Goodbye weed hill!

I feel like being hired for my willingness and ability to deal with a 2k+ GitHub issue and 300+ PR backlog is some sort of achievement 😅

I'm doing a thing for Exercism that would be very simple in Ruby but all of my ideas about how to do it in Go are very awkward

Go requires an added package just to sort things?

What are your favorite Go resources for filling in the gaps between the intro tutorials and regular use? Especially interested in learning conventions and common approaches

I planted some things

My arms are very tired

Progress? #gardening

I’m so proud of my evil plant removal skills I’m posting this everywhere

I feel like a scythe would also be a viable choice

I spent the morning playing find and replace on a fork of a gem after a friend mentioned the problematic naming (and maybe if I give it another hour or two I can get all the tests to pass)

In case you wondered, this is what I’m up against

Sometimes I think it would be nice if the house had a test suite that would verify that all of the doors are locked, appliances off, etc (for reducing anxiety) but then I think about the inevitable bugs and edge cases

I’ve been trying to deal with some house and garden stuff for months, and it’s like... If I have money for this, I’m sick. I get well, I get fired. My brother’s RV is still blocking the driveway because I need money *and* a willing tow company. I don’t drive and I don’t know how to get the broken furniture out of our basement. Now there’s even a dead squirrel blocking the outside trash can. Wtf.
