I was listening to Ezra Debugging talk and he talked about the rubber duck thingy. It reminded me of a time my friend used me as one to debug his code ๐ญ. Of course I gave him some theories but now I remember it I had no context of it and I was suggesting based on the context he had and I was questioning his assumptions because I didnโt have the context and because of that I had no assumptions. We were able to get actionable tasks from the talk. Though I was a bit useful, but I was still the rubber duck ๐คฆโโ๏ธ .

Does anyone know anything about AI in browser things??? More about AI agents in browser how they work and things like that?
So I was planning to take partial time off day next week Tuesday because I have some appointment to attend to.
I asked my boss whether I should mark that day as a time off day or excused day. Context: if I take a partially time off day itโll be deducted from the time off days Iโve this year and same goes for excused day from my excused days.
So my boss calls me and says you sure you wanna take a time off day or excused day? I was like do I have another choice ๐. Then he said you can mark on your calendar that youโve a private appointment from this to this and that should be fine.
Me being me are you sure boss ๐? And he was like yep I just donโt want you to waste your time off days and excused days on smtg that takes less than half a day.
These little things are the things that makes me wanna work to prove that Iโm worth his trust. May be we should apply this if weโre in some leadership position whether youโre a big manager or small team lead. The principle applies.
But donโt spoils those brats ๐.

I'm working from home today because my gas providers decided to install a smart gas meter reader so I don't have to send my meter reads every month. Which is really nice of them. The engineer is white but he speaks black istg ๐.
