Vaguely surprised it took me this long to add “Bezos” to my shitty rich-presenting white dude filter. Guess he wasn’t being referenced directly often enough to raise my blood pressure.
Saw him out of the corner of my eye the first time I contracted at Amazon (2004). Button-up shirt and jeans, the ridiculously high cost of which was obvious to the point of awkwardness for me multi-classing in Trailer Trash and Textiles. My common sense started tingling, so I avoided him at all times thereafter.
Anyways here’s the latest Lex Luthorism that has folks talking about Jeff Bezos.

Mom’s sick and didn’t reply for a while to my message. Finally got ahold of her.
Me: Oh good you are alive! I was worried. Started thinking out your eulogy and everything.
She: Fuck you!
Me: That’s how I was going to open! How did you know?

Too many automation games when I’m trying to move through the whiteboard app with WASD

No electricity for us and a few thousand of our closest friends. Unsure if the cause is blown transformer, bad driver, terrorist javelina, or suicidal ground squirrel.

And back (for now). That wasn’t too bad.

Updating Emacs to 30.1 to see if it helps.
Helps what?
I dunno man, I’m not even supposed to be here today.

Yeah I need a job or something productive to do with my time, as I go into the territory of “your roadmap visualization is insufficiently communicative for my tastes. No, I’ll just redo it.”

a soft, quiet night. Some specifically selected chill music playlist going. Critters sleeping peacefully.
My brain: “next time they say to use whatever language you like for their code puzzles, you should use POV-Ray.”

A problem with some of the code puzzle problems is sometimes I’ve faced the problem, tried to be clever, found a quicker simple solution, moved on, and lost my notes. Like – a decade ago.
They: Figure out if the list contains duplicates. Show your work.
Me, in Python: len(nums) != len(set(nums))
They: wait but ok wait hang on
So now I gotta go retrace steps and rewrite old notes so I can at least say why it’s faster than when I tried to be clever.
