  • I’d be extremely surprised to see $12 eggs anywhere, at least not as the cheapest option. To be honest, it sounds like you don’t actually buy groceries very much if you think that. As of last week at my local supermarket, eggs are $2.50-$5.00 for a dozen, depending if you opt for the organic options or not.

    But yeah, this just reads as a flimsy justification for bad habits. Cooking is quite simply cheaper and always has been. It is not difficult to make filling meals for $1-3 a person (staples like rice and beans are especially cost effective), which is far, far cheaper than ordering takeout from anywhere.

    Groceries absolutely have gotten more expensive and it is a problem, but there’s no world in which that problem is improved by ordering Doordash or the like all the time.




  • This argument doesn’t really hold up, honestly. That is all easily done with shell scripting, and shell scripts can be committed to source control and shared to other members of the team easily. This is what my team does for our common API needs. It even has ecosystem support in many places, such as popular openapi renderers providing curl command examples for routes automatically, being able to copy the exact request made by a web browser as a curl command from the network tab automatically, and so on.

    I use curl for absolutely everything, including testing out my work for each and every ticket I work on. Been doing this for years now. It works great and has many, many advantages over property bullshit like Postman.





  • No, countries should not go around invading other countries to effect regime change, regardless of how evil the leadership of that country may be. Change must necessarily come from the people, not foreign interests acting first and foremost for themselves. Time and time again toppling regimes has been the justification used to engage in wanton death and destruction, all the while being a pretense for something else. Just no. It needs to fucking stop.



  • Definitely not for me. That might be the case on a day here or there (say, if one of my kids has a longer doctor’s appointment), but usually I’m working 7-9 hours in a day. I do tend to work a slightly under 40 hours a week, though.

    I honestly just wouldn’t be able to get all of my assigned work done in time if I only worked that much, as nice as it might be.
