Is it canon that Bacon Ipsum exists in the Star Wars universe? baconipsum.com/2023/04/bacon-i

Do you need to generate sample text?
Do you not know latin?
Do you like food?

If so, allow me to introduce you to *bacon ipsum* (baconipsum.com): "a meatier lorem ipsum generator", written by Pete Nelson (@codegeekatx)!

Vegetarian and vegan alternatives are available, but he refuses to add fish, on the basis that he doesn't like it, so another person implemented tunaipsum.com...

Whimsical projects like this make me smile :)

@chris A client wanted something in UAT this week, which we did. 95% sure it doesn't get approved and pushed to prod until 2023.

You are not perfect.

You write code.

It stands to reason that you, an imperfect human, will at some point create imperfect code.

It is not a personal attack or even a claim of your own negligence that you wrote some bad code. It just means...

Take a DEEP breath...

Ready?

It means you are HUMAN.

Be kinder to yourself and to everyone else who makes a mistake. As long as you're learning and improving, you're gonna be okay.

@Myerman mmm, very nice

Pete Nelson boosted:

they put a christmas sweater on the t-rex at the national history museum in london and it's ridiculous and adorable

Picture of the animatronic t-rex model at the National History Muesume in London wearing a dark blue Christmas sweater that has stripes with different designs that go all the way around the sweater: one is of white snow against the dark blue, white snowflakes against a red stripe, green dinosaurs, a red stripe with white snow, green christmas trees against a white stripe, then the pattern repeats again.

I've been pondering this..a ๐Ÿงต
In part, cybersecurity is hard to grasp from any subjective poimt due to the complexity and sheer number of people involved in the software development lifecycle, compounded by the assumption that everyone else is executing perfectly. A story: 1/?
