Girl in front of me ordering a pretzel without a paper bag. She got it right to her hand. Props to the cool environment friendly girl

Struggeling with an open office plan and searching for it's pros made me find this article about the cons. And kind of all points apply to me. I'd just add the visual disturbances which I find as hard as acoustics. https://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/the-open-office-trap

How do you guys cope with open offices if you had/have to work there?

Management: „we want you to work in deep focus and to be really creative“
Also Management: „please be online in Slack when you are at your desk and react to all calls whenever we try to reach you“

Before you turn into a human, you are a „predividuum“

Seeing two parents having their children on the lap in the full train this morning. I saw this kind of hindsight more often a few years ago

Microsoft Teams finds my password is too long with 18 chars but it doesn’t tell me the maximum length either. Special experts working there

A lot of admin interfaces for APIs let you retrieve the same access token whenever you need it. That means the token is most likely stored in clear text.

Directed my webbrowser to the Dyson homepage (typing the URL, not using search) on my laptop and getting Dyson Ads in my Instagram timeline on my phone later. That’s actually a reason for not buying their IoT devices.

Had my very first experience in programming a toy app for a smartphone. I used flutter for that and everything went so quick from idea to results. Even though I never used Dart before either.
I’ll keep you updated about flutter but so far I am a fan

Will we actually not have the same EMF pollution that we have with WiFi now, including all the mutual disturbances, with self driving cars?
I don’t mean only invisible EMF but also technologies like Lidars. I hope self driving cars will not drown in noisy environments

“Describe the architecture of the Kubernetes Scheduler”. Sure. That’s what everybody deals with on a daily basis 🙄

Funny that so many things of our daily life got normalized:
* A bachelor degree takes 3 years, no matter how hard the topic
* Your salary is enough to buy one house in your life if you are really lucky
* All the packages in the supermarket promising “one meal” size. They’ve not seen me hungry
