If possible I save the grease. My house is next to a river, so I made it a habbit to not just throw away food but feed it to the fish. Sometimes we have leftovers and it’s been a little too long to eat, so I throw it in the river.

What does that mean? Where I live you borrow a certain amount of money and you pay it back plus interest (in my case 3.5%), and that percentage is fixed for 20 years. In 20 years I expect to have paid most of that entire amount back and my house should be mortgage free

I mean it more like if you would have borred 100K for a house in the 70s that was a lot of money, if you still live in that house you probably paid it back, but even if you didn’t 100K today isn’t that much money anymore

What do you mean with “inflation was added to your mortgage rate”? The prices of houses do go up but this is mostly a problem for first time buyers, after that your current house has gone up in price too, so that helps with the next house. But if you buy a house and don’t move your mortgage is fixed for 20 or 30 years (unless you go without a fixed rate). So your monthly payment will stay the same, while hopefully your salary goes up.

Not necessarily, if you own a home AND your pay slowly goes up to compensate (both of these unfortunately aren’t happening for a lot of people), relative to your income your mortgage goes down.

Or in more generic terms, inflation is good if you borrow money.

You can buy bags with fake mold, but people will probably see it and throw your food in the trash, so I don’t think it really helps.

For test data I like to use different movie or comic book names for different epics.

So when we start a new epic with multiple user stories I decide this will be all star wars, or matrix or donald duck characters, etc etc. The nice thing about it is when certain test data gives unexpected errors in other parts of application its easy to track where the test data is from.

Yeah if bugs didn’t exist I’d be homeless too

You do know what to do and you are doing it! It’s not going to magically solve everything but you are doing more than most people.

Wow China really dropped the ball on this one.

If only he knew his discovery would lead to the worst car rental company he problem wouldn’t have published

What my company used to do, person A asks for higher hour rate. Manager can’t get approval from his manager.

Person A quits, but is told you can always apply for the job again. Request for a new hire is made, people show up, also person A. In the end person A is hired for a better hour rate.

I do know a scrum coach that tried this only to be not hired because person B showed up and they liked him more.

Don’t forget emo and demo

As a kid we always had shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Nobody used bodywash or soap. We washed our hair once in a while and thats it. We washed our bodies too, but just water. Anyway I’m in my 40s and still never started with bodywash, it’s seriously something you don’t need. I do use shampoo but that is more because I like it, it’s also unnecessary.

Too many features but also autocomplete isn’t working? So I guess you do want many features?

Yes, I don’t have adhd but for a long time at work I felt like this. Mix of anxiety and imposter syndrome I think

Vibe coding is closer to script kiddy

I think I have been subconsciously trying to improve my gut biome as an adult…

Yes but I felt adding the “je” part would make it more confusing for non Dutch readers.
