Ναι οκ. Το ακούω. Αλλά σκέψου και τη φάση να ψήσεις ενα 7χρονο και ένα 9χρονο να σε βοηθήσουν κατηγοριοποιήσεις βάση χρώματος και σχήματος πρώτου παίξεις (με το) παιχνίδι (τους) 💪🏻😆. Optimal fun

Κομπιουτεράς εδώ, προφανώς εννοείς «δεν διαβάζουμε το μανουαλ … μόνο, αλλά επίσης ομαδοποιούμε και μετράμε όλα τα parts πρώτου ξεκινήσουμε» σωστά; Ε; 😅

Dear Whatsapp desktop app engineers: You _probably_ have a memory leak. Like a big one. I'm talking Kaiju-level big here. _uninstalls Whatsapp desktop_

Στα πλαίσια του πόσο non-politically correct γινόμεθα σιγά-σιγά, δηλώνω δημόσια χαρούμενος που βρήκα στην Ευρώπη να αγοράσω το πιο ΑΝΤΡΟΥΛΕ σαπούνι που υπάρχει. Smells like Naval Diplomacy 💪🏻 Στα "specs" του προϊόντος αναφέρει: - Never Tested on Animals. Just Bad Interns - Not For Clowns®

The most manly soap available in the planet.

<ai_slop_warning>I'm sorry but this is too good not to feed into Nano Banana with a cheeky quote. </ai_slo_warning>

A chaotic, dimly lit server room where version control nightmares come to life. Looming on the right is "MORGE," a terrifying, furry, horned monster with sharp teeth and a maniacal grin. He wears a makeshift cardboard chest plate reading "MORGE" and a pageant-style sash declaring him "GIT MERGE MASTER." MORGE joyfully wields a massive, ridiculously large orange stamp labeled "FORCE MERGE" in one hand, while resting his heavy, clawed hand intimidatingly on the shoulder of his victim.

Seated at a retro desktop computer is a terrified, exhausted human programmer cowering under MORGE's grip. The programmer wears a tattered, hole-filled t-shirt that says "Main Branch"—looking completely battered by terrible code integrations. His green-text CRT monitor displays a "COMMIT HISTORY" log. On the wall behind them, a warning sign reads "BEWARE OF MORGE! HE MERGES WITHOUT MERCY." The scene humorously depicts the terrifying reality of a rogue developer brutally forcing unreviewed commits into the fragile main codebase, leaving the weak Main Branch completely helpless.

Pause στο 1:24 και τσεκάρουμε τον (οχι και τόσο κρυμμένο) φόβο στις φάτσες των 14χρονων οταν τους δινει "συμβουλές" ο στρατιωτικός ... 😢

ωραιο challenge επίσης να δοκιμάσεις ποσο την "παλευει" το οποιοδήποτε AI. Το Perplexity (το έκανα GBP και δοκιμάσα απο 1900 εως σήμερα) σε βγάζει στα.... 1.23 _quintillion_ pounds 🤑

I see your "here's how I code from a plane" posts and I raise you two (Greek) colleagues discussing 4G vs satelitte net access when commuting to a (Greek) island for the weekend: Stable SSH connection to the cloud VM - for the duration of the trip - is the litmus test here 😁

Pro tip for tech teams: Create a #yelling channel on your Slack / Teams/ Whatever space. Rules: - Anything you post must be in CAPITALS - Answers (in lowercase) allowed only in-thread It's amazingly therapeutic.

... And of course I asked chatGPT to see if it could write a couple of lines of a theatrical dialog about this:

[Scene: A modest kitchen in 1500s England. A man, Sir Geoffrey, stands in dismay before an empty pantry shelf. His wife, Lady Margaret, enters, wiping her hands on her apron.]

Sir Geoffrey: "Good wife, dost thou see this grievous void? Our taramasalata pot, gone! By my troth, how shall I suffer a morn without the briny balm for mine toast?"

Lady Margaret: "Forsooth, husband, thou art as melodramatic as a bard with a stubbed toe. 'Tis but fish and salt! Mayhap thou shalt survive on naught but bread and patience, like the rest of God's creatures."

Sir Geoffrey: "Bread and patience! Thou art heartless, woman! ‘Tis a condiment most sacred, ordained by the heavens to grace our humble crusts!"

You now have a lot of good karma. You can now go to your local supermarket, buy some stuff, put them in a trolley, put them in your car and then proceed to leave the trolley _as far away from the place where trolleys should be returned to as possible_ ...
