My tolerance for people who call me from noisy locations while being on speaker has disappeared.

My dad has been retired for all of 6 days. Today, for the first time in my life, he called me "just to talk" and thanked me for helping him get to retirement. Dear Reader, it has been A JOURNEY. I am now bouncing between 🥹 that he called and 😐😑😐🫤 that he called.

My dad: "I'm okay being alone." Also my dad: *non-stop talking to anyone who comes within 2m of him and makes eye contact.*

"I figured it was you who changed the numbers because they are Arabic numbers." "No, Dad, I didn't change your phone's lock screen, and yes, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are Arabic numbers." "🤨" *shows me his phone* "Those are Malayalam numbers." "What?" "South India." "So it was you." "😑"

Him: "I like nigiri." Them: "Yeah, I like rice." Me: "Me gusta arroz." Him: "Me gusta riiiiizzzzzz. ... Too much?

Him: "Does that make sense?" Me: "No." Him: 😐 Me: 😶 Him: "Well, you did tell me you're not a Yes Man." Me: "Indeed I did."

Personally, I think it's the moment he went up to dance on her and *looked back* to make sure she was okay with it first. Not even from a sexual consent point of view, although that's part of it, but that's a performer knowing the comfort of the other people on the stage matter too--

It does not matter how fast you can code. What matters is how well your code serves you and the people you wrote it for. The amount of revenue it makes. The amount of maintenance that it costs. Old code is profitable code. That’s what you want.
