Coffee with an absurd amount of sugar

Someone should make sure to take that snail’s keys before he leaves the bar.

You monster

I switched from developing apps for sale to developing apps for use by internal customers. The dynamic shift was huge. I was always promoting fixes that would make our app more useful (and reducing technical debt) for our customers and I would get told no. Why? Because those fixes would often reduce income from services and maintenance.

Fuck that. The second I switched to producing for internal customers I was able to implement those changes and cut out huge amounts of shit that was left in place purely to cause external customers to purchase service contracts.

Customers DO know what’s right. VP of Sales DOES know what makes them money. The two things are often polar opposites.

Anecdote: I have an IDE that only works on Windows that can build applications for Linux. I use MinGW as part of the packaging process (AND I FUCKING HATE IT OH MY GOD. All of the pathing is broken!). As of yesterday I learned that WSL is a thing that might replace MinGW and make some processes of packaging for linux targets a little easier.

Honestly if it frees me from MinGW I would be happy

I do feel a dom/sub relationship with Linux right now as I try to build some flatpaks - so that is very fitting.
