Writing software isn’t for the existentially faint of heart. So much code, so much effort, yet a staggering amount is painfully pointless.

You have to find joy in the process or cling to irrational optimism that what you build might actually matter.
things just getting weirder and weirder in a good way

When you’re “thrilled” or “excited” on LinkedIn, I see you and I support you.
Coffee connoisseurship is for peacetime and low interest rates.

I’m drinking instant.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with work that doesn’t solve problems. It’s art or research or play, depending on where it’s conducted.
“👍” - I didn’t watch it and I don’t want to deal with you further rn

tis the season to wear fingerless gloves and frumpy oversized outerwear and feel like a counterculture beatnik
Today you get a pass to say something cringe or post something strange. Or to just be ineffective and weird. You don’t have to get it right today.

And it’s ok to laugh or work or watch a dumb show all while still feeling mad or sad or confused. Feelings on big changes don’t sort themselves out right away.
wish the west coast could just quiet quit
A lot of you were like 12 last time this shit happened.
I liked Quantum Leap. I will never be fully post-quantum.
If you're noticing chromium-based browsers failing to load websites that are loading fine in safari or firefox, try disabling chrome://flags/#enable-tls13-kyber – "TLS 1.3 post-quantum key agreement"

I haven't dug into what's going on. I'm all for being post-quantum, but I also like my internets to work.
Looking forward to wearing the TEE sensors that continuously attest that we’re unique living humans.
There’s an undercurrent of mental illness present in active internet communities.

Acceleration optimists might say this is just the future of the human psyche. That it’s not illness, it’s adaptation.

But what if it’s more like Area X and we’re in it so deep and it’s so complex that we can’t understand the extent of the disfigurement and destruction.
We’re lucky we got a bicycle for the mind. Could’ve been roller skates for the soul or a bobsled for the brainstem.
Neat trick here is *being* a supportive and understanding significant other.
If you’re offline, you’re out of pocket. If you’re a drummer, you’re in the pocket. But being in someone’s pocket? Not cool.
