I use tickets to offload my memory and ideas for later thought. And as bonus points it can effectively prevent people from gobbling up only the work they want to do and leaving the shit for everyone else.

ferrets seems to be having a good time on tiktok at the moment. So cute and so wholesome. Not political right? Ferrets are a weirdly political issue in some areas of the USA. It's pretty hard to have anything be politics free when the

if you've seen tailess cats in the UK (I know you refer to the wider commonwealth), they would not be mutilated, at least legally, like that. tail docking, ear docking, declawing, descenting (of ferrets), is illegal unless for the heal

the entire programming team is a bunch of 'loan wolves'? I'd say, yeah, that's a red flag. You aren't discussing issues and making decisions with input even from your own team members?
