The more I think about it, the more I feel like the Western idea of having to move out at 18 (or even your early 20s) is crazy.

I can't imagine living on my own with the amount I'm making right now.

It just seems much better for both sides financially if you stay with your parents for at least a little while longer after getting a job. That way, both parties get to save a lot in living expenses. It's a win-win.

I get that the point is independence, but also... in this economy?

Wait a minute... all our Kaguya-sama emojis are just Chika? Nothing against her, but I was hoping we also had other characters. :ChikaLurk:

I won a bit of money today from our bi-weekly games at work with cash prizes.

I used it to buy some alcohol for some Friday night unwinding, and now I'm buzzed. I think three bottles might have been too much.

Sometimes I jumpscare myself when I open up a browser and it's just porn.

TinaCMS seems promising, especially with Astro since it supports md files and Tina saves entries as md files locally. I can just directly read the md files instead of fetching entries using Tina's API.

I can't seem to make deployment on Vercel work though.

I don't think drinking alcohol at home alone is my thing. I did it two days in a row, and it really didn't do much for me. I think I'd rather chill with some hot chocolate instead.

I just watched an 90-minute crash course on Next.js at 2x speed. Time to add it to my resume...

It's crazy when I see my co-workers who can't touch-type. Like, did I also used to be that slow?

Learning to touch-type is probably one of the best choices I've ever made. It only took like two weeks to learn (plus about a month to get used to it).

It's also just so fun and satisfying. Clickity-clackity :meowbongo:

Wondering if I should do Advent of Code this year, considering I'm already super late.

Maybe this can be my excuse to use Rust again.

The only thing more annoying than someone using "he/she" instead of "they" is someone using it inconsitently. One sentence would use "he", and another would use "he/she". Sometimes, even in the same sentence.

So apparently, #Heroku isn't free anymore? I've been ignoring all of their emails, so I probably missed out on a bunch of updates

I finished my portfolio site! Now, I have to actually create some projects since I only have two, and they're kinda old.

I'm still gonna continue working on the site, though. I still need to decide how I want to handle image hosting before I can add more images.

Can people actually remember their age on the spot? I feel like I always have to take a second or two to do the math.

And I was born in 2000. Literally the easiest year to do age math.

You know that episode of Friends when Rachel gets jealous of her co-worker who gets close to their boss by smoking with her?

That's basically the position I am right now, except my co-worker is smoking with a more senior dev rather than our boss.

I knew I missed an ingredient. I forgot to add raisins in the (Filipino) menudo.

I was considering asking an old professor of mine for help getting a front-end developer position in his company, but then I remembered the one website project that I submitted in his class...

The project was a social engineering website designed to make the user download malware (it was a cybersecurity class). I made a website for a cult that worshiped me as their god.

I'm not sure if I can count on his recommendation...

How I wish I was able to witness his presence. - Plato What can I say about [REDACTED]? There are no words to describe such an amazing human being. Once he masters all elements, I believe that he can save the world. - Obama (not the real one for legal reasons) [REDACTED] has changed my life. Ever since I started worshiping him, I won the lottery, I married the girl of my dreams, and I've gained the power to speak to the dead. He truly is a miraculous being. #NotACult - Anonymous

A prime example of why we need to get a rice cooker: I just burnt the rice because I was working in the other room.

Burnt rice is probably something people with rice cookers never have to deal with.

I've started using Supabase for my personal project. I haven't written SQL in such a looong time.

Welp. The splitter I bought came, and I think our desktop's mic input is just broken.

Now I don't know what to do with the earphones I bought. I can't use them on my phone since it doesn't have an audio jack.

I was checking out what movies were showing right now. What kind of title is "Men are from QC, Women are from Alabang"?

I know Alabang girls are a thing, but are QC boys too? What does that even mean? Are Alabang girls upper class, and QC boys are working class?

I am confusion.

Hold on a minute. I always thought Nana was a short manga, which is one of the reasons I'm interested in reading it. But apparently, it's actually just been on hiatus for 15 years?

Does it at least have some kind of ending?

I decided to try out using PocketBase as a backend framework with Templ (GoLang) and HTMX. It seems really promising, but the template I'm using takes a long time to reload on change. And I don't really know enough about the Go libraries being used to set it all up myself.

I'll try to see if I can find better resources.

Also, when combined with AlpineJS, this would be called the PHAT stack, which is a huge selling point for using this.
