No idea what else to do now. Woke up at 1:37am and then 4:06 wide awake . What sort of leader am I ? What sort of captain do you call yourself when you are unable to provide security ?

The stress of not knowing. When all you see and feel are tumbleweed is distressing . It is like layered stress levels. Do you know how long you can remain here?

Not sleeping at night The bed bugs are bite Cunts of the industry are shite We tried with all a might But rules were never there The game is rigged Dear Woke up 2am Woke up 5am What was the melody? What’s the next verse? Where is the chorus of this song?

Oh heave off and leave me the alone

Tired of this seeming time of ageism and racism. Stick it where the sun don’t shine!

While discussing the advertising industry, in a TalkTV interview in October 2025, MP for Reform, Sarah Pochin said that a caller who complained about the "demographics" of advertising was "absolutely right" and "it drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people". 🤔

For the futuristic agentic #agenticai #genAI thing I notice the proponents talk down or brush over the so called “down sides”. I come from a working class , I suffer ageism. I also can never change the colour of my skin. Am I and people like automated out of existence ?

The job market is dead. I am reaching the point where I think I have to pack this in. It is so depressing. I would pick another career than software development... choose a field where interections are stronger and people don't stab you in the back with a jealousy, egoism and elitism.
