I think about this tweet a lot. Especially lately.

How do you balance chores, errands, work, career building side projects, relationships, and basic bio functions like food and sleep? I'm not dating and don't have kids, so I don't have that excuse, but also don't have any one to share the responsibility and I'm tuckered.

Also, those groups I closed... I forgot about them, so those don't count... Right?

6 days until I get the keys to my new townhouse and 14 days worth of packing left. What's the mashed up emotion for excited, overwhelmed, nervous, and exhausted? 😜

Today in physical therapy I had a direct current run through my entire body with a specialized TENS machine with electrodes on my feet and neck. Now I know how Frankenstein's monster felt. 😄

No one told me the hardest thing about software engineering was compartmentalizing the state of the world so you can focus.

I'm starting to wonder how many people I interact with on a daily basis don't know how to carry on conversations with me because I'm not an AI echo chamber?

I'm fairly certain Dante left out the circle of hell for people who don't follow process. I think it's right after fraudsters and before the betrayers and mutineers.

In unhealthy relationships, people walk on eggshells to avoid conflict. They tell you what you want to hear. In healthy relationships, people have the courage to address conflict. They tell you what you need to hear. Silence protects fragile ties. Candor strengthens real bonds.

Feeling immensely vindicated about calling AI the new DotCom Bubble over a year ago. Note: The internet was still powerful and amazing and changed lives even as the bubble burst, but was maybe a little too hyped and marketed to maintain a market stability? web.archive.org/web/20250820...

Hot flashing like I'm personally responsible for climate change while avoiding an argument with AI developers that a validation should be true or false and a third option is not really necessary. Happy Friday Eve.

Ok... I've been putting it off for far too long... What password keepers are y'all using and why? It's time for me to start caring and using less brain power to remember my last 12 passwords to roughly a gazillion sites.

Someone explain to me why I, the non-customer facing education content creator, know more about these accounts, their goals, and the people in them than their AEs.

Also a comp sci girlie and a gamer who has these stories. Same in math too, often as I was helping explain a problem set or why women didn't need extra - just acceptance and inclusion.

My 70yr mom is such a total badass. With 8 broken ribs she's out here doing physical therapy and car shopping because "we've got stuff to do". And still making sure I drink enough water.

Your images might be costing more energy than you think. 📸⚡ This post breaks down the hidden carbon footprint of media files—and why optimizing them is a green developer’s first step. 👉 dev.to/hardik_b2d8f...

I don't typically have a lot of meetings in my current role, so I'm not sure if I should be relieved or take it personally when 5 out of 6 for the week are canceled.

Unpopular opinion: Nickelback is pretty great and only suffered from releasing their most meh songs as singles.

Concussion: Noun. When a sneeze is an out of body experience. Happy Monday, everyone! #autoAccident #allergies

When you joke about upgrading your car and decide to go look just for fun... and then get rear ended on the way and your car is totaled.

Spotify shuffle has decided today is the day for late 90s emo and punk. This is out of the 3k songs in my liked list spanning from Classical to Death Metal in probably 5 languages? I'm not mad about, but it does bring hindsight about my early teenage years.

It's almost like humans are more critical than we thought.... Critical thinking. Critical functional context. Critical empathy. Happy Monday, everyone! Stay critical.

Well this is some fun news, though not shocking. Can't wait for part 2 about developers. www.yahoo.com/news/chatgpt...

Fun Fact - when you put too much creamer in your coffee and then let it sit for too long, the last few sips are almost straight creamer.

Good advice from the @nat1advice.tbm.games account.

Ever wanted to try D&D? Your kiddos interested in joining? Bonding adventure for your work team? Give it a go! #InternationalDayOfPlay #shiftLeft #teamWork

You know what I love? When a question is asked of you and the problem is solved and then the next day it becomes a huge discussion because that person shopped around for answers and now you have to get 7 people on the same page. I haven't even had coffee yet...

90% of my QA career has been updating applications to a new form. The directive is usually "it should behave just like the old version". I always say I'm not doing that. 1. What issues are you bringing in the code base? 2. What changes are intentional? Save yourself a headache. Define requirements

Created a 15 minute video on mapping various Salesforce field types just to realize on playback that the mic was muted the whole time. How's your day?

Sure, AI may be an environmental disaster and produce mid outcomes in cases where it doesn't straight up lie, but at least it's extremely unprofitable.

Had a dream where I said this and I think it's pretty good, so I'm sharing it with y'all: "Sometimes I think the worst thing to come out of Pandora's Box was The Audacity." You're welcome. 😅

I love writing instructions on the importance of naming conventions with screenshots that have both British and American English 😭

Picard management tip: If your crew is afraid to talk to you, they won't always give you the information you need. Be approachable.

Watched "The Net" to remind myself not to live purely online just to realize that her problems only started after she went where the people are. This rant brought to you by a quick trip to Walmart.

What... and I cannot stress this enough... the fuck. Happy Friday, y'all. Hope you treat yourself to something that heals your soul this weekend.

"Narcissism is a learning disability." -Odafin Tutuola

Nothing quite like starting your day with a tornado and a dumpster fire. The tornado never touched down here. All is well with that... Now on to the dumpster fire. 😭

The time has come to, “Work slow and fix stuff.” Maybe then we will begin to right the imbalances that the preceding philosophy has wrought.

Dragon Age : The Veilguard is such a beautiful game. Diverse, full characters with side chatter that show even when you don't agree on everything, supporting others really can save the world. I defeated a god by choosing the right discourse! And the graphics? Stunning. 10/10 - needed this game

You know it's bad when I've started looking at everything through the lens of malicious compliance.

“Performing” teams aren’t teams without conflict. They are teams that have so much practice with conflict they make navigating it look easy.

Living in a world of no accountability and willful double-think is exhausting. Focusing on the things I can control - one step at a time. Happy Monday, friends. May your week bring you joy.

I really need to see dancers of the Bandari and Irish Stepdance styles sharing choreography to the song Azizam.

My week has been mostly me asking "what is this" and the answer being "it has always been there". That is not an answer, friend and begs the bigger question - why was it developed a second or third time?

Life at 40 has two modes. I need a blanket and sweater. I need shorts and air conditioning. There is no inbetween and the weather makes no difference.

Two veterans in front of me at the pharmacy lamenting how they left the military because they had to watch what they said once women were allowed. "It's amazing we don't have pink tanks now." FFS.

One of my favorite fantasy series is The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind. The first book is Wizard's First Rule. That rule? "People are stupid. They believe things mainly because they either want them to be true or fear them to be true." Why is it so applicable 30 years later? 😭 Scary out there.

There are actors that are criminally under appreciated. Silas Weir Mitchell is one of them.
