quitting my shitty ai-pilled job and going back to writing code by hand feels like slipping back into a pair of soft oversized sweats neovim, oh how i missed you 😭

still have 2 weeks before i'm truly free but I just restarted the rust book from scratch and i'm having a serious moment with it

new affirmation: i can be a fan of a show without joining the fandom and its "discourse" 😔

the worst part of leaving a job you hate is having to find diplomatic ways to explain why you're leaving 🙄

it has come to my attention that non-colorblind people sometimes argue over whether a thing is blue or purple, which just makes the whole thing (colors) feel silly

I really like the new fire emblem except the part where you can just fully miss entire quests because you're bad at managing a calendar 🫠

even my videogames are bullying me for my time blindness. I just missed a paralogue that apparently only had a 2 day window 😒

it's oddly gender affirming to have a straight white male supervisor claim my ideas and repeatedly ignore the information i provide him

big news on this front, IM FUCKING QUITTINGGGGG fuck this shit, I'm out. Shoulda trusted my gut when I got the offer

i've had to interact with suno bros a couple of times lately, and they all seem so lonely and disconnected. they'll literally never have a singalong to their favorite song. it's really sad

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

and the guy explained it so clearly and made so much sense that it knocked something loose in my heart also I got to drive alongside a train the whole way home and that's definitely unrelated, shut up, what are you, a cop??

huge news, someone slipped me a bakers dozen of the cat treat pouches i get 😭

for context, I ordered some groceries and a pub sub for pickup and the app gave me an estimated pickup time. the shopper finished almost an hour early, so the app told me it was ready. but when I got there, the guy brought me my groceries and said they're still making my sub

the reason is the deli doesn't start your sub until 10m before the scheduled pick up time because otherwise it could sit for too long and become unsafe. so even if the app notifies me early, it's still best to wait for the original pickup window if I'm getting a sub

In Wendy we trust 🫡

Wendy Carlos should be on the 20 dollar bill. There should be a 50-foot-tall, solid-gold statue of her in Pawtucket. You should be able to buy all her albums in any format you want and a line of custom branded synths. She should be a household name along with Bob Moog.

tell me you don't trust the engineering lead without telling me you don't trust the engineering lead jfc 🙄🙄🙄

i just need to rerepost this because i sat on this idea from the day i named my cat Midna and it took ~16 years for the right artist to just appear with open commissions and absolutely nail it in one go 🥹

all that to say, GIVE ARTISTS MONEY, ITS SO WORTH IT 💃 (if you can afford it obviously)

i appreciate that georgia now has automatic free halloween decorations every year, but i do wish they wouldn't self-install across my front door overnight

you know, i've spent my whole life being stressed or overwhelmed from work, but this past year is the first time I've ever slipped into that deep visceral "hate my job" territory 🤔

last year i successfully forgot about 9/11 until the day after. unfortunately, I broke that streak this year 😞

the moment i saw this it took over my brain like a parasite

when are they going to let Link wear his little "CUNT." top again

lol nintendo, don't use the term surface with a non technical audience. tech workers barely know what surface means

these tooling mandates and demands to work faster are destroying software engineers.

"So in summary: using AI for coding led to depression, apathy, existential dread, and worse software. Not good. Add on top of that the negative environmental, community, and economic impacts of AI, and it became extremely apparent to me that something's gotta change." brettcodes.com/im-done-usin...

a coworker just slacked "sorry, got pulled into a doctor visit for a sec there" are you working in the waiting room?? please take a goddamn break dude, you're setting a really unhealthy precedent for everyone else at the company 🫪

to said coworker: if your cla*de somehow finds this post and links it to me and you, you're not beating the panopticon allegations my dude 😒
