Sounds like Captain Stillman in "Stripes". "Coordinates? Just fire that weapon, soldier."
(I liked Quantum Leap.)

When I binged it all a few years back some seemed to be missing.

Watching "Die Hard" (first one, but others are good too) another great movie.
Crocodile Dundee is also a favorite.
Watched it last night.

Just throw the code against the wall whatever sticks goes to production.

So that's why they call it "spaghetti code"!

I have seen something similar with an umbrella upside down.

Haha, it's obvious this boss has no idea what he's talking about!
We use F5, not enter

If only he hadn't got stuck in the 22nd Century[^] for so long trying to fix that theme tune.

How does Quantum Leap hold up?
I know it's a bit of a cult classic (and that some people would take offense at merely calling it a "bit"), but I've never watched it...and wondering if it's still worth a watch in 2024...
I was still a kid/preteen in the 80s, and have long concluded some shows--no matter how big a hit they were back then--have aged gracefully...others...not so much.

Not bad.

No not honey the code witch - honey as in referring to MS....
So, it's Sunday 0 dark early - I don't sleep much these days, but I have started the habit on Sunday morning to check all my VMs and other systems for updates. I'm doing this deliberately to avoid getting randomly nuked...
Every VM and system times out trying to get updates.
Trying to live in the MS ecosystem is like living on the Serengeti - you never know when you are going to get eaten.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, on the update page, I read this: "Windows Update is committed to help reduce carbon emissions." Clicking on the Learn More button, I get this drivel: "Windows Update is now carbon aware" - that's the title of the article. If you read down, MS has decided it's a good idea to turn off all of these devices, etc, yada yada. Great, now I need to go in and change all of my settings so that Windows 11 does NOT turn off all of my usb devices talking to hardware.
I really think there is a "Drop Managers on Their Head" department somewhere in Microsoft. I have got to get back to Unix development.

I'm confused, are these two stories related?
I'm guessing not and was just reading too much into it.
Regardless: If you have multiple VMs, have a look at WSUS. It's trivial to set up, it'll keep itself up to date, you'll save a ton of bandwidth, and it's up to you to decide whether something should be deployed or not. By the time you're ready to deploy, you should have the update already downloaded locally (even if there's some outage that lasts some time).
