Yaml parsing. Article was great.

I read part of it; it was too painful to read more.

I kept finding myself saying “Well that’s stupid” over and over again.

Edit: To clarify, it’s yaml parsing that is “stupid”; the article was great.

Sorry to hear it didn’t work out as planned for the two of you.

IMHO, relationships should not be about one persons happiness/goals/etc over the other (i.e. wives are not more important than husbands or vice versa). The item mentioned in the original post isn’t going to change anything in their lives (other than bringing one of them a bit of joy).

No complaints here; I just want the wife’s to be happy.

If the wife likes it, mission accomplished!

Just take a chill pill man.

Still, I say: You (importer) tell me the amount to pay – then I authorize payment to you.

If I have a nickel for everytime someone said “The cloud never goes down”.

I’d have a lot of nickels and would spend my time doing something I like a lot more than working 🤑.

I’m in a promo loyalty program

Get out now.

I’ll take the non-AI using pharmacist for the win. Thank you very much.

Had one application that would (somethings) give the message: Hey baby, you’re an object.

Some users where not amused.

Where’s Major Tom?

Folks need to check out Red Dwarf (British sci-fi comedy).

Funny you should mention this - we must have both worked at the same place.

BLUF - Management required us to mark wrong number calls as “closed, not resolved”. Next day I had 6 calls all day (really slow Sat) with 2 wrong numbers. I didn’t meet my statistics for 90%+ “first call resolution” - because the idiots in management required me to mark two as “not resolved”.

I had to build a spreadsheet and trace in detail all 6 of my calls to show them why.

One of my SOs supervisors actually gave gold stars for good work. These were full grown adults, with children/mortgages/cars and, they thought, professional careers. She had worked there over 30 years when this happened.

Moral was quite affected by this “genius idea”!

If only they had purchased a smart employee that could count (like you) to do this job instead of a “stupid cow that can’t count”, this could have all been avoided. /s

Glad to hear they got what they wanted!

Math checks out; ship it!
