other pseudo human interaction #3
- Free food with no where to eat it but back at your desk.
- We-can-do-400-hours of socializing-at-one-christmas-party. No human interaction except at the 1.5 hr holiday party in December

am I missing any?

Other pseudo human interaction #2:
- go-play-in-the-highway-kids - Social events scheduled by boss for staff that the boss doesn't intend to attend
- techies-are-secret-extroverts-right? Social event at a really, really, really loud bar with 90% employees you've never met before

Other pseudo human interaction:
- all hands "social" events with 400-800 attendees.
- go-around-the-table-and-introduce-yourself
- how you doing? fine. okay, bye! (robo-pleasantries)
- listening to the 1-way-status report from the boss. (Ok, I'm guilty of this one)

There is a sweet spot for amount of human interaction for tech work- I think it is ~8 hours per week. & I mean social interaction, not mando-fun. At 4 hours of social interaction a day, you ain't get anything done. at 4 hours a month, you thats solitary confinement in prison.

What are other job titles for "build master"?

Google isn't helping me. I guess I need a website to search for alternative search key words.

This would be a good #AWS utility - it would scan your git repos for keys and as soon as it sees a key, use boto to call IAM and disable the key. https://twitter.com/corsoa/status/1085972230922780672

Everyone is winning their votes of confidence today (Greek PM, English PM), so...

if you ssh to a server and type

does it make a sound?

Any historians here? What happens when a government misses payroll for the military?

Instead of "you're ugly", say "go play in the highway" or "go pound sand" https://twitter.com/Argorak/status/1085500190323286016

A single scan takes like 1/2 hour on these Xerox WorkCentre things, fails on 1/2 of the machines, is unreachably by mac. When interviewing, when they ask, "Do you have any questions?" Imma gonna be like, "You guys don't haven any Xerox Workcentre machines do you?"

Pick up each tweet and say, "does this tweet bring be joy?" if not, dox them & visit their house to encourage them to stay off the internet or at least write better material. Then return to your empty house where you just threw away all your possessions and cry. https://twitter.com/mattcampux/status/1084850604328042496

It is spelled anise so you'd know that it was a joke about putting anus in the cookies and should not really be included. Bay leaves are also a joke but no one got it.

4 cups of bread + 3 cups milk + the grapes that you bough in July that have since turned into raisins = bread pudding.

Everyone talks about buying milk & bread & not eggs, so they must be making an eggless bread pudding.

Craigslist has a love/hate relationship with illegal drugs. Every few months they update their filter & they all disappear. Facebook still just doesn't care, Pages are flooded with illegal pharmacies & illegal drugs.

OK, I got enough poblanos, achiote, guajillos, pintos & tortillas to last me through the snow.

Here is a picture of the lines to get it:

Pypi is 3TB of stuff. According to pypistats, the top 100 or so packages by size:

> Top Packages consume 1.97 TB
> - This is 66% of PyPI

So 2/3 of pypi are a handful of people abusing the unlimited size of packages.

CODE KATA: write an application that uses internationalization (think Indian lakh) or changes in bases system to write your salary with 2 commas. https://x.com/QuetCodesFire/status/1083765191635095554

pandoc can't seem to convert MD to rst in a way that pypi likes.

I'm thinking maybe a package needs 2 docs: MD for communicating with source code browsers (people who might really care about project details) and an RST file for just people who want to *use* the library

What looks less painful?

Right now, #Fargate is painful & docker-compose just works, I'm tempted to use ditch #ECS and just use an EC2 machine with docker-compose running on it.
