Except the fact that opening up new pizza place have a huge upfront cost. Your pizza may need to be pricier too. You thought people are flocking to your new pizza place, but the reality is that most people just want to not get hungry, and will rather chomp down pineapple pizza while being surveiled, than spending more for non-pineapple pizza.

Look, I love making a analogies. Just that they have scale, and competing against it is hard.

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.

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.

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.

Product focused (plans, documentation, snippets) notes for team, people focused (1-on-1, performance review, birthday) notes for personal.

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.

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.

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.

It's not a website anymore. It's a web app.

Might be related: I recently joined a company using Flutter web and notices similar stuff. Yes, the software engineers are wondering: "Why do we reimplement browser stuff?" But the business ask for it and we don't hear complaints from the end user.

Why Tcl? 3 years ago

I used to think POSIX shell scripts are the best. But ever since deno support npm packages directly, running `deno run url-to-scripts` seems really good now. You get readability, types, and library ecosystem.
