To use Microsoft products is to experience and participate in a ecosystem of banality. GitHub, VS Code are both exceptions, and are not legacy products. For workers in 2022 to be forced to use these bloated, shit-stack products is precisely why diminishing workforce participation should be expected.

Kids in bed early, wife out with friends, so of course I'm on that free public library Lynda.com subscription, banging out Unix essentials.

There's a good chance your local library pays for it's patrons to access Lynda, O'Reilly, and a host of other shit platforms you wouldn't catch me giving one nickel to. But that's why I pay taxes, right? To get them by other means, while supporting shit I love.

So go get you some "free" access, would ya!

Content warning:Sartorial Offense

If you’re over 25 and still caught in the white triangle, I pray for you. Why do you do it? There are alternatives, you’re an adult…please stop it.

Alan Kay’s “Programming and Scaling” lecture is an absolute crusher, my goodness. Classical, technical, and cultural in the span of a breath. A reflection of humility on what might be different in an imagine-less space.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those that find Lex Fridman to be a uniquely qualified and deeply interesting podcaster, and those who regret their previous search choices—which led to some algorithmic illogic that now populates their feed with his most inane insights every third video.

But why JavaScript? Why? I know I’m past my prime, late to the game, and unlikely to contribute anything of great value—but this? The “greatest minds” of our day just accept a monstrosity that was thrown together in a week for a corporate deadline as the basis for the majority of our networked activity. Its madness is the madness of late capitalism. Is undoing this blunder not the great project of the century?

Why has the world betrayed me—the university deceived me? Why, at 40, has the revelation of functional programming only now been revealed? Failing for so long at OO, with little to show, and now this revelation…I will now spread the Gospel to the lost and hurting of this world with the meager mite I have.

I arrived just before the great migration and thought I had a decent handle on the layout of the network. If anyone out there can help me, I think the recent update has switched me to an #introduction #Twitter discussion instance that consists solely of people explaining how to be on #mastodon and what must happen for it to remain #open. The rest seem to talk almost exclusively about the ills of the former platform. Any help on how to see regular, interesting content again is appreciated.

Listening to a private equity “partner” explain his rational for ousting our current CEO is a masterclass in neoliberal word spells. No loyalties exist in a world based on exits.

From now on, when I hear “ideation” in a meeting of any kind, I will immediately stand, nod to the attendees, and walk the fuk out of the room. I’m tired of it.
