1. Arrogance: we especially don’t want to do it because the rest of the world does.
2. Cost: not the equipment, though that can get pretty pricey considering we up the margins on everything, but mostly labor; labor is ungodly expensive (they cry insurance or (my fave) “you’re paying for the years of experience”).

Baby steps. Gotta start somewhere.

Can we call it “The face of Bo”? For funsies.

I’ve never understood the mentality of offloading reading comprehension to others. Why do I bother to write clear error messages at all?

You’re not writing error messages for your users. You’re writing them for you. Most users, especially the higher up the chain you go, are not computer savvy in the least. In fact, they know maybe a handful of apps and only specific to what they need to use it for. They are absolutely terrified of anything that is not what they know, because they know that could mean their job if the problem is big enough (data loss, hacking, etc).

Hollywood has done a fantastic job of drilling that into the consumer. Just like every Hollywood movie always has that one squeaky computer nerd who can fix anything just by looking at the screen. Those nerds also terrify people because it reflects on how little those people know, and that’s always scary.

Long story short, write your logging for you; not them. If anything it makes you look like the hero every time. And Hollywood also taught us to adore our heroes.

I’ve learned (the hard way) that if any one person in an argument is upset enough to be in tears, then that argument is lost and should not be resumed. Take 20 minutes and try to come back more calmly and using a different approach.

It has a bigger area for cooking than a typical stove. Plus, you can cook other stuff on the stove while using a gas grill.

I like gas because it’s quick and easy. But I can also appreciate there are times when you want to use a charcoal grill when you have the time and desire. Everything has its place.

Take the peas that make up the US and make them the north and south poles, and put the steak where it belongs.

Wouldn’t that be a “bowl movement”?

~I apologize. It’s early and I haven’t had my coffee yet.~

There is a 98% (p=±2%) that you might need glasses.

I really needed this laugh today. Thank you!
