A couple years ago I was tasked to manage a team whose apps are being spun down, and over the next year-ish we'll finally be wrapping up. It's a situation a lot of devs never get to experience and oddly satisfying - pushing a ~15-20yr tech debt pile not just back, but off a "Won't Do" cliff.

That kinda horny that makes it tough to go to sleep buuuuut I just know there's no way I'm gonna be able to do anything about it until my dad goes home on Saturday. :|

I just killed and restarted my email because I forgot I'd burned a slow afternoon yesterday COMPLETELY zeroing out my inbox and when I looked at it just now I assumed it was broken lol.

Hmmmmmm, should I buy this early-access game? Geeee I wonder...

Macbook Neo is going to be an easy recommend for friends & family. A bit better than an M1, which is still a pretty solid machine for most people. And with how Windows is going...yeah. It should be perfect for anybody who doesn't already know what they need. Wish there were 12/16GB options but 🤷‍♂️

Skip-level (former manager) and I both usually do everything in our power to end meetings early hehe, but today he ran our 1:1 over time to lay out how he'd heard from my PO's boss that I was doing a great job with one of the teams I manage. So that was nice. c:

YCH featuring my jackal character Tinh. I need to get more art of this guy; one of the main reasons I made him was to get art that I liked the idea of but wouldn't want my "main" characters to be in. 🎨 @sterlingkato.bsky.social

This is pretty awesome

Noooooooooo I've been slipping under the radar using YT's "Subscriptions" page for years. Just a chronological feed of videos by channels I subscribe to. Looks like today they changed it to how it is on TV + Mobile, where it's a "Most Relevant" (algorithmic)-first view. Fuuuuuck you, YouTube :C

We made a comic about coffee.

"Ode To Joy" stuck in my head this morning. It's a nice enough little tune but gotta say, after a few dozen brain loops, it does not bring joy.

I wish furries could adopt a zero tolerance stance towards the puritans behind this type of situation the same way we did to nazi furs. People always come in with "these newcomers need to learn history" or "we should explain this kink to them" or whatever. It's coddling the bullies. 1/2

I LOVE corned beef, like any time of year, but St. Patrick's season always gets me thinking about it because of other people talking about it and then I go to the store and they're all sold out But This Year mwahahahaha I got one early! :D

I’m imagining a printer somewhere getting its lil mechanical hopes up only to be skipped yet again.

If you're potentially interested in getting this boy dm me! I can ship him worldwide (US excluded) right next week as is. #fursuits #fursuit #NFC

Whole-ass theater losing their shit, then continuing to crack each other up by trying and failing to laugh quietly. 🤣 #GLHFDD is the most fun I've had at the movies in a long time. Go in blind if you can.

Glad I kept checking, they changed delivery to today and it's a thing I have to be present for delivery.

Suuuuuuch a good coyote dream last night. :D

Who I wish I was vs who I am

Hey I just wanted the 90s back

I've never really been keen on buying used PC parts, but maaaaan, whenever the AI bubble bursts, it's gonna be an amazing time to build a NAS.

Maybe if I hit refresh 174 more times my package's delivery estimate will change from Friday to Right Now.

The Thai place likes to say their hot is hot, but it's also really variable and man today it is HOT 🥵 Sitting here mildly disassociating halfway through my lunch to try to work up to finishing it hehe.

90% of the time I try to judgment glare it doesn’t land because their eyes are glued to the phone they’re unsubtly holding in their lap. 😠

Valentine's reflections: I've been single for ages, but I often wonder what it would be like to have somebody. I wish I did. At the same time, I feel I've found happiness solo. Do I want to rock that boat? I'm open(ish) to it, but the last few years, I've stopped pursuing it, and it's been good.

Okay "Goat" was admittedly not as funny as I was expecting BUT it got me in the feels WAY more than I thought it would. Also Modo is really running recruitment for Team Scalies and Team Maws, heck. Usually pretty meh / picky on both of those but he hit some buttons.

In London 2009, Gary Numan made a surprise appearance with NIN to play Numan's "Metal" & "Cars." I filmed it in one unbroken shot from the middle of the stage with a handheld DSLR. Here's the full video, savor the Dudes Rock energy of two legends doing a big mutual respect ("Cars" starts at 6:38):

My dog has learned basically what the end of a meeting sounds like and is always sure to come poke his head up next to me when he hears one, just in case I maybe would be up for making some bacon or something now that I'm done being a meeting drone. 🥓🐕😋

One of those weird times when it 100% feels like a Monday and it's such a relief to realize it's not.

What a neat suit! And sized for folks a bit larger than you often see for premades (6'2", 200lbs). I hope it finds a home with somebody who likes to get their picture taken under blacklight, haha.

Ent. Architect last week: "They're just starting to figure out how <major infra project> will play out. You should know more ~end of Feb." Ent. IT, today, in an email forwarded to me 3rd-hand: "MIP kicks off Monday 2/16, hope everybody's ready!" 🔥🤯🔥 My company's silo problem is REALLY showing rn.

Have been trying melatonin to get to bed at reasonable times. At first it seemed to have no effect, but over a few weeks it's started to seem to work very well. I suspect it's just conditioning, training myself to associate the tasty tablet with getting ready for bed, but 🤷‍♂️ if it works it works!

Waiting for lasagna to be edible: Lava Lava Lava Lava Lava Lava Lava Cold 😠

The main way I use Disc could easily be replaced by the next Vent / TS / whatever, and I see a lot of folks talking about that... ...buuuuuut the secondary way I use it is platform-integration communities (e.g. Twitch, Patreon). That's gonna be tough to replace, and a burden on creators. :/

It doesn't get a label even though it's a pretty big area but this is where all the furries seem to be :P

If you subscribed to something to watch the game, don't forget to cancel!

lol welp

That moment's hesitation when he wasn't sure that actually just happened before he fell on it lol.

Okay the prostate cancer ad was pretty decent actually. Can't hate a well-used contextually fitting pun.

Catch the two guys dancing together? I can feel a collective stroke rolling in and it’s glorious.

I know I'm pop-culturally out of the loop and maybe Andy Cohen is instantly recognizable to most people but HECK a candy company using a spokesman who, at a glance, looks a hell of a lot like Epstein is a hilarious choice.

Yanno when you realize you're about to watch a movie that's a sequel to something you never watched, so you skim the wiki plot summary first? They should have a pre-game show for people who haven't watched a single game all year and might even be rusty on basic rules.

A teenager who has already had a whole-ass military career finds a ragtag group of new friends and saves the world. It is hilarious how little that narrows it down, haha.

Did millennials do this? Like, is there any millennial slang that was just completely opaque to Gen X / Boomers? Memes, sure, but slang? I'm having a hard time thinking of any.

Allergies suck 😠

I've seen a lot of people talking about the olympics but I somehow thought they were going to happen some vague time in the future, I didn't know they were on like *now*.
