Mundane observational details

So most dishwasher pods are wrapped with PVA plastic. And there’s controversy around them bc while they do technically biodegrade, it’s under specific circumstances that require week long timelines. (Ie municipalities just process water within hours)

Honestly… the thing that helps me make time for important things like workout or like visit friends and family, etc is just realizing… I will always be busy. 😂

Where Costco’s supply chain quality checking shines can be seen in watermelons. I’ve never gotten a shitty watermelon at Costco. Qfc (Kroger brand), it’s 50/50 on whether the watermelon is rubbery or not. And it’s like 1.29$ A POUND rn. So that’s 12$ for a teeny shitty watermelon 😡

I’m ruined. I genuinely cant wfh anymore. It’s like severance’s innie vs outtie. I feel like now my brain is like, oh you’re on this train (elevator). Turn on work mode. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I really would understand if people started adding fable budget into their engineer employment contracts. Like even in open source… it’s starting to be a battle of who: 1. Has the best models 2. Thorough about challenging and validating LLM claims 3. Can pair down the output to be human parsable

God I love interacting with LLMs to ask it questions about code I’m reviewing. Like I’ll still obviously do a manual pass. But it’s so nice to just ask it questions about how it interacts with other pieces of code for an initial reaction / trace before I doublecheck. 🙏

I don’t know who needs to hear this. But… Hot yoga is a gimmick. Or anything where they crank up the temperature. You don’t burn more calories. And bc you perceive it to be more difficult, you also don’t hit the max performance and thus improvement you’d otherwise hit at a normal cooler temp.

These shredded 75 year old women on my Instagram reels are goalzzzzz I don’t think it’s right but my inbody scan said I gained a pound of muscle in a week. Even if it’s not right, trending in right direction 🫡

I’m confused why they call the Apple max 2 orange color orange. Like orange gives… Halloween. It’s a much cuter coral peachy pink color ✨

So I just upgraded from Sony mx3 to AirPod max 2… Damn sound technology is crazy. Everything is so quiet. Also fully trapped in the all Apple ecosystem now 😂

I feel like a lot of success at work is… rules are a recommendation 😂 And constantly assessing… ok but if I broke the rule who’s actually gonna yell at me and do I care… 😂😂😂 I feel bad for my manager hahahaah (she’s great).

lol. I saw a post where it was something to the effect of: forward deployed engineers are just software engineers who are personable and can be put in front of customers. Bro so true 😂

I wonder where I can source college women in computer science to mentor in a specific way: I want to feed github issues in Kueue to build traction and an open source portfolio. Kueue is a hard project to break into bc people swarm all over the issues. Ideally otherwise resourceful and independent

Gonna spend the weekend figuring out ai flows to give me github issue and pr daily digests via slack of what needs my attention. There’s 2 parts: 1. Digest for what is the most impactful for me to comment on within specific code areas 2. What is blocked bc no one is paying attention to it
