i have a friend, a close friend for years, who has always been the reliable, humble one. always grounded, always 'gets it'.

he worked for many years as the person who found all the mistakes in your code, at a very well known company, on probably their most important project.

not too long ago, he left that place and started working for a game company. slowly, since that happened, his vibe has become... arrogant, smug, quick to dismiss, kind of know it all. to the point that i am getting concerned, and kind of dont want to talk to him much.

the thought of not talking to him bothers me. so im praying and thinking through how to approach this. i dont want to come off as if im attacking him. but he is too important to me to just not talk to him.

i suppose i need to release the outcome. and go in.
