I was sufficiently-but-not-overly caffeinated.

My brain picked a new phrase for that thing where some overly enthusiastic and often venture-funded group of nerds tries to automate or improve a process without doing any real research into what the process currently is: dropping a tech-bomb.

Not sure how “democratizing” became a warning flag for me in a company’s service description, yet here we are.

Job listings are disappearing quicker than they did a few months ago. TBH that might be a good thing, as those listings that’d sit for six months as they — I dunno, collected resumes? — are a special kind of demoralizing.

“Have you tried Palworld?”

No im not really interested in the slavery simulator.

(I opt not to mention that most of my victorious runs in Civilization were with brutally oppressive regimes)

but really it’s just that something about Palworld smells all kind of weird, kinda like how Army FPS games smell, and I just stay away.

Shifted to Netlify, so that’s an expense I don’t have to worry about next month. (annual renewal was gonna cost me $240 for a bunch of stuff I don’t use)
