Shove some letters in there. You ate your way in. You can walk your way out.

There is no "work quickly" without a previous period of either slow thought or "I have no clue what I am doing".

The latter is not working fast, it's learning.


Fine piece of what it's really about. The feeling of losing one's joy and possible applause for doing a good job.

But the inevitable is not a fact, it's a rigged fake that is, unfortunately, adapted by humans which flock in such large groups, echoing the same sentiments that it for those people seem real and inevitable.

Humans in general are extremely predictable, yet, so predictable that they seem utterly stupid and imbecile.


What did you do when AWS was down last week?


Eat healthy. Do sports. Sleep well. Repeat.


Also, meditate, fast intermittently, get therapy, and develop healthy ways of handling stress and dissatisfaction.

Everyone’s path is a little different. What is only a little difficult for some might be downright impossible for others (or feel that way).


No, those things aren't nearly as important. Handling stress and therapy can also be replaced by some physical activity as well.

General advice that would work for 95% of people shouldn't be criticised because it doesn't address the other 5%. If people did it then there'd be far more money in the system to pay for usefully targetted specialist treatment for those people.


If we are talking about overweight people, then I think your 95% figure is backwards. Maybe 5% can stick to that regimen without addressing what’s going on between their ears. Likely, your perspective is skewed by the crowd you hang out with or from seeing other people at the gym. That’s not a representative cross-section of the population, particularly with respect to people who are overweight.

The emotional/psychological side is important, because the person must make long term changes in their lifestyle.

People tend to over-eat for a reason, and typically it is a reaction to stress or some emotional/psychological need which isn’t being met.


Intermittent fasting can help with appetite suppression and blood sugar spikes. Our bodies didn’t evolve to snack all day long. More likely, we gorged and fasted depending on what was available.

There’s a book called “The Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet” which promotes intermittent fasting to lose weight, and I think it’s on the right track, although the book recommends taking in calories only during a one hour period each day, which for me was too extreme.

I do think it’s beneficial to fast for at least 6 hours once a day, if possible. It’s good for your blood sugar as well as your gut. It can give you more energy and help you feel more like exercising.


Since we are pulling numbers out of our asses can you tell me what good advice that 95% of the people aren't capable of following is? It's great that our national health institutes advices us, but can you explain how the advice isn't completely useless in this particular context? To me it comes off as arrogant and rude.


I didn't say 95% of people aren't capable of following some advice. That would be bad advice. I'm saying this is good advice, because 95% of people can follow it.


Now, go out and fight for what you believe in.


My question is, where can I print these stickers IRL?

I miss that feel from a sticker so much


Ehh...no.

The minister of IT and digitalisation has communicated that her department would try to move from windows to FOSS.

Look it up. And stop believing these sensational stories.


> Look it up

Do you have a better source?


This is the actual source, but it's in Danish:

Machine-translated from the source (https://www.digmin.dk/digitalisering/nyheder/nyhedsarkiv/202...):

Denmark must become less dependent on the major tech giants when it comes to digital solutions in the public sector. Therefore, the Ministry of Digitalization is now starting to test a new open source solution.

This week, the Ministry of Digitalization is launching a new pilot project, where a group of employees will begin testing an open source alternative to the Microsoft Office suite.

Specifically, the open source platform in question is Collabora, which is based on the open source software LibreOffice. The employees in the Ministry of Digitalization’s department participating in the pilot project will have the Office suite in their case management system replaced with Collabora.

"As minister, I’ve spoken about the need to challenge our digital independence. Now we’re taking the first step ourselves in the Ministry of Digitalization with this new pilot project. I don’t delude myself into thinking that this means we’re ready to kick the tech giants out tomorrow, but I see it as a welcome step in the right direction. As politicians, we have an obligation to ensure that our IT systems in the future aren’t dependent on a few large companies," says Minister for Digitalization Caroline Stage.

The ministry is beginning tests of a new integrated document editing module in the F2 case management system, based on the open source platform Collabora built on LibreOffice. This means that ministry employees will test an alternative to the Microsoft Office suite and use open source document editing tools instead of Microsoft’s solutions like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

The solution will be rolled out for broader testing in the Ministry of Digitalization’s department on June 19, 2025. At that time, a group of departmental employees will have their Office suite in F2 replaced with the open source alternative. In the months that follow, the ministry will monitor and test whether Collabora can support the ministry’s workflows and needs in a satisfactory manner.

The upcoming testing work will focus, among other things, on functionality related to the ministry’s templates, formatting for government cases, use of 'track changes', tables, etc., and whether the solution can handle conversion to and from Word format without altering the layout of documents.

If the test period proceeds satisfactorily, the next step is expected to be a broader rollout of the open source alternative throughout the department.


There is videos of them as well somewhere online, where they hang out, surf and so forth. Great story!



Mark Seemann has written extensively about the subject.

He a tremendous source of knowledge in that regard.

His AutoFixture C# NuGet takes away so much pain from unit test maintenance. It does have a learning curve.
