    The Ambien Walrus waltzed back into my life in top style, and we had a GRAND time last night. We made and ate most of a hot dog at 3am. I know it was 3am because right after that we decided to practice my electric guitar, and my wife came in and told us what time it was.

    So last night I started Ambien ER, no doubt short for the room I'm likely to wind up in.

    THIS year, they added a new twist: they've changed the formulary. (Meaning: the boxes you must tick and hoops through which you must jump to get the med approved.) Now it's not enough to have tried and failed Ambien. Now I must have failed on THREE DIFFERENT KINDS of Ambien.

    This has happened every year for the past five years. Every. Single. Year.

    I call my doctor again. "They covered it last year; there should be a reason. Call them and ask WHY it hasn't been approved?" Doctor has his MA call the insurance. Now this is why I said it feels like control fraud: When the MA calls, insurance just says "...ok. We'll cover it."

    So every year in January, my Rx doesn't get refilled. Pharmacy says "Your insurance requires a PA." I call my doctor. He submits a PA. It gets denied. No reason given; just denied. That should mean full stop, no meds for you. But it doesn't; it just means they're hassling me.

    Thing is, Belsomra is patented. Read: it's expensive. My insurance, which is otherwise quite excellent, runs what feels like a control fraud scheme on me. NOTE: This is my opinion, not a legally actionable claim. Stand down, libel lawyers.

    I have been taking Belsomra for the past five years. It is, in my opinion, God's gift to a good night's sleep. It's not a hypnotic; it doesn't turn off your "be awake" without making you sleepy. It turns ON your "I want to be asleep" and your "I want to be awake" just gives up.

    In related news, I'm riding the walrus again. I am super not happy about this.

    You know all those things they say you can do on the back of tampon boxes? Horse riding, swimming, skydiving? They really need to put that same list on the back of every bottle of Ambien.

    this is fantastic. It's the number one thing on how I do code reviews, too

    Accessibility features don’t just improve the lives of people with long-term impairments. They impact nearly 100% of your users at some point in their lives. You shouldn’t need any additional justification to build a11y into your software, but it’s worth remembering.

    LOL, side note: CW just told me "Um, I'm not sure if I should take credit or admit that the line was autogenerated." I laughed and said "ALWAYS TAKE THE WIN." (I'm only posting thing in case somebody else realizes it's autogenned. Kudos Rails team for making my CW look great!)

    Brains are optimized to criticize and find flaws (survival relied on it). The best strategy I've seen for cultivating a culture of encouragement is to over-activate when something good is done -- and let my example encourage others. It's slow, but people catch on eventually.

    So, I like this idea and you should do it, but aside from appealing to other senior devs to do this I don't know how to encourage it. Help me hack this: how could someone on the receiving end ask a teammate for praise without coming across as fishing for compliments?

    Bonus - If you are reviewing code from a new teammate, a junior, a woman, a person of color, a person with impostor syndrome, or any other person that stereotypically has to work against the suspicion of incompetence, you can literally affect their career. PLEASE DO THIS.

    Code Reviewers - it's easy to go pure negative/nitpicking, even if you're using helpful/constructive language. if you see something you like, SAY SOMETHING. It makes people's days. Today I had a total in a PR.

    Hey tweeps, crazy crazy question: I want to create an experiment for measuring cognitive load in software. But I think I need eye movement tracking gear to do it. If you are knowledgeable about this and can help me and/or talk me down, please hit me up

    This thread. SO MUCH THIS THREAD. If you know me at all you know I have my own (probably hot) take on some of this but she just says all of it better than me. Go read.
