A laptop in 2007. I don’t remember the details. I believe it had 2GB RAM, since that was the main metric for bragging about computational power back then.

For conversations which include interested parts as recipients, it’s good to reply to all to ensure they get all the updates. But this goes for smaller groups. If you go beyond 7-10 recipients, it might be time to ask if everyone really wants this or if some other communication format would be preferrable (chat group or meeting).

True. It was an expensive lesson, but not expensive for me.

As an IT-worker, it’s not uncommon to test technology and scrap it due to bad results or unfit implementation. Usually this isn’t considered a waste, since there are a lot of things to learn in the process.

However, this one system which was designed for testing applications was a bit different. From the day we were told about it, basically every developer knew that this would be unfit. However the customers were firm on that it should be implemented. I’m not sure if it was because of the looks of the sales person or if it was a genuine incompetense that the decission was landed, but I felt a bit too junior to stand up against it. So about a month of work with 2 developers went down on something that every other developer knew would be scrapped. 2 devs at ~$100/hour, 4 weeks of 40 hours, so roughly $32,000.

The lesson was that I need to be more direct and firm when things like that is decided.

DaVinci Resolve. It’s insane to me that you can get that much video editin functionality for free.

Edit: I somehow missed the open source-part. Nvm me.

To be pedantic, I don’t really see Skyrim NPCs eat weird meals, but as the main character, I’ve regularly gobbled down 3 sacks of flour and a wheel of cheese mid combat.

I started playing disk golf which has started to build up some sort of social network. Doing a physical activity with other people really seems to work.
