Waiting on hold and the robo voice keeps saying “hold the line” and now I’m channeling my inner HODOR

NEWS: Colorado Public Radio to acquire @Denverite from Spirited @spiritedmediaco — medium.com/billy-penn/colorado-p…

@jgarber The audio thing is happening on my 2017 MacBook Pro too. My old 2015 MacBook Pro never had that problem.

@KyleCotter I indeed felt ncluded

@anthonydpaul I call it “After Learning the Price of Daycare”

It is so awesome to be able to just hook up one cable and have my external keyboard/mouse/display/ethernet connection ready to go. My old setup required hooking/unhooking 3 different cables. Bought an additional charger as well so one is always in my backpack ready to go.

Ended up going with the VAVA USB-C hub (amzn.to/2Et6Xnn) over the Satechi V2 Hub (amzn.to/2SEbw3x)

– Slightly cheaper
– @wirecutter recommended
– It does everything I need it to do (one probably half the price probably would have worked too)

@seclarke Since you’ve been at the same company since I’ve started my career. This is my 5th company change since @usnews

@seclarke Yea You’ll see on Monday.

I’ve been using SmartGit (syntevo.com/smartgit/) since forever but I think I’m going to start using @sourcetree now for a Git GUI.

Spent the day getting dotfiles setup github.com/kingkool68/dotfiles which is basically a fork of @mathias that everyone seems to do.

My favorite tweak is github.com/kingkool68/dotfiles/b… for SSH auto completion.

New blog post! “Responsive spacing with viewport and ch units” – chipcullen.com/responsive-spacin…

Under System Preferences –> General I check “Always” to show scrollbars so I can detect overflowing when doing web development. Otherwise it gets hidden until you hover over the area.

Ten years ago, I didn’t know what unit tests, version control, or continuous integration were.

Today, my code fails at each of these steps at least once a day.

Follow your dreams.

Oh yea I guess I get to invest in some dongles because this thing only has 4 USB-C ports (and a headphone jack, how unbrave of Apple). I hear this hub is a good buy. amzn.to/2XtnHUv

Coming from a 13″ MacBook Pro to a 15″ MacBook Pro this new computer is a little bit bigger physically but the screen is a great deal bigger. Should be nicer for multitasking with multiple windows.

I don’t mind the new butterfly keyscaps of the keyboard. It doesn’t feel that different to me right off the bat. Not looking forward to dust and crumbs getting lodged underneath them. Maybe there is a lame keyboard case cover to solve that problem by now.

Got a new computer for my new job. Figured I might as well tweet some thoughts as I go through and set things up.
