In theory I've been on vacation all week. In practice, I had 5 HVAC installers running around my house and every room disorganized so they could do their work. They finished yesterday and now I'm hiding under a blanket.

@wez@social.treehouse.systems @cliffle@hachyderm.io this largely matches my experiences as well. What I see most is that the same folks who get something working and try to ship it without cleaning it up for review are the ones who don't review the LLM output either. Overall I see code reviewers being overwhelmed with more time consuming reviews which doesn't seem to have a great solution
"what if we do X, it would have these benefits"
"Already do over here and it does"
The new job learning process
I have ideas for 3 new projects. They are being added to the list of in progress projects that only grows.
Good morning San Francisco
Feeling imposter syndrome _hard_ with my new job. So much to learn.
Mostly setup my new desk. Dual monitors was a bit too wide for the previous one. Now to find a 1U audio amp and a mixer that does everything I want.
Wondered if San Francisco had changed in the six years I've been away. It really hasn't.

@c64whiz 86box is your best bet for that era

@tnt@chaos.social that would require cataloging the new FPGA acquisitions first
I really need to move the TotalControl chassis off my workbench. But that involves digging through the pile of rack rails until I find a pair that can hold it. So it may be a while longer.

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space that's how the list got started
Finally got the water pump attached to the new EJ25 shortblock. Why am I bothering to post about such a trivial task? Because I initially reused the bolts from the old block. Turns out they had been over torqued and stretched such that they would thread in almost all the way and _then_ rip out threads even with a torque wrench set to 12 N-m (basically hand tight). By the time I figured this out, I had installed Time-Serts in 4 of the holes and broken 3 of those. Good thing Big-Serts exist to give a third chance.
Hey all. My partner is trying to get top surgery. They feel awkward asking for help without giving back so, after their recovery, they will be offering pro-bono (free) therapy sessions (they're a licensed therapist in WA) for underserved folks, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Kinda want to build a Gotek out of XC4000s.

I'm at a friend's wedding. It's at a vintage travel trailer resort. The trailers look a little rough on the outside but have been well maintained on the inside. Very fun and quirky place.
