mfw someone asks me to make yet another dashboard

reading about LSMtrees is breaking my brain in a good way though

this distinction is helpful for me because people say "technical" as if it's an innate quality, but imo it's moreso about time invested

i never quite knew what it meant when someone would say "this person is technical" or "that person is not technical" and i've finally decided being "technical" means you've taken the time to understand how something works in depth

it feels so good to be back in portland

i think it's brave of op to ask honest questions on a platform that is generally committed to punishing difference in thought this isn't a pro eugenics post but if someone is generally curious and wants to understand, there are better ways to respond than HOW CAN YOU ASK THIS, YOU PIECE OF SHIT

Get Colman Domingo into costuming immediately, we start shooting the first scene tomorrow! 🎬

update: i did not go to bed on time

i'm so glad i get to go to bed on time tonight

when i first got reorged my director made it seem like i just didn't make the cut because i wasn't good enough but as of this month that org doesn't even exist anymore lol

i both hate and love oncall hate: because it sucks love: because i understand at a visceral level what is pissing our users off

common people was such a great black mirror episode i think about that one a lot

sometimes people want to make a weird, interesting but silly movie and they're not trying to solve society's ills - even if some of those ills make it into the content

i see quite a lot of people on here did not like the film, which fair - everyone is allowed their tastes but ya know, sometimes a film is just a film

welp i guess it's time to have apple pie for breakfast

bugonia was a wild movie

this year, i'm engaging in the brave act of eating a reasonable amount of food for thanksgiving

private chats with verified identities are my new social media platforms

honestly the more advanced ai-generated content becomes, the less interested i am in social media as a whole don't get me wrong, the tech is impressive but as a human, i go to social media seeking connection from other humans

“Butterflies rest when it rains because heavy drops can damage their wings. It’s okay to rest during the storms in your life. You’ll fly again when the skies clear.”

i am thrilled to announce i survived holiday oncall prayers to the xmas oncall 🙏🏿

I’m gonna have some fun!

what you gonna do when you get out of jail

every now and then i get a nightmare about my animals starving to death because i forgot to feed them (thanks to that ONE HOARDERS EPISODE) and it's kinda hilarious bc if i am just two seconds late for breakfast my animals will shriek bloody murder yeah brain, not a probable occurrence

i forgot i agreed to cover oncall this week 🤡

Me crossfaded while yall argue:

"History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost for many Americans, ranging from ostracism to death. Those in power recognized that oppression is best maintained by keeping the masses illiterate, and those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation."

zero-based budgeting is a lifesaver but i always feel broke like damn i literally just got paid but i already "spent" it all

telfar came out with some really comfy fits

cool job at a very special computer company - write TypeScript and Rust - everyone makes $235k - fully remote - everything is open source

A PSA to my peers looking for jobs right now: Scammers are definitely aware of the job market right now, which super sucks. Be cautious and pay attention to little details, validate before you provide personal information.

the service i built was featured in today's town hall 🥺

hugops to github dot com

The Financial Times named GILDED RAGE one of its best tech books of 2025. www.ft.com/content/af55...

If it works, you should be able to explain it in simple terms.

i love seeing people in love 😌

the hardest part of being social in 2025 is the myriad of ways one can contact me it's too much

like y'all really love to tussle on here

sometimes a post is not Discourse and it's just vibes

what's kinda annoying about bluesky right now is that someone can start a fun thread like "give me your most woke opinions" and when a person shares their most woke opinion for fun there is immediate HOW DARE YOU THIS IS NOT A PRACTICAL POLICY backlash for what is essentially shower thoughts

i've noticed my confidence as a software engineer has increased immensely over the past few months it's like a switch went off and my brain realized, "actually? we know what we're doing"

i'm on my last day oncall and got a high priority alert this morning while walking my dog and feeling the (albeit, small) panic in my body helped lessen it and i was able to acknowledge it, but continue my walk without being caught up in anxiety

over the past few days my emotions have been less than ideal, but my routines have been the anchor to keep me grounded and help me ride the waves

can everyone wait until after my stonks vest please and thank you

wow it's only 4:30 feels like 7
