Filling out a job application and one of the questions asks
“Kid”
“Have you ever been discharged, suspended, involuntarily terminated, allowed to resign in lieu of termination or resigned without notice?”
🎼 and I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty-seven eight-by-ten color glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on the back of each one
Anyways yeah. Had to process some emotions to properly answer the question, but I did okay. We shall see.
Fare thee well Polywork. You were never as interesting as your initial marketing, and a desperate AI pivot didn’t change that.
I really wish it had been the hip cool LinkedIn alternative they described at first, but it felt like more of a Fiverr alternative and somehow less useful than that? Then an AI-powered Link In Bio for LinkedIn users?

Trying to read a blog post and getting sidetracked by 14px monospace font where the contrast somehow doesn’t feel sharp enough at 9.98:1 and thank goodness for browsers with Reader Mode but anyways hashtag you might like this if you can read it #AstroDotBuild#Emacs#DoomEmacs
Skimming through LinkedIn for job leads, as one does 12:30 at night right after Christmas. Saw a suggested post that opened with “Elon Musk is right” and nearly put my foot through the monitor.
Instead I calmly clicked that I wasn’t interested in the post, closed the tab, and made inarticulate snarling noises for five minutes.
As one does.

@WuMargaret thanks! Dark mode colors will be similar to what I’ve got now, but I thought I’d make sure I had light mode down pat first so it’s okay on common default settings.
