I couldn’t help but notice this is volume 4. Where and what are the other volumes out of mad curiosity?

Quite the opposite. My higher ups enjoy their manual admin work as it’s the only peaceful part of their day. They do joke about making me do it, but when I insist they allow me to so I can improve and automate it they are quite quick to silently go back to their office XD

well, it runs and accounts for every erroneous potential I can think of…but I see there is clearly much more work to be done. Thank you for the new set of challenges

we are very close to a perfect mario speedrun, aren’t we? could be any day now

I’ve always wanted to contrib to the floss world, but I don’t understand how one gets skilled enough to push good code…

Never

Well put. This was exactly the answer I was needing to get going after a few ideas I have for a blog-like thing.

I know there’s already too much content on the Web, but it’s still something I’d like to try and hopefully begin failing better at. Gracias!

I did apply to jobs for a good while, but I’m overly invested with my current employer since I’ve already been here for 10+ years. Not to mention AI has wreaked serious havoc on the hiring sector of things

I’m somewhat confused by your comment. I automated my tasks because I got tired of typos and having to remember the processes of things. if I just fully script the process, I don’t have to remember or do anything XD

Is this your way of saying you work more or less than 40? lol

I already know how to code, but sysadmin stuff does sound fun, thx

ahh, I should get back into learning german/japanese. Thank you for this reminder

what is professional development?

I agree with almost all of this, but I think factoring in the imminent catastrophes we know are coming (and actively doing nothing about) will make a sizeable balance of this ‘better off vast majority’ of today.

The heaps of plastic tell a different story and define ‘getting better’ in a daunting light for those just now being born
