Me: *keenly aware that sending email is not an immediate thing and sometimes delivery can take longer than you'd expect*

Also me: Why is the email this service said it sent me not showing up in my inbox immediately?

I am super excited to be able to announce that I'm gonna be joining the Roave Team next month! I'm too ecstatic about this opportunity and I wanted to share.

My AnnotatedContainer project is reaching the point where basic functionality is in place and I"m needing to solve more complex or nuanced problems. I think this makes sense but without somebody to bounce ideas off of I'm left unsure of my solution.

Somebody a couple houses down from where I live just fired off 4 or 5 gunshots. Sounded like from a handgun but I couldn’t tell.

Can’t wait until my wife and I are able to move.

It is going to take a shift in how I think about working with the OS but #Fedora #Silverblue looks really interesting. The ability to do something like...

toolbox enter client-a

Then install packages specific to client-a that might conflict with host system or some other client.

rpm-ostree status

See a list of all of your 'deployments' (OS upgrades and host package installs).. choose to rollback to what your system was before the current deploy

Had an app I work on upgraded to #java 17 lately. NullPointerException don't just say `null` anymore. They actually provide useful information about what variable/method call results in null. In previous Java versions the exception message is literally `null`.

Not sure I've been in a situation where a change to an Exception message might be the most useful new feature from an upgrade.

Think I'm gonna try out Pest, writing some #PHP tests tonight. Feel like the higher-order test concept they have might be useful.

Nope. today it is DNS.

😱

Yesterday the whole day was effectively shot in the face dealing with dependency problems in Node and and an OpenSSL upgrade. I sincerely hope that I solved all the problems and I can be productive today.

Getting a #yubikey setup has made MFA so much easier. Wish all accounts I had supported it.

Our #cat has taken to jumping onto my shoulder from the back of my desk chair. This is my life now. I'm a cat taxi.

Been using #linux as my primary development environment for 5+ years. Had been using a Mac, and enjoying it, before then. Tremendous Docker problems with Mac made me swap over.

I'm not the kind of dev to say you MUST use OSS code, but I do like to use it whenever I can. I chose to go with the open-source GPU drivers when I installed my OS. Got 4k monitors, noticed some mouse lag during video playback. Decided to try properietary Nvidia drivers.

it is night and day different.

I think something it is missing that would help a lot is ability to edit the ticket (Issue) description without having to go into the Issues section of the repo. Kinda dampens the flow a little bit that you can't do from within the project.

I've actually been enjoying* the new project management features on #GitHub.

I have a view that acts as a Roadmap to give an idea on what features are coming and when.

I have a view that acts as a Kanban board for the current milestone being worked on.

https://github.com/users/cspray/projects/1/views/4

I have a view that gives a high-level overview of everything. This is where I create the ticket.

*As much as one can enjoy managing tickets

I got php-di implemented as a Container to use with my annotated-container project. Feeling pretty good about having 2 different containers implemented, confident 3+ will be coming soon. Still have more to do before it is releasable but seeing the test suite pass is really good.

#php

https://tailscale.com/ looks pretty amazing. Thinking of all kind of ways you might take advantage of something like this.

Added some new functionality to my container project recently. I think I like it but there's also something I feel like I'm missing.

I guess you could say this #cat is a real basket case.

About 3 years ago I built a state machine in Java that was meant to interop with an app written in Rails. I just got through pairing with a dev on using the state machine to solve a problem that I had anticipated all those years ago and it solved it perfectly.

Feels really good that even after the state machine no longer needs to interop with a Rails app it is functional enough to keep using and being useful.
