My latest newsletter is about the tech industry's desire for control over their customers, and how that, in turn, leads into worse products that are harder to understand. whatwelost.substack.com/p/losing-con...

Sorting thru stuff in my office to prepare to move, and having a moment where I’m actually glad I have “too much stuff”, ‘cause I ran across some furry business cards of old friends. And now maybe they don’t have to be “old” friends anymore. :3

It is so hot that I would rather take a nap than do any of the things I need to do, like packing up my stuff and/or looking for a job. ><

The way Firefox has implemented the Tab Groups APIs for extensions is both very clever/elegant AND, unfortunately, super inconvenient for my use case. There seem to be lots of weird fiddly corner cases that show up when moving tabs around, which will be hard to handle in Tab Stash. :S

"Who sent you?" The intruder froze. "You haven't come to seek gold or glory for yourself," the dragon said. It was a short, sad, familiar story. "Do you want to stay," the dragon asked, "with the others?" "Others?" The dragon called for his adopted children. "I hoard family." #CrossRepost

Every time I have to interact with Shortcuts, it is a frustrating experience. I get that I'm not the target audience (I'd much rather write Actual Code), but like... could you at least TELL me what the problem is???

I opened LinkedIn for... a reason I have now completely forgotten, to check something that should've taken me 15 seconds. 10 minutes later I wake up to find myself mindlessly scrolling through the feed. And this is far from the first time. This is Not Okay. LinkedIn's homepage is now dead to me.

I have the distinct sense I am typecast as a manager now, and trying to break out of that will be extremely hard. I'm getting recruiter cold-calls for management roles, and only one of the engineer roles I applied to has responded. Not sure what do. :/

lolll. gg @concept.country "The cat-coding-anxious-queer archetype is practically a Concept recruitment category at this point, but we'd like to see more evidence of Des building rather than just maintaining existing systems before offering a higher grade." I... you know what, that's a fair hit.
