YOLO Mode
We really went from “minimum possible access” hygiene straight to “YOLO mode”. Those were the days… Two Kinds of Developers

Slug Won’t Do Fast
Thanks to my daughter for the idea for this comic – she learned about the slug-eat-slug result of this experiment at the science fair and ad-libbed what the slug was thinking in that (3rd panel) moment.

Everyone Makes Mistakes
Sometimes it’s just a relief to hear other peoples’ kids say potentially embarrassing things about their parents, too.

That’s A Nice Chair
Total strangers were taking chairs for a spin in the office space they were going to be in after the office move. Unfortunately for them, people are attached to their specific nice chairs, and those chairs will not be inherited with the room. Also, no points for subtlety.

Feel Good Code
I used to collect quotes at the office and display them on post-it notes. Thanks to a co-worker for saying this one (nearly verbatim).

These Cute Problems
Seriously huge props to the people who step-up and make the Girl Scout cookie sales happen for my kids’ troop.

Invisible Girl Scouts
They’re just kids! The girl scouts do receive specific guidance to try to prevent their being a nuisance like to not ask people on their way into the store and not to hound people who don’t want to buy. So if you just say “no, thank you” you should be able to escape unscathed.

Why wouldn’t I fully trust the AI? It’s not like it’s ever blatantly lied to… oh yeah.
