ADHD is great for being dropped into a crisis situation, consuming all the documentation, talking to everyone, and then synthesizing the gestalt back in a format useful to exec leadership and their board, I think? Or it's just the adhd is comorbid with me being me?

and the good software development methodology is also laziness because i don't wanna deal with bug reports from broken releases

I'm so tired of seeing "LFG" everywhere that I have now decided it stands for "lookin' fresh, girlies" and that makes me feel better about it

Want to take a vacation from open source maintenance? You should. Did you know that GitHub has a profile status feature to mark yourself as busy, mute notifications, and prompt folks who mention you that you're busy for a while? Before today the longest (optional) "automatically clear this status" preset was a week. Now the longest preset is a month. Because let's face it, a week is not always a long enough break from the demands of other people. #OpenSource #GitHub #OSS

I do wish I could tell recruiters that I’ll never apply to a company that reports record profits and also lays people off.

All these tech billionaires are like a version of the movie Big, in which a pre-adolescent boy wakes up in the body of an aging Howard Hughes. Or Colonel Kurtz. Or a sardine. #JackDorsey

Tomorrow is my first ever #IndieWebCamp.... I'm so excited and a bit ashamed that it took me so long 🫣

I've never been more sympathetic to a fictional antagonist than in Avengers 2 when Ultron experienced the internet for like 5 seconds and then decided that humanity should be destroyed

A stealth startup that’s so stealth that nobody but the founder knows about it and that it’ll remain stealth and kept as a secret forever No address, no website, not even a line of code — in fact, it all stays in the founder’s mind only, to maintain highest level of stealth

today my therapist tried to help me brainstorm potential personal interests, because I said I'm doing nothing because I did it all when I was manic he said music, and I told him about how I play the electric guitar, got into synths, and worked for a music production company he said school, and I told him I have three degrees already and on and on eventually he said "maybe you just like trains or something" and I started showing him photos of all my train trips he was like 😩
