It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.

I know someone who does this. He’s more productive at home, and near-zero people he meets with at the office, but there’s a mandate to badge-in so many days a week. So he does.

He’s not slacking, he’s being made less efficient by complying with a broken policy.

If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there's another keyboard you are considering trying instead.

I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.

I'm looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server.

I have used msmtpd successfully but thought I'd ask if folks have other solutions they like.

In well-functioning teams, devs aren’t publicly shamed. We learn and move on.

The peer reviewer, who is often more senior, missed the issue too.

And if there was no peer review, then that’s a process issue, not a personal issue.

And then I moved colon and semicolon to layers and re-assigned that outer pinky key to my rarely used AltGr key.

On the other hand, a Garmin Fenix can be easily opened with an inexpensive tool and replacement parts are easily found online.

I’ve been at this for 25 years and a restriction on variable name length hasn’t been a problem since then.

A good senior dev shouldn’t just be older, they should have continued to learn and evolve.

I do remember texting abbreviations because we texted on a number pad with no autocomplete.

Everyone I know was happy to switch to better keyboards and autocomplete as soon as they were available.
