I was interviewed by @businessinsider.com in their "As-Told-To" series about people beginning second careers. Thank you to Tess Martinelli for sharing my story and big changes since leaving Apple in 2021. per ardua ad astra! 🌌 www.businessinsider.com/apple-engine...

I've completely moved on from "dark mode" and now prefer "earth mode," which is warm, soft earth tones. Feels so so much better for me at this point.

You can apply this to so much! I refer to this as “labs thinking.” It’s where you allow yourself the degrees of freedom needed to explore the problem space. Then once you’ve formed a better world model you can build a more accurate representation within tighter constraints.

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

Learning is living and I plan to live a full life.

Writing to incarcerated people is an act of radical care, a refusal of disposability, and an abolitionist politic in practice.

Everybody always wants to put me in a box. Kurt, you can't do this or that, that's not what I've decided you are! 😮 Boxes are for assholes with tiny minds. Be whoever you want to be, do whatever you want to do. No one gets to tell you what you are or are not capable of.

It's been FOUR years since I filed an NLRB charge against Apple, which was investigated and sent to DC recommending charge issue within MONTHS. It took THREE years for charge to issue and a hearing to be scheduled. When Abruzzo was fired, and Carey nominated, the hearing was cancelled.

Every "impossible" thing humanity has overcome shares four traits: - Flight? Time + information + tools + each other - Moon landing? Time + information + tools + each other - Disease eradication? Time + information + tools + each other One thing seems pretty clear: we only get there together.

Amazing life hack: learn how to be genuinely happy for other people. Don't feel threatened by others' happiness. Don't go into comparison mode. Don't be a wet blanket. Don't avoid it. Embrace others' happiness. Bask in it. Let their smile become your smile. Let it infect you. Let it lift you up.

These are great.

Unless you have arthritis, then get yourself some nice brass knuckles.

I've wanted to do NaNoWriMo for a long time, but it just doesn't align with my schedule or energy level come November. However, over the holiday break, I wrote a rough draft of four chapters for this short fantasy novel I've wanted to write for years.

Me whenever I have any task to do that doesn't stimulate my brain, or I'm afraid of failing at it: "You know what would help me with this? A completely new system for doing this task. Yeah, that'll fix me."

I love testing new products and tools with a live audience. I always go in cold so you get raw, uncensored feedback on the developer experience from me and 100s of other devs! Got a new product or feature you need feedback on? Here are the deets.

Arthritis is fun because I get to hear my neck cartilage grind against each other every time I turn my head.

I was serving a 5-7 year prison sentence and taking any course/class/training available to me in an effort to prepare myself for getting out. I signed up for a class called "INTERMEDIATE WEBPAGE DESIGN" which turned out to be HTML, CSS, and a sprinkle of JavaScript. It completely changed my life.

My wife and I got married in Las Vegas 12yrs ago at The Little White Wedding Chapel. Feeling grateful to be back here with her after all this time. 💕
