    ahhh... when every command which takes longer than 10s results in 15 min of lost productivity. I might just make this a prompt command so the terminal is always focused when it finishes.

    : If you're executing a long running script in on Mac OS X, add "; open -a Terminal" at the end and your Terminal window will refocus when it's done running. Then you can read your Twitter timeline or watch cat videos without forgetting to check back in on your script.

    I used to work in a room with my boss and I mentioned that she wasn't laughing when she LOL'd in chat. From then on she would look up, stare at me, and loudly say a single "HA" with a deadpan face after every single "LOL".

    Having a fuck-you fund is very important. It will allow you to make calm and well-reasoned decisions about your future, and you will never be held hostage by anyone. It's hard to build one, but if you can put a little bit into it each month, it will give you a lot of power.

    I just dropped an AirPod ear bud in a bucket of concrete. Will it survive?
