Same here. I was a “super Christian” for years…literally felt “called” to plant a church, become a missionary, the whole nine yards. Had intense “religious experiences”. Also…the longer I was in it, the more I felt miserable and my mental health went sideways. Hmm… 🤔
This is exactly it. I was “the best evangelical”. Did it all, believed it all, was the goodie-two-shoes legalistic rule-following “super Christian”. It’s just t...

Weeeird…the latest February 2022 release of VSCode just totally stopped working with remote SSH connections to other macOS hosts. I manually downloaded the previous January release and it’s fine. Anyone else experience this?
Today I have very little patience with folks, trying not to show it. I'm a month out from taking my Series 65 exam and find myself annoyed at anyone that asks a favor from me.

I have achieved semantic satiation on the word "wheel" alarmingly quickly
The truth is that I give a lot of fucks. In fact I have a surplus of fucks

One of the "hardest problems in computer science" is naming things. That's why it's so important to spend lots of time defining terms, concepts, and boundaries in your software *before* you sit down to write a line of code. Naming becomes easier when you already have a roadmap.
A paratrooper spider invasion wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card, but sure.
An invasive species of spider the size of a child's hand is expected to “colonize” the entire East Coast this spring by parachuting down from the sky, researchers ann...
