About this Episode
In this episode, rachel and Kendall talk about:
- More than you wanted to know about grocery store ginger purchases
- How some people use the term "a couple" to mean something other than exactly 2 and that they are Wrong
- Examples of technologies that suck but people still use
- Being caught up in the glories of the past (rachel would like to point out that she used a sharpie to black out Gene Simmons on her KISS shirt)
- The downsides of Agile/continuous shipping of things vs Waterfall (warning, heresy inside)
- Blaming growing inflexibility as one gets older
- Unselfawareness in the face of serial shittiness
- Two reasons: arrogance or laziness
- How one gets stuck, how to know if you're stuck
- Recommendations:
- rachel: The Great British Sewing Bee (tv show, if you liked GBBO, you'll probably like this too)
- rachel: The Alienist (kinda gruesome, moody period crime drama)
- Kendall: fail videos from user mrmrmike on YouTube (great way to learn things NOT to do)
