one of my mother's favorite poems 
as someone who often was a wild-man in daze of yore, i have always found a deep something in the fourth stanza:
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night. now, tamed (broken ?) by age, i am left with a ghost of a roar
i'm sorry to say mother, like Dylan Thomas, went out not raging, or grieving, but, in an alcoholic stupor.

No one on my team is working on the same stuff as I am! 
Let me tell you, that makes for a very poor code review experience!

Or the best code review experience! No one knows your code better than you, so go over it carefully with your rubber duck.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, you only have to do three lines of code a day - how hard can it be? 
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, ahem, I do more than that!

Well yeah - but the extra one is just a comment ...

One of the main but often overlooked points of a code review, is that someone else knows your code.
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly!
Works best when they start already knowing a bit of it, unfortunately!
If, only, for motivation...

Bitcoin heading for worst yearly start since at least 2012[^]
Quote: Cryptocurrencies are likely to remain under pressure as the Fed reduces its liquidity injections,” said Jay Hatfield, chief executive of Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “Bitcoin could end 2022 below $20,000.
Currently, it's at just under $40,000 - but if lots of you sell, it'll plummet. If you don't, you could lose a packet. If few of you sell, it might be stable or even recover. Decisions, decisions ...
I'm not gloating, I'm just glad I have never been tempted to "invest" in crypto.
Do you have any? Or do you think it's just another pyramid / Ponzi scheme at heart?

Genuinely I have no cryptocurrency of any form, and neither does Herself.
Just not a natural gambler, I guess.

Yeah, I try not to "invest" in "products" where the tweet of a single billionaire can make the value plummet.

It's about 2.5% of my portfolio. I don't think it's a pyramid or Ponzi scheme, but it's definitely speculative. Some say that it will replace gold as a store of value, and others say it will go to epsilon. I lean towards it going to epsilon but can also see it going to the moon.
Well, the world's gold stock is about 200K tonnes, or about an ounce per person. There will only be 21M bitcoins, or about 1/300th of a bitcoin per person. So if I have 300 ounces of gold, I can hedge it with 1 bitcoin.

Fractions of them, but forgot the password.

Come on, this isn't a church.
It's not, it doesn't require "more idiots" to dance.
Also, inflation.

Nope! The closest I get to gambling is Premium Bonds.

I don't think it's 'structured' like a pyramid scheme. It's much closer to Dutch Tulip Mania - when the price of Tulip bulbs vastly exceeded their intrinsic value. And then the bubble burst. 
P.S. Before our Dutch friends take a shot at me. I don't subscribe to the view that Tulip Mania was a country-wide and country wrecking thing. But I do think it is one of the earliest examples of a market bubble bursting.
