Everyone quit. The designers. The PMs. The guy who only ever talked about his standing desk. So guess what? I’m the CTO now. www.miserablyemployed.com/blogs/news/i...

www.miserablyemployed.com/products/hr-... Wear it to your next "confidential" conversation. Watch the room get real quiet.

I'm the CTO now. www.miserablyemployed.com/shop/p/im-th... No budget, no team, no plan… just vibes and root access.Designed for founders, freelancers, and the last developer standing. Soft enough to sleep in after a 3am deployment, bold enough to wear while explaining why the site is down (again).

Because nothing says productivity like reading Jira tickets out loud. www.miserablyemployed.com/shop/p/daily...

I've been building a productivity tool for content writing teams called Vewrite (vewrite.com). The problem that I'm trying to solve is that when you are writing a lot of content as a team you often lose track of the state of things because it is passed through email or google docs (or whatever).

Let's take a long, hard look at why Vewrite is built the way that it is. We dive deep into what structured workflows are, why not using them is dangerous, and what Vewrite's default writing workflow is. vewrite.com/articles/why... #writing #content #contentcreation #devrel #marketing

Reading documentation is a skill that can be learned. Let's talk about how to do it effectively so that you retain the most knowledge in the shortest amount of time. www.ramijames.com/thoughts/rea... #developers #devrel #documentation #technicalwriting

We've been experimenting with improving how our beta testers actually get their work done with our product. We've done a write-up going through the product process, illuminating how we think about what makes for a better integration between workflows, states, and the content produced. Take a look!

Being confidently stupid is an addiction.

Anytime someone in charge gives a blanket statement that "x group are lazier and dumber than another", it's a play to turn the groups against each other so the person in charge can take advantage of the situation.

I think that you should be making functional experiments and not clickable prototypes as part of your development process. It's not enough to just have a design that gives you an inkling of how it will feel.

Focaccia was delicious.

@cyberalien.dev did you just deploy an update to Iconify? If so, it is substantially less usable than it was.

Just look at that pancake. Look at it.

The whole "move fast and do a shit job" is laughably stupid. It's pure incompetence and egotism and a product of excess salary in the market. The right way doesn't take any longer than doing it the shitty way. Successful startups focus on extreme minimalism, not on doing the worst possible job.

Do not "believe"; learn, try, experience and then understand.

I deactivated my Twitter account. Makes me feel better, just a little bit.

The core editing experience of Vewrite.com has come a long way this past month. It's very mobile friendly now.

As climate change progresses, the world will get less rational and more religious as a response. That's not a good thing.

The real solution is two-fold:

Hello! I'm building a tool for content writing teams and I'd love to ask you guys some pointed questions about your workflows, processes, hangups, glitches, and what would make your lives easier. Help me find you! #contentcreators #writers #devrel

Hello. I'm looking to connect with other software developers. Who's here? Who do I follow?

Am I the only developer that has deep dread when making big, structural changes to a code base? I need to spend days psyching myself up to do it.

Does it look like I suck? www.ramijames.com

Another day, another 50+ jobs applied for. Sigh.

My experience tells me that while people say that they want the truth, in reality, they do not.

This is how I feel on the inside, too. Foggy.

In every company there is an in-group who succeed (even if the company fails) and an out-group who get shoved aside.

Please, for the love of god, please stop asking these kinds of questions. Don't make me lie. I just want to be honest.

I expanded the vegetable garden yesterday and today. Planted winter seedlings, broccoli, cabbage, fennel, and lettuce. Felt good.

This is how I feel about tea and coffee. I don't just want the drink. I want the quiet few minutes that it takes to work through the process of making them.

“The problem with the war . . . are the metrics. It is a situation where if you can’t count what’s important, you make what you can count important. So in this particular case what you could count was dead enemy bodies.” -James Willbanks, ‘The Vietnam War‘

Thank you to Mr. Kurtz for bringing us BASIC. It was my first programming language, learned on C64 in the mid 80s, and it set me on my path. RIP you legend. computerhistory.org/blog/in-memo...

Greed is an infectious disease.

Is "barely surviving" a hobby?

We all die alone.

Lower Decks is the only thing that brings me joy, and they are taking that away from me. Monsters.

It feels like I swam really hard out into the ocean, and now I realize I have no energy left, no plan, and I’m not even sure where the shore is

Nobody gives a shit, but I'm going to keep going anyway. Fuck it.

In the last 9 months, I've committed some bit of working code every single day. My goal was to level up as fast and as hard as possible in the hopes that I'd be employable again. Apparently nothing is enough. I'm just worn out. I feel like laying down and giving up. I don't care.

I'm very bad at making rational decisions.

I spent a bunch of time improving how progress in workflows are shown throughout the app. There is a lot more consistency now, and within the single deliverable where you are working, there is now more context. Sign up for the waiting list today at vewrite.com!

I'm going to quiet quit life.

I'm sure the girls from 2 girls, 1 cup are going to have a dating show any day now.

Isn't it rational to not want to pay taxes for supporting the worst parts of humanity?
