Every once in a while someone says something that leaves me thinking that not everyone lives in a completely different world from me. I like those moments.

I think the best part of all my coding projects being solo personal projects is that I can get away with rawdogging my code with nothing more than nvim and a pretty simple config. No code completion, no questionable ai suggestions, no slow, heavy IDEs...

Wait, I thought that if last century taught us anything, it's that governments that rely on someone being above the law, ones where that someone arguably has the most motivation to do a good job, are in reality the ones that are the most ripe for abuse. And if the argument's that we just need to do a good job of picking that someone, then that sounds an awful lot like our current system.

Most of what I've listened to is by and above men. I've assumed that's just because that's what seems to be what's the norm in the fantasy/sci-fi genre.

I don't know if I only noticed when things get to an extreme, but I've I've definitely stopped reading/listening to/watching stuff because it was either a list of events about which I didn't really care because the characters that were involved were insufficiently fleshed out so they didn't feel like real people, or nothing was happening, it was just a bunch of annoying people who were all worked up about nothing particular.

Do you want us to read between the lines and recognize that team nostr is stronger for not having a leader... with no CEO to arrest?

Because if so, I nailed it.

I'm an engineer at a medical device design firm. I seem to be particularly good at coming up with novel gizmos and contraptions that can solve the problem de jour, and predicting probable behaviors/failure models/strengths and weaknesses of said contraptions. On the flip side, I'm atrocious with written language, and my memory is distinctly hit or miss ๐Ÿ˜‚

Coworkers often look at me quizzically when, things that might take them 10 minutes to figure out, I do mid-sentence, or things that they might flounder on for weeks, I'll sometimes figure out while reflecting for a minute or two. I sometimes wonder what it'd be like to be one of the true greats.

"This ... move ... threatens to create serious harm by excluding young people from meaningful, healthy participation in the digital world...", and sugary cereal is "part of a balanced breakfast".

To me, paying for decadent and opulent building facades seems like a waist of money. I'm too frugal for such things.

I have to assume that for someone, #100pushups has led to even bigger positive changes, or maybe it, in and of itself has been a big change, and for that person I'm super excited.

I'll stop considering this gaslighting when normies stop regurgitating dumb bullshit that they heard on the news.
