Love this quote from
@joestringer
"When automated tooling is too noisy in a human space, it converts the human space into non-human space and humans no longer interact with one another."
Silently ignoring unrecognized configuration options is a security risk and should be treated as such.

Once again, I am Thursday tired on a Monday
Every so often, I remember the time in 10th grade when I wrote "interred" in a paper when I meant "exhumed".
They say "time in market beats timing the market", but I have a lot of stonks I wish I sold six months ago...
I have almost but not quite cleared my backlog of overdue tasks on Todoist. Now if I can only start doing some of the "it'd be nice to..." things.
I am "I need to take a day to reorganize the email labels I set up 21 years ago because they don't really suit my purposes" years old.
There's a group of teens here in the hotel making fun of their friend for having the Yelp app on his phone.
Happy Perfect Date to those who celebrate!
We've reached the `git commit -asm 'Stop being stupid'` stage of the workday already.
I know I've worked in tech too long when @theladyfiasco asks me how to represent "wildest dreams" in seven characters or fewer and my first thought is "w11s".
