This morning, my wife left Orlando, Florida aboard @SouthwestAir flight 1630 (MCO to PHX). She sat behind this man. She had been attending the Grace Hopper Conference all week and was resting her head on her tray table, trying to sleep a bit. Let me tell you what happened.

The vs code remote containers plugin makes setting up per project docker containers for development a lot easier and eliminates a bunch of the local conflict problems because 6 months ago you started a new project and ran brew upgrade postgresql

I hate when celebrities encourage people to vote. It’s WAY more annoying than… The mishandling of a pandemic Disrespecting our Military Widespread Corruption Putting kids in cages Not paying taxes Alienating allies Clearly denouncing white supremacists Stoking racial division

At a friend’s house watching the new mulan movie. WTF why is there a witch? We’re like 15 minutes in and I’m kinda hoping all the characters die in the upcoming war. This is not starting out good.
