For work I use a laptop

I deleted my account so I can’t post anymore but I sometimes go there for the occasional answer.

Sure!

“The hard way is the easy way” has always rung true because when you take short cuts you end up making more work for yourself. Maybe the thing didn’t fit because you didn’t take the time to measure it properly, or you didn’t calibrate the machine. Or you made assumptions that turned out untrue because you didn’t take the time to fully research them or whatever.

Do the work up front, or it increases exponentially. I literally despise this quote. Growing up I hated when my dad quoted it at me. And I’m a little disgusted with myself for agreeing with him now haha. But it’s so true.

“Documentation is the name of the game”: My dad was a union president for the board of Ed in my town growing up. He had to deal with a lot of he-said-she-said cases. But whoever can prove what they’re saying with proper, timestamped documentation always wins the case.

Unironically this. I’m always itching for Vim keybinds now. I have a plugin for Firefox and DBeaver. I even got Vim keybinds and modals in my terminal lol nothing is safe.

My dad always said

The hard way IS the easy way

And

Documentation is the name of the game

Over and over these have both proven 100% true in every situation.

No movie really scared me when I was a kid. But my brother watched the original The Day The Earth Stood Still and screamed bloody murder when the robot or whatever came out lmao.

Easy. Don’t get your news from social media.

Get your news from Reuters or The AP or something. Come to social media to discuss the news but step 0 is go somewhere else.

Fuck Apple

AOL keywords for me

I use Vim at work every single day and couldn’t live without it. It’s incredibly powerful. Released in the 70s but is still very much in development.

Just deleted my Reddit account. It’s Ok so far but having trouble finding communities. That’s just an early adopter problem I bet though.

I feel like I may like it more once Boost for Lemmy is a thing.

I’m excited to be part of the fediverse though.
