i find really amusing how dramatic "i cannot for the life of me" sounds.

lately i have this feeling that when someone requests a code-review at work, it's only to get a "yeah, that's a PR", no useful response what-so-ever.

This question arose while watching The Goonies, when Data corrects Mikey's mother [0] about his nickname.
So thanks SDFers (and Fedi) for the replies :-)

Also, this movie is a bit more grim than I remembered (I mean, it starts with a guy who "hanged" himself in prision).

sometimes i wonder where do some devs find the time to have a full time job, a (demanding) side project, to have hobbies, to be with family and friends (some even have kids, wtf), and get some (decent) sleep.

This next Sunday there are presidential election (1st round, at least) and half of my timeline asks to not vote and the other half is joking around some half-baked bots created by the current gov.

not sure what's worse.

in 2021 Johnny Mnemonic had (?) 80gb of storage (or 320 after the operation) in his brain.
