I have read plenty of reports both for and against Hydroxychloroqiune, to the point that I would say I had no idea what to believe about it. The fact that it appeared to be dismissed after Trump suggested it is really disappointing. Not tha

Interesting take. Steak is one of the things that I do prefer without extra sauces or spices. Tuna steak I add a bit of salt pepper and chilli powder. Chicken by itself is fairly bland, I find it like a blank canvas for adding other flavour

Pizza and patsa, your food is so overrated. It was my student diet as it required so little effort or ability. Give me some spicy Indian over that any day. (My Chile con carne recipe is very similar to spaghetti bolognese, with some chillie

It seems kind of strange that you would go to university to progress. I feel the opposite, university was a good starting block but the vast majority of my knowledge is from on the job.

My colleague just left after doing a load of AWS exams. I am left to fix his mess. He will create another over engineered over complex mess. He values clever over maintainable. I am not sure exams are the answer, but I don't have a bet

I am beginning to think that hiring for enthusiastic programmers might be a mistake. Get on old cynical bastard like me. I just want to make my own life easy, and that means writing the easiest to maintain code that I can. Not trying out so
