Line manager: Uh, Boss?
Boss: Yes?
L: We finished that new run of the component. We sent it to QA.
B: Okay? Is there a problem?
L: I just got the report back. This batch, uh, didn't meet the tolerance goal.
B: [rubs temple] Okay, shit happens. I guess it goes out as 10%. That's not too bad a hit.
L: Uh, it didn't meet 10% tolerance, either.
B: What? How bad is it? 20%?
L: Uh...
B: It's *worse* than 20%?
L: Most of the parts are barely within 50% tolerance.
B: ...
L: So, uh, we should probably ...
B: Who was running the line?
L: ...
B: It was Chuck, wasn't it?
L: ... yes.
B: Was he drunk again?
L: I don't know. I sent him home.
B: Nobody's made these components in 50% tolerance for thirty years. Where am I going to sell them?
L: ...
B: Okay, AliExpress it is. Go to the noodle shop across the street and offer him some new boxes if we can have the ones his supplies come in. No way I'm putting these parts and the company name in the same room together.
(inspired by some parts I received today...)
Definition of done in a ticket I just added:
```
Develop and ship a world-dominating spreadsheet tool that both eclipses MS Excel and is not so dumb that is unable to parse the otherwise-universal ISO8601 date format.
Or, second best, emit dates in a format that Excel will recognise.
```
So this little temperature-based fan controller module...
Holes in the four corners of the PCB: 3.10mm, 3.18mm, 3.20mm, and 3.45mm.
And of the 8 resulting offsets from the top/bottom/left/right sides, no two are the same, even after taking the above into account... 
Only amateurs launch new releases at 5pm on friday. Which is to say, Speedify for Android version 14.8 is available NOW!! #trueprofessionalism #whatcouldgowrong #shipit

#link on my profile is to my #newsletter called Shitty First Drafts. It's a (currently on pause) #writing project where I just try to #ShipIt and see what comes of my stories. I can't promise anything good or that I'll post regularly, but I can promise it's all just for fun and that it will probably be a #SciFi story!

Built a little – maybe morbid? – site over the last few weeks:
https://life-expectancy-visualisation.vercel.app
Enter age & country and it tells you how many years you statistically have left to live.
Add more persons and the number of days you see them per year. It then calculates the total number of days you have left with them. 
Inspired by a Kurzgesagt video from last year. Put it on the back-burner until I needed a project where I could apply TypeScript as a learning excercise.
