Something infectious is spreading through the work force. Its symptoms present in a spate of two-week notices. Its transmission is visible in real time. And few bosses seem to know how to inoculate their staff against this quitagion.

My coping mechanism is to litter legacy code with:

// TODO: X is unknown here. Here are the terrible things that can happen in these cases.

And pretend I've moved on.

(sorry, this is javascript, that should just be a random `undefined`. 😆)

@NfNitLoop ("Cody C. #BLM") replied to a tweet by @NfNitLoop:

Inside me there are two wolves:

1. Seeing the undefined state makes you a better programmer.

2. Seeing the undefined state overwhelms your puny meat brain with too many details to get anything done.

3. IndexOutOfBoundError.

I mean, you know how I feel about it. The answer is that many of the people in charge at NYT are exactly the kind of white men who are highly invested in the "law and order" part of white supremacist society staying firmly in place. #cancelNYTimes

@equalityAlec @polotek honest question, why does the NYT do this? Like, specifically? Just general "mouthpiece of empire" bs, or...?

@volkadav @DynamicWebPaige But being fully remote (and not B.S.-ing about it) was also a giant plus in startups' column.

With all of Big Tech's talk about "disrupting" this and that, they sure are slow to figure out that paying for office space is very Old School. 😆

@volkadav @DynamicWebPaige For me, it's also that smaller companies are less likely to be involved in business practices I find distasteful (to put it mildly).

@steveklabnik @samaaron I had just that experience this week. Was trying to figure out how to maintain multiple references to multiple mutable objects to do a thing. Was difficult enough (but not impossible) in Rust that it ended up pushing me to a better solution anyway.

Just a reminder, the Democratic party has removed AOC from more committees than Manchin.🤷🏿‍♂️

And they've publicly criticized AOC more than Joe.

Manchin (who makes sweet, sweet, coal money), still sits on the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. In fact he's the Chairman!

The US Supreme Court says you can't make me wear a mask if I don't wanna. The US CDC won't officially recommend an N95 over other masks, or require a negative test before returning to work.

Meanwhile, South Korea fines you ~$100 if your nose is outside your mask. Wear it right.

South Korea continues to be the role model. I hope they can sustain their science driven strategy which so far has saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

@orta @typescript re: "Parameter Properties", "private" and "readonly" are handy too.

Destructuring for named method params is a handy abstraction. (Not class-specific, though. Maybe belongs on a slide about functions instead.)

If I knew N at compile time, I think I could do it in rusqlite by hard-coding N `mut Statement`s and N `Rows` referencing them.

But I don't. And I assume a `mut Vec` + `mut Vec` isn't going to be a thing that the borrow-checker can validate for me.
