I’m a Darn Tough sock devotee. Same deal as you. I didn’t want to spend the money for a long time, then I finally shelled out for 8 pairs. This was many years ago, and still wear them daily. I’ve since added a couple more pairs.
I loved Sigur Ros when they first broke the scene around 1999. I thought it was so beautiful, and angelic, and weirdly transcendent. I wondered what beautiful poetry was being sung in this mystical Icelandic language I did not speak. Then, I learned that it’s not Icelandic. It’s not anything. It’s a made up language that means nothing. It shouldn’t really bother me, but I felt like I had been tricked, and haven’t been able to get past it.
I like it! I’m only a hobbyist programmer, but I’m 100% guilty of this.
Sure. It depends on the work. I only reference the quote when it is applicable.
These aren’t necessarily my favorite quotes, but they are the two I find myself referencing almost daily in my work life.
“We never seem to have the time to do it right, yet we always seem to find the time to do it twice.”
“You can save hours of planning with weeks of work.”
I can’t think of any problems I’ve faced in over 3 years. I have an app on my phone that I can use to temporarily disable my Pi-hole if I need to do some testing, but I don’t know if I’ve ever had a situation where the Pi-hole was the source of a problem. Definitely not a maintenance headache. I run an update on it every now and then, but only because I see a notification that there is one, not because there’s something going wrong.
Damn, this one really got me. Nicely done.
There are so many other reasons to lose patience with some of my coworkers, tech illiteracy is nowhere near the top of the list. If anything, I like helping people with tech.
