It took a full eight hours to uncork the font, but I was finally able to write the 600-800 words I needed to write today for quarterly work stuff.

schoolhouse rock basically ruined me because every time someone says "what's happening?" my first reaction is to say "verb".

half the star trek tng episodes start with “we are transporting <important cargo or person> to <star or base> <number>”. the entire series is based on interstellar doordash runs that go wrong.

this is less of a 'many-to-many' relationship and more of a 'whatever-to-whatever' relationship

if any of the gpt enthusiasts had ever said “this tool allows people who speak english as a second language to lower the language barrier in work and in seeking employment”, i would have said “sounds great!”

but not one of them has said that to me ever. not even once.

After almost 10 years my checkmark at the bird site is gone. Laugh all you want, it meant something at the time I got it and my audience I had there no longer means anything. The smug “you are hanging out with Nazis” folks had it wrong. That was where I found folks interested in what I had to say about programming and testing. I made sure to not interact with problematic people there but fuck me for being there, right? How dare I go where my audience was.

ai is designed to starve itself.

i was going to wait to tell the “who called it ‘secret santa’ instead of ‘non-disclosure claus’?” joke until it was closer to christmas, but i figured i’d totally forget, so i’m telling it now.
