  Sure, I’ll snap a few if Revy wants to hang out with me tonight! :)

  I always refill my snake’s water dish with cold (so like 10°C) water, just so that she has the option to drink it cold if she wants to, or wait for it to get to room temperature.

  Usually, she just goes up to the fresh water, tongue flicks on the surface, then ignores it for several hours. No idea if that means that she doesn’t like it cold. She could just be not thirsty at all but intrigued by the dish moving back into her space (I always change it while she’s looking, so that she knows what’s going on and isn’t startled by me moving it in or out).

  Even better, imagine being a 35-year old streamer with a kid, and other parents at the preschool ask you about your job.

  (Spoiler: some really good anecdotes come from that, see Northernlion)

  It’s a great strategy, but exclusively for software engineering. Weird tech bros who want to run the world like a software company inherently don’t understand that fact.

  He was pressuring his employees to go faster with testing and development, as their competitor (I believe it was Synchron) got approved for human trials way faster.

  Well, “move fast and break things” isn’t really a good mindset while performing animal trials, and after about 1500 deaths, many due to botched and rushed brain surgery, the research facility actually got audited for animal cruelty allegations (which happens SO rarely because the law basically allows anything when you say it’s “research”).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What administrative powers exist among workspaces in the software industry and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always better to be safe than sorry. Many Software devs can be trusted to not do anything too stupid with their machines, but every person has blind spots and can be tricked. At the company I work at, the IT system is pretty permissive at what can and can’t be done, but the Admins do block installing programs that ask for too many permissions under the hood (like some custom drivers and things that want console access) or that simply aren’t allowed due to company policy (i.e. Postman, because it just sends too much information to the cloud). Even a well-meaning dev usually isn’t aware of all the details of a program they want to install or the company policies - there are too many to reasonably know at all times. So it’s easier to block stuff, and if someone really does need something they just ask and get it unblocked for themselves.

  You can also never be sure that a dev isn’t doing anything malicious. Of course that’s rare, but when it happens the damage to all company projects is just too large.

  It’s also not much of a hierarchy thing, the Admins are on exactly the same level as devs, their job is just a bit different.
