" = Not happening "This will be done in Q4" = This will be done in Q2 next year "Disagree and commit" = I hate you "Per my last email" = Try reading, for once in your life "Challenging landscape" = We're going out of business, quickly "Digital transformation" = We're going out of business, slowly "Let's circle back" = We'll never speak of this again "Take it offline" = We'll never speak of this again "30,000 foot view" = I don't know what I'm saying "Low hanging fruit" = Easy promotion "Open up the kimono" = HR violation "We use AI" = We don't use AI "We use machine learning" = We don't use machine learning "All hands on deck" = Let's actually try for once, please

What’s inside Apple’s $129 Thunderbolt cable? We CT scanned one to find out, and compared it to some cheaper cables… 🧵

Just found out about Keanu Reeve’s band and they dropped an album after over 20 years since the last one and boy does it still have late 90s/early 00s vibe

Saw a couple of guys in their 70s(?) devoured a bottle of white wine, Mac and cheese, and a large serving of crab like it was nothing. These guys are badass and I hope I’ll be like them when I’m 70+ 😂 – at Seattle, WA
