We gave rocks anxiety, and they gave us depression: a programmer&#39;s memoir.

Listening to book, losing focus, drifting off. Turn off book, try to nap... wide awake. Fuck you, brain.

Ooh, looks like Chambers has a new book coming in October.

Wow, Platform Decay was nicely dense for its length. I’d’ve given Naja a gun.

If I don’t SEE you, I don’t have to fucking KILL you. This can’t be that hard to understand, even for a spider.

TFW you can’t tell if the overwhelming sense of doom is coming from the lack of sleep or the all-hands meeting.

Recruiter email for a staff engineer at an AI-focused mortgage software firm using typescript. Sigh.

A smart thing to do, rather than sitting on the couch wishing for the sweet embrace of brain death, would probably be to look at more job listings. I’m clearly not going to, but felt I should at least call myself out for not doing so.

&quot;Hey Siri, what apples are in season at the moment?&quot; &quot;I think apple.com can help with that.&quot; &quot;Fuck you for that answer.&quot; &quot;I wont respond to that.&quot;

If you don&#39;t provide an rss feed, you&#39;re not a news site, you&#39;re an advertising site.

Got a LinkedIn contact about a job that sounds A LOT like my last job. Like, enough that I asked if that’s who it was. You know, the job I was fired from for telling the finance bros running the place they couldn’t treat engineers like shit and still get good results?

Three hours of driving with six hours of sitting in a meeting in the middle has left me tired and sore and cranky and if I could get away with taking tomorrow off I would. As it is, I’m trying to figure out how to keep myself amused for another three hours or so, so I can sleep somewhat normally tonight. TikTok is already boring me, and y’all don’t post enough. Maybe I should go see if I can un-glitch Last Caretaker.

I was just reminded that I got to make the following joke today: Product Manager: &quot;I don&#39;t drink Coke.&quot; Me: &quot;Of course not. You&#39;re supposed to snort it.&quot; It went over well with the people in the meeting, which included my ex-boss and my grandboss.

Why am I craving fettuccine alfredo and why did I choose to live somewhere where that means Olive Garden?

Experimenting with other energy drinks, because why not. Welch’s Grape Ghost is… surprisingly pleasant? I don’t know if I’ll get it again, but I don’t hate it.

It seems my employer _may_ be going to start rating us by both how much we use AI and how many merge requests we generate. It may be time to gtfo. I’m a senior/principal ruby/rails dev (~20y); before that focused on perl, but I can and will work in just about any language except Java, given a chance to scrape the rust off (or learn, which I do startlingly fast).

Does anybody want geek.bargains, nerd.bargains, or tickybox.xyz? They&#39;re all expiring this month and I&#39;m not planning to renew them.
