I really wish I realized how much a grift most IT startups are. I'd have approached my time in startup incubators WAAAAAY different.

I don't actually know Jane, and yet I feel called out.

And here I thought I’d go a whole day without a reminder that if I can’t be everything, I might as well be nothing.

I really genuinely wonder what it's like for people who are content with who they are?

I hope the information from this conference makes up for the cliquishness of the attendees. I’ll admit that I’m not the smoothest in the world, but all my attempts at engaging have seen me shouldered out. Not even an open bar is going to get me to the after conference mixer.

I found last week that @helloalexroberts.bsky.social has published an SRD for For the Queen. Tonight, I found a company that prints custom cards that are actually affordable. New (FtQ based) game coming from me *soon!*™️

I am continually amazed at the people that I am lucky enough to call my friends 💜

Proposal: When discussing automation, replace the notional always-on, maintenance-free robot helper you're imagining with the average real-world printer you've encountered. The more expensive and complex the printer, the more potential issues and "having a printer guy". A much better baseline.
