  • Unless you live near doug ford apparently. Bike lane makes his commute from the suburbs longer? Gotta go, even when there is a video of him saying how nice and safe he felt on this bike lanes or something along those lines.

    He and his brother seem like the most self centered jerks from here where we have plenty of similar ones to compare. Also he “needs” a private plane to travel. Dumbassess leading the charge on every country it seems.


  • As an alternative, we have found bulbs that can run tasmota with the MQTT integration to be perhaps the most reliable part of our smart home (as long as the hardware already had a descent CRI). I’ve heard good things about ESP home too, but we have not tried it.

    If someone has some light bulbs that are laggy (due to cloud integrations) or a pain to use due to software, its worth checking out of tasmota or esp home can be installed on them to locally pair with something like home assistant. It turned a regretful purchase into a nice addition.

    With that said, we don’t buy connected devices any longer without checking internet and cloud requirements first.











  • Had manager that wanted us to return error codes on a field of an API response along with an HTTP 200 because “errors bad”. It needed a few of us to make him understand how that worked against common design patterns and you still had to handle error codes since you didn’t know if the error would be coming from the app, web server, api gateway, local network (no internet), etc.
