Anyone around here have experience distinguishing between pair programming and an extremely small mob? I don't have a whole lot of experience with either but I've quickly formed a strong preference of one approach over another.

Not only does Elon Musk not have a clue what he’s talking about, but this is *exactly* what he tried to do at PayPal, claiming it needed a full “V2” rewrite of the code when it didn’t.
Instead, it shifted resources away from key areas, caused PayPal to lose much more money to fraud, and eventually got him ousted as CEO.
Last month, I wrote about Elon Musk’s time at PayPal and how he’s repeating his mistakes from that period: https://www.disconnect.blog/p/elon-musk-wants-to-relive-his-start
I've said for years, this game would be immediately improved by taking out all the guns.

@A7medHamdy111 We speak coded incantations that get turned into numbers that get turned into lightening that zaps a small rock and forces it to make decisions and do work. Definitely magic.
Do you think there is a class divide between software engineers who make the software go and systems engineers who make the hardware go? I do.
Just so we're clear: kids under 16 can work there, they just can't eat there.

Book signing is this Saturday at Riverside Art Museum! I’m so proud to have designed this book. https://riversideartmuseum.org/exhibits/the-other-side-of-memory-luis-garza/
So my first big decision: I have defeated renalla so I can go respec and just get on with it, or go farm runes at mohgwyn palace?
Ok, got elden ring working, I'm still in the academy glintstone mines. I remember getting hung up on that war mage, but that's not the terrible part: I absolutely know better and my dumb ass still forgot to level vigor.
So it's been like 8 months since I picked it up (it was a rough year and I still got 60 hours in) but I think I want to go back to playing elden ring. Step one: reinstall elden ring because I haven't opened it for 6 patches and it's just mad at me now.
We should knit him his own sweater, I think.

Ok, so a very cold take I'm sure, but Endless Poetry is Jodorowsky at his most Lynchian, so @MaggieMaeFish is probably also probably partially responsible for my current problem watching this fucking movie.
For no particular reason, I'm watching Endless Poetry, the Jodorowsky autobiography film. So far it's good, but I think @Nyxfears may have ruined Jodorowsky for me.

If they want my DNA they can come and take it!
Like many hwhite people, my family has an almost certainly fictional rumor of a native american ancestor, but my family also has rumors of Jewish ancestors. I'd say they're equally unsubstantiated, but in this case they're a little more specifically Dutch. Anyone else have this?
The real sneak depicted here is in the thread!

@InnerSpaceWolf It wasn't an intentional choice at first, but it got established and kind of stuck. He's mainly green in contrast to Blue who is a deeper shade of blue, and I think it's funny that he mainly IDENTIFIES as "green". Colour is a spectrum, after all.
So I haven't played elden ring in, like, a bunch of months, but I decided maybe playing a little before bed. Instead I had a white screen of death on launch and now I'm reinstalling and it's going to dead-asa take an hour and I think I'm just going to go to sleep.
Dropping in Vue and using it without a compiler is extremely underrated. Combined with axios (or just fetch I guess if you're boring) and you have a genuine modern jQuery killer.
