I waited in line and shared a table/Apple employee with a guy who was just genuinely excited about getting a new phone, seemingly out of the cynical sphere of devs and Apple people (me very much included), and it was really refreshing and nice. I wanna be more like that guy.

it goes further: Yu Suzuki had a oh-shit-the-boss-is-here button installed on his devkits that'd corrupt the screen and make the game look visibly "unfinished", in order to keep his boss from trying to force the game out the door ASAP

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen π§΅

My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

My desk has weird ergonomics and I don't know why. I have my monitor on an arm, an adjustable height desk, and an aeron chair but somehow still feel like I get into uncomfortable positions. It's probably my complete lack of posture

One time in college I wasn't sure what to order so I pointed at a plate someone was picking up from a counter at a local Chinese place. Owner said what it was, couldn't hear, go w/ the flow. Spiciest and most delicious noodle dish I ever had. Tried a lot over 4 years, never found it on the menu.

This is interesting to me as to the stated goals of bluesky (open/federated?) are somewhat antithetical to the value of "publishing her cartoons exclusively". While I don't think Mark has a financial investment in bluesky yet, it shows how money thinks about things they are emotionally invested in.
