Oooh, Legal Eagle is suing Honey!

I just learned of Honey today. If the below is true, and I believe it is, then you should delete it. It's fraud.

I have a friend of a friend that I occasionally talk to over discord. We are they obviously not close, but I like him. He’s nice and fun to be around. I just learned he’s been unemployed more or less since 2022, and that’s just awful.

Applying for a job today. My life feels weird without a job.

Just saw crypto explained as “MLM for men” and I’m still chuckling.

My wife (psychologist) dropped the bomb on me a month ago, telling me that she long suspected that I had high functioning autism. I was initially surprised, but it honestly makes a lot of sense and explains so much about my life. It doesn’t change anything, but I think about it a lot. Thread 🧵

Anyone have any advice on how to “do cool shit for a living”? It sounds way more fun than having a regular day job.

Most of the software I’m interested in making either has no business case, or it is rooted in my desire to dismantle some of the weird dogmatism I keep encountering on the job. In both cases, likely no one would ever pay me to make it, and this makes me sad.

Searching for a new job feels weird now. Given my seniority and the industry I work in, I haven’t actually searched for work in about five years, due to recruiters reaching out all the time. But now when I’m actually looking? Silence. 😂

My son enjoys new years eve. Hope you all do as well!

“You will be visited by three spirits.” The three spirits

I cut my hair today, you know, due to the occasion, and apparently this was my last batch of non-grey hair. I like it.

It feels wild seeing some accounts here having 12k followers and then also follow some 25k accounts themselves. No way are they actively following that number of accounts. Why do they do this? What’s the point?

I’m not religious. I used to be, but not anymore. Now I’m “optimistically nihilistic”, and let me tell you, that does *not* help one bit, when your kids start expressing existential dread at the age of 5. “Death isn’t bad for *you*. Only others suffer, when you die” wasn’t exactly a reassurance. 😬

Things I vehemently despise, abridged: - AI “art” It is theft. - Blockchain tech An environmental catastrophe cosplaying as a solution, yet after more than a decade is still in search of a problem. - Cryptocurrencies Same as above, yet worse, as it actually solved the problem of money laundering.
