I've been acquired. Building things with APIs and GenAI. Because the latter is all the rage and I need someone to fund my rock-and-roll, stay-at-home lifestyle, and the former is mostly still fun, at times.

Folks, if you have a choice (and I realize sometimes you just don't), when evaluating a new job find out if they use Google or MS Teams. And for quality of life and minimal frustration if they use Teams start asking some serious questions about how much you'll need to work within those systems.

Lately my development work has been all LLM driven. I don't really write much code. I read it, and say "Hey, that's .. what the hell were you thinking?" or "Heck yeah, nice job digital buddy"... I don't mind it much. I haven't had to type a lot, which is good.

Is it the ESPN broadcast that makes this EDM-DAL game seem so dull? The sound for sure is just wrong. The league can't be happy about this.

how i long for a slack feature that marks all identical unread messages read... in lieu of a feature that shocks people who broadcast the same message across multiple channels

Boooo

The NHL also needs to fix the playoff scheduling. Takes too long. No need to stagger games this much. Two weeks per round maximum.

The NHL needs to seriously consider enforcing some level of audio standards on its broadcast partners. These ESPN/TNT/TBS games all have messed up audio. No team in the race anymore and I'm close to tuning out because of it. It just sounds wrong.

Just crazy. Even if Faber made no contact it didn't look like enough to overturn. Feels like a panic move. Maybe they figured you never know what's going to get called, so roll the dice?

Is "Havoc" on Netflix supposed to be a parody of the hyper-violent Hong Kong crime movies from the 80s-90s? It seemed to start off more like an homage to that genre, but then pretty quickly veered into the downright silly.

Watching Fleury there was worth the time spent on the rest of the game. Just awesome.

I have @#$! had it with applications polluting my @#$! .config directory. It's not a dumping ground for your lazy ass developers to throw anything they want. Augh!!!!

Waiting for the other shoe of "here's all the insider action that happened to take advantage of the wild market swings created by executive order" to drop...

Small town government centers are the best. Laid back, friendly. At least in my experience. Maybe it's a Minnesota thing.

Call me curmudgeon, but I think we should ban more of these time-wasting apps.

Pretty great world juniors gold medal game.

On following... I thought the point of social media was to scream into the void, and follow the minimum number of people to keep you mildly entertained between screams. Minimum and no more.

I'm tracking a package on USPS and it's taken about 10 days to go from Louisville to Dallas. Which is, if I'm not mistaken, roughly the Pony Express rate of travel. So cool that they brought it back!

Setting app timers and gol darn it I'm sticking to them this time.

Flu-like symptoms for Christmas again this year? You shouldn't have...

going to try updating hyprland... haven't in a while.. could be fun

When are our elected officials going to *do something* about certain browsers and electron apps misusing and abusing the .config directory?!?

If it doesn't come from the region of bounded business context, it's just sparkling distributed monolith.

What's up? I'll tell you what's up. My stress level, that's what's up.

Feeling the need for a break.

Wherein Gemini tells me where aren't bears. g.co/gemini/share...

I poke my head in on the other app since I still get messages there once in a while. I've gotten an uptick in follows there (I get very few), and every single one is obviously a bot.

Wish I didn't need reading glasses. Then I feel guilty about being too lazy to just go grab a pair from my desk. Brain is definitely out to get me.
