"Officers, you have 2 hours. On your mark, get set, BAKE!"

Oops. I stumbled into a temporal paradox for a moment, there.

In case of lack of sarcasm - The EMH is played by Robert Picardo.

legitimately had someone try to argue to me that Kermit the Frog was more intimidating than King Shark.

They probably owed him money. I feel bad for them. I would not want to be indebted to that ruthless aquatic muppet.

Seems like enough cash on hand to somehow get away with murder.

Good point. And it's even less on discount Thursdays.

I mean, I bet it does work as effective birth control. No offense meant to Picard, of course.

I would put this to the test and report back, but I'm too busy watching the surprise kids I had.

On a related note, I am able to report that a photograph of Levar Burton standing watch will not prevent having children.

Same here. I daresay my phone is now finally again as nice as in the early days of smart phones.

This is article has some solid advice from a manager with 3 years in the trenches. It's always good to have more voices sharing the their experience for others facing similar decisions.

Yeah. Or they're separate changelings, but they all had the same "disguise 101" changeling professor, who was, of course, played by Jeffrey Combs. There's hope that Lower Decks could make one of these theories into canon.

So accurate it almost merits a spoiler tag. Lol.

Cool build. Thanks for sharing it!

Here's some I consider cozy:

• Asimov's R. Daniel Olivaw Trilogy starting with "The Caves of Steel" is downright cozy.
• Nathan Lowell's "Quarter Share" and the other "Tales from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper".

And if you like to listen to books, "Quarter Share" is available as a podcast: https://chartable.com/podcasts/quarter-share/episodes

Edit: It varies by book, but many chapters of "The Vorkosigan Saga" are downright cozy.

Indeed! I would say "The Martian" also fits.

I heard they tried to fit node_packages, but the scale caused the sun to become too small to see.

Sweet! I'm going to find myself a weekend project to use this with.

If anything 20% is on the high side, for experts working in difficult (profitable) domains.

When we pointy-haired-bosses are doing our job right, producing new code is a much lower priority in the software engineer's day, behind understanding and maintaining the important code that is critical to the objectives of the organization.

Yeah. As a manager of developers, I don't want my team to spend their time producing code.. I want them to spend their time solving problems.

Great summary. The only thing I would add is that when we say "Answer Why?" we're implicitly inlcuding "WTF?!". It's the one version of "what" that's usually worth the window line space it costs. - Usually with a link to the unsolved upstream bug report at the heart of the mess.

Great points. I'm a huge advocate for adding comments liberally, and then treating them as a code smell after.

During my team's code reviews, anything that gets a comment invariably raises a "could we improve this so the comment isn't need?" conversation.

Our solution is often an added test, because the comment was there to warn future developers not to make the same mistake we did.

Ship it!

I'm also thankful for how humble you are.
