Committed by Jesus
Brian Brennan: I have a super hacky continuous deployment thing that I'm doing.
Because it does exactly zero integration testing before it continuously deploys that shit.
Keith Avery: hah
Brian Brennan: It's not that I don't have a a test suite, because I do – my script just doesn't even run it.
Keith Avery: better get it right before pushing, I guess
Brian Brennan: haha, that's my motto.
// #TODO re-write this piece of garbage from scratch, jesus christ.
A todo I just found in my codebase.
Keith Avery: JESUS CAN'T HELP YOUR CODE
Jesus saves…. frequently. Also commits.
Brian Brennan: Jesus uses feature branches and pulls merges with upstream on a regular basis.

Brian Brennan: fuck web development, let's just make Doom 3 clones.
That's where the real money is.
Keith Avery: yeah but then we would be windows programmers
Brian Brennan: Oh man, nevermind.
Keith Avery: haha
Brian Brennan: I was out at lunch yesterday, lo and behold Ryan Dahl the creator of node.js comes in.
Keith Avery: maybe he will merge with Brendan Eich and we will achieve the singularity
Brian Brennan: I wanted to say something but he was with a laaaaaady.
I didn't want to blow up his spot.
Keith Avery: chicks dig javascript

awkie situation averted
Keith: thanks again for your gift of iced coffee.
You have very similar handwriting to my wife Jane.
I keep glancing over to it and thinking 'oh fuck I forgot our anniversary'
this has happened three times
Hopefully you are not in a place where someone dropping a f-bomb on your screen is inappropriate, such as, say, giving a presentation.
Amanda: you are probably disappointed to learn that there is no awkie situation created here
Keith: with you it is a mixture of disappointment and relief

those crazy redditors
Brian Brennan: SO I went to a mini-reddit meetup last night.
And one of the dudes is a millionaire.
And brought a thousand dollars in ones and was just throwing it in the air at the bar, "making it rain".
Keith Avery: what an asshole
$1's = asshole
Brian Brennan: hahaha
Keith Avery: $20's = great guy!
Brian Brennan: I said "I have a pocketful of nickels, would that be cool?"
Keith Avery: hurl it at the guy
this was a reddit developer?
or just reddit redditors?
Brian Brennan: reddit redditors
Keith Avery: Still trying to figure out this guys motivation for doing this
were there strippers/hookers present?
think I am going to stick to 'asshole'
Brian Brennan: hahah no it was $1 beer night at the bar.
So he bought drinks for the bar.
Keith Avery: that's a lot of beer
Brian Brennan: In the funniest way he could.
Keith Avery: hah
Brian Brennan: He was encouraging people to throw it back in the air, just so they could feel rich too.
It was insane.
Keith Avery: I am just jealous
Brian Brennan: The whole night was just insane.
Keith Avery: THOSE CRAZY REDDITORS

this week’s edition contains a mésalliance of both handy definitions (“a side of bacon”, “to laugh sarcastically”), balderdash™-style descriptions (“the person who puts the feather on an arrow”, “having a mouth like a flounder”), and suessian whimsy (flee flowns, flibberjibber, and flothery). enjoy:
