This is definitely a decent starting point but not a complete solution, unfortunately. It’s not always cost-effective if you only want a few tracks from an album or need to import it to get it at all (or if it was a limited release it can be hard to find at all).

You forgot to set up a 302.

That is deeply disturbing.

I avoided overtime like the plague since my employer didn’t like to deal with it (so if circumstances required me to work overtime my supervisor was pretty good about allowing me to take it as time in lieu the following week), but unfortunately there were definitely times where I had to log in on the weekend (the challenge of having customers that require support 7 days a week).

Apparently I’m off the end of the chart. My last workplace set up had:

• primary 15" laptop with two external monitors (so 3 screens in use simultaneously)
• secondary 15" laptop with external monitor (so another 2 screens) when the primary one was tied up doing heavy processing (I was lucky and managed to hold onto my previous laptop when we did the usual rounds of device upgrades whereas most people just returned them to IT to be retired, so I had a spare that I could readily take home for WFH days without messing with my main office setup)
• a standalone PC monitor (for automation stuff, so the screen was there just for monitoring as needed)

Having worked with JavaScript, I understand the usefulness of a “less strict” equality comparison like this, but the coercion of objects still does my head in…

(And for the record, most of the time I did use strict equality).

Definitely #1. I’ve encountered #2 with a very specific IDE and #4 and #5 on occasion.

Of the thousands of books tucked into the library’s stacks, one author has emerged as a patron favourite: Louise Penny, the bestselling Canadian novelist and creator of the detective Armand Gamache. … Penny made headlines in recent weeks after donating C$50,000 (US$36,000) to help fund a new entrance to the library, an “elegant” solution to the diplomatic snafu created in wake of new restrictions. “I have the resources to help because of the support of American and Canadian readers. The least I could do is give back,” Penny said. “Plus, it’s like giving the finger to the current administration: you close one door, we will open another one.”

This is exactly what I would do - make sure there is an accessible entrance on the Canadian side. Make it so that if the US really wants to be difficult, they have to put up a wall down the middle of the library.

As the senior dev, please don’t.

We work in protoduction.

Nope, just inherited a colleague’s codebase when they left. It’s years later and I still haven’t sorted it all out.

As someone who has inherited code like that, I would like to strangle the first programmer in the comic.

Make sure it’s not whitespace sensitive and requires explicit typing, just to mess with everyone.

Ouch.

I have actually encountered those sort of potential differences between ground planes. They can indeed wreak havoc under the right circumstances.

I can’t decide whether to laugh or cry.

Same.

I think it’s just that we’re possessive/protective of “our” code, even more so if one is passionate about programming. We’ve put a lot of effort into it, then somebody else comes along and “ruins” our “perfect” (to our eyes) formatting/styling!

Some linters can do both. Getting one set up as an automated job whenever code is pushed to the repo is on my TODO list…

I felt that. I have a colleague whose coding style is different to mine and whenever they work on code that I originally wrote, I have to resist the temptation to modify things to camelCase.
