Q: It looks like it's finally time

Well, somehow I didn't see this coming for a while, but it looks like it's the best time to move on after all these years. I've been here since 2013, which I believe was two years after CR was founded. Not long after that, I noticed that a previous mod was gone, and then I eventually took his pl...

Q: Mat's back, blame the monkey

When I put down my mug 18 months ago, I promised I'd stick around, and I did. I've been keeping a distant eye on CR and meta, while remaining in our Rubberducking dev chat, and monitoring vba posts on both Code Review and Stack Overflow. Seeing rolfl's resignation and the bleeding of several SE ...

Some of you may have noticed that I let my 6-year streak of daily appearances on Code Review lapse earlier this month, and my participation has been minimal since then. I was thinking of writing a goodbye message on Meta CR, but decided that it wouldn't be worth the effort.

Chat profiles have a parent account. Yours is your Stack Overflow account. You should notice a [change] button which you can use to change to another SE site. My moderator one is Code Review so if I changed to another SE site I think I can lose my moderator privileges in chat (and profile). Just answering how "How is the username aliased?" could actually happen. I just use Firefox containers

Q: Request to add an extra moderator given the 2021 election results

Given we just had the election, after seeing how close the final results were (the final elimination was a margin of 0.04%), I would like to formally request that Mast be instated as a moderator. Additionally, I want to note: there is precedent for adding more moderators than open spots, and I be...

Why DRY is not perfect, how longer code can be simpler code and how tests allow refactoring without understanding the code.
