Overheard in the Scarlychel household:

"I want a raspberry pi and a cute little lego case for it"

(...)

"IT COULD GO IN A DATA CENTER"

- Scarly

🤦

everything should have a cute mascot tbh

when @Scarly spends too much time coding weird stuff starts comin outta her mouth and i just gotta be like... "yeah, no, you're not doing that, that doesn't make any sense"

gotta protect her from herself sometimes :blobsleepless:

food-ish 

the best food related purchase I've ever made was a sous vide circulator back in 2017 on a cyber monday sale

makes meat prep infinitely easier compared to other methods, with predictable high quality results every damn time

i could never, ever go back :psyduck:

(came to mind since I just tossed some cheap pork chops into the water for dinner)

if I ever own a house I want my back yard to double as a crow sanctuary. :blobhyperthink:

listening to trip hop while coding is praxis

sadly, my attempt to sneak a single pringle into @Scarly 's bowl of Doritos failed

so I've purchased a few games made by folks on the fediverse, and am interested in getting some more as time goes by

anyone have suggestions? :blobthinking:

honestly I remember thinking it was a big deal when I hit like... 200 posts over on the birdsite tbh, so this is kinda amusing to me

Show thread

honestly don't know how y'all aren't already sick of me

unless... unless you are, and you're just being quiet about it :psyduck:

@scarly
*Hospital gets new patient information software* "Gee I wish the programmers had talked to some nurses and doctors instead of just other programmers"
*School gets new student assessment software* "Gee I wish the programmers had talked to some teachers and students instead of just other programmers"
*Construction company gets new materials tracking software* "Gee I wish the programmers had talked to some installers and estimators etc"

Just a trend I've noticed

Chel boosted

looking at my old code like "what were you thinking, scarly? i'm taking away your python now before you hurt anyone."

seeing ads for Sunless Skies on half the sites I have whitelisted, and I'm just like... okay, sure, y'all got me figured out, but what you don't know is that I already bought the game 🤷

@Scarly 's notifications have been going crazy all day, and she's all like "OMG WHAT IS GOING ON" and it's beautiful and adorable

(just like she is TBH)

Chel boosted

My endgame is to become mutuals with every bird in the fediverse and I need YOUR help

me whenever @Scarly starts working on a new project: :blobaww: :blobaww: :blobaww:

Chel boosted

non-programmers are an important part of open source projects. non-programmer contributions are valid and useful and not second tier or otherwise less valuable.

it's easy to say programmers are the only value-add when you're fortunate enough to have enough non-programmers that you can take them for granted.

if you take away the feature requests, translations, and general chatter - many OSS projects would have never been more than flawed, narrow use case tech demos.
