If you successfully did a Christmas card mail merge you are 10x
Replying to @shanselman
(everyone is a "real" programmer. Even that one excel macro you did that one time, or that christmas card mail merge, or the time you setup your thermostat? I'm counting that also.)

New pic I'd hoped to update that blurry pic of me playing a gig in 2009 similar to how @KrauseFx keeps his image updated. Same pose, new year. But I'm not gigging during COVID and I don't really play pedal steel anymore So here you go, a basic front head shot

90% of my job as a senior engineer is giving others the confidence to go with the less-impressive-but-simpler approach.

So I’ve been wearing this mask for the past 2 weeks My wife ordered a set of masks with various patterns. Some had birds, others flowers. Nothing remotely edgy. But of them she didn’t like so I’ve been wearing it

Vet Tech: is your mask from The Shining? Me: …not intentionally? (I haven’t seen The Shining in 10 years) (the next day) Target Return Lady: is that mask the pattern from the Overlook Hotel? Me: 😬 😬 😬

Creating content for devs (even paid) is not nearly as lucrative as you think Anyone with the skills to write a book could make more $$$ writing actual software They’re taking a pay cut because they enjoy educating you. Don’t be shy about kicking them some $$$
Just saw someone offering to share my Combine book for free. In a Slack community where I’m an admin 🤦‍♂️ don’t do that stuff folks, support independent authors and buy their work. Can’t afford it? Reach out. Most of us aren’t horrible about discounts for those that need them.

I used to avoid buying dev content as a point of pride. Because I could learn the stuff on my own. That was dumb. Practical Combine saved me hours of learning time. If you’re a pro dev buying time is of the best uses for $35 I can think of

I was shopping at @WedgeAndLHCoop when I heard a song that sounded very similar to a tune I wrote (and recorded) in 2007. Same chord progression and a similar hook in the melody.

So I checked the source of the original sample whosampled.com/sample/1163/R… Syl Johnson - Could I Be Falling In Love open.spotify.com/track/0SlBj… A cool tune for anyone who digs Al Green. But still no melody anything like I wrote. 

My melody stand as original. Whew 😌

Now, I’m not about to go all Tom Petty over this. Western music has 12 notes and we mostly use like 5 of them. Similarities happen and should be expected. Nothing is truly original. But if Adele somehow makes it a smash hit I want a cut 😛
