When you're removing 1960s wood paneling from 1920s plaster walls it's a great time to multitask and use a hair mask.
Last year's edition of FaceTAV (testing and verification) in London was great, and it's hosted again as a free symposium. Chaired by the illustrious Mark Harman, with a fantastic speaker list. Tony Hoare! And brilliant colleagues Nadia, Satish, Peter! research.fb.com/blog/2019/10…
I had an opportunity to meet my fellow panelists last week, and they're awesome people with a wealth of industry experience. If you're interested in hanging out and hearing from us, you can use this link for a discount: sgodelphixcareerpanel.eventb…

I switched to a CS major over 2 years into my undergrad. (Programming was more fun than ChemE to me.) I decided then the OS class was more interesting than the S/W engineering class. Now I'm reading history of S/W eng, e.g. homepages.cs.ncl.ac.uk/brian… and Margaret Hamilton.
The feeling when a word you've used infrequently didn't have the *exact* definition you thought it had all these years. Yet, happily, saying "I'm a (implied social) gadfly" wasn't entirely incorrect in all contexts I've ever used it in.

Moving some code from Hack into Python today. (Turning frontend code into an API, and no, don't ask.) Just had a moment of thinking damn, this was marginally better in Hack. Send help, I've been assimilated.
I've given up on "Inbox Zero". My new goal is "Outstanding Code-Reviews Zero". And even that's hard most days.
I can be much more efficient at accidentally breaking computers/systems with a CLI, but somehow I'm much more consistent at doing so with at GUI/BUI. Is this a generational problem, the fact that I'm comfortable with CLI (and hence break things less), or am I just cursed?

Proposed axiom: length of a prepared talk about any sufficiently non-trivial subject is inversely correlated with preparation time.
Especially if slides (read: diagrams/visualizations) are required.
Jury duty today. Lots of sitting around, so catching up on work threads. So far, I've quoted ISO 8601. Sorry, co-workers. Someone nearby stinks of cigarette smoke so I'm getting a headache and wifi doesn't work yet.
