I feel rather loved today. It's good to have friends.

Sigh. Up until a year ago, I had fully weaned myself off reddit. Then I got accused of "quiet-quitting on reddit." This alarmed me, so I checked to see if my account had been hacked. And now it's a full @#%@# year later and I'm still trying to break the habit.

i made this at 2am

I don't have any problem saying no. Y'all just have a problem listening.

"You are sometimes cooperative but also prioritize your own needs and boundaries." Gee... could it be maybe that I've encountered well more than my fair share of untrustworthy people? Could be...

I'm old enough now that it is time to admit I will be an angry little hornet until the day I die.

and it's only tuesday...

Huh. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

burnout is like some sort of tympanic reflex but for your soul

A stitch in time saves nine.

Some people just aren't wired to live in a post-scarcity, economically and socially stable world.

Some days it takes longer for my self-loathing for letting shit get under my skin to reach critical mass than others. Really not a reliable motivator.

I have no ego. I just want to be right. XD

Just got served an ad for something called "7 Rules of Power." I've done most of those things and I'm starting to suspect that it doesn't work for women. Just a hunch.

The downside of distribution of labor is having to rely on others to keep up their end of the bargain.

Whew. I am really having an off week.

I need a me to take care of me so that I can do all of the things I would do if I didn't have to take care of myself.

Sure is difficult to measure the productivity of your employees when your MO is to throw them into the deep end of the pool.

Learning to Fly is some kind of endurance test, right?

waugh.

Today!

As much as I dunk on Java... WSDLs were ahead of their time. All web frameworks should be able to dump a spec.

yay my ears just cleared out

Just saw a comedian say "If vaccines caused autism then America would have trains" and I almost spit out my drink.

See you tonight at Twisted Spoke (501 N Ogden). If there is an unreasonable amount of sky water, check the back room. Otherwise, head to the roof.

ChiSec -> Day after tomorrow. Or if you, like me, need numbers: 17th July. As usual, we'll be at Twisted Spoke @ 501 N Ogden Ave some time around 18:30 +/- /n/ minutes.

ChiSec is this THURSDAY. AKA 17th July (where did the time go?) Twisted Spoke @ 501 N Ogden Ave 18:30

DO NOT UPDATE CODEX TO 0.6.0. It no longer works and I'm being prompted to send a picture of my "government-issued ID" to some identify veriication service. And don't ever ask me why I don't update shit again.

I live in a house where we do math for fun.

TIL Vibe coding doesn't do CSS. And to be fair... kinda don't blame it.

Amplifying the call from Marc Delcroix and co. over the weekend: the team are looking to verify/refute a potential impact on #Saturn on July 5th, 09:00-09:15UT. Videos taken by amateur observers at that time might hold the key. This 📸 credit: Mario Rana pvol2.ehu.eus/pvol2/news/v...

As migraine season draws to a close, I am finding that I have lost all of my ability to pretend to be a normal person and the anxiety that I feel around anticipating punishments for being myself feels like a large, spinning beachball in my gut.

I sicced Codex on the code that I wrote for a challenge for my previous job. Not the second challenge (the one that turned out to be something they were already building), but the first one that got rejected. It's found no problems so far. So either that rejection was bullshit or Codex is flawed.

I'm a woman who has survived in "tech" for >30 years. If you have to wonder why I am irascible, you might be the problem.

OH: "You smell like a coin that was just fished out of a pond."

If Peggy dies, I am -done- with Guilded Age. Even watching Carrie Coon crush it to the moon and back is not enough for me to forgive writing Denee Benton off the show.

We're meeting at Twisted Spoke (501 N Ogden) on Thursday around 18:30-20:30. I'd add something witty or clever but the heat has cooked my brain.

why do i do these things to myself

1. Clear your calendar for Thursday. 2. Come to Twisted Spoke after 18:30. 3. 501 N Ogden Ave in case you forgot.

Well done, @anthropic.com. Seriously. <3

Sorry Jim Collins. I couldn't help myself.

I honestly cannot tell if I'm just carrying around a huge bag full of bitter pills from a long career of being discriminated against or if I've always been a covert narcissist.

Fell into metal detecting YouTube for a while. Every time they find a coin, I always feel really sorry for the person who dropped it. Pockets are an under-appreciated invention.

After reading the spectrum of opinions on AI/ML/NLP, I have come to this conclusion: these services are digital librarians. For as long as humans have been recording information, we have had to build information management systems. Every system we've built has hit capacity for scaling, and...

Maybe 4 or 5 years ago, I got dinged on a code sample for not having good enough unit tests. Now I can make gpt-4o-mini write them for me. Guess if you hold out long enough something will come to your rescue.

I have been watching whatever this is for maybe 40 minutes now...
