I read this message and just got back from the local gas station where I saw someone with an acid bath hoodie. WTF?
Right! I was a little confused about them being exposed. I should have circled back with the team earlier!
Me a few weeks ago: Yeah, go ahead and implement some value objects. That'd be sick for domain operations.

Me now: Why are there value objects in the HTTP endpoints?
Nailed it. Glad you got around to it. =)
Spent way too much time in helm and xml files today. 💀
Today the remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics came out and I saw Sleep Token perform live.
I even wrote some code!
A very solid day. 🤘🏻

Oh heck yeah! I have yet to see DT sadly. Glad Portnoy is back with the guys.
This migraine is approaching 48 hours. It's been heck.
It's going to be a nice 7 years, IMO.
Nooooo don't say that! 😂
I've played through Tactics a few times, it's my favorite non mainstream title!
I'll be so sad if they do it dirty.
- Excited by all the Critical Role campaign 4 character artwork
- Realizing that the Final Fantasy Tactics release is in two weeks
- Motivated by current and upcoming work at my client
- Oh man I need coffee
- Other thoughts
- Anytime I open the news it dampens my mood
- Okay no srsly coffee
Foggy days best days.
I don't make the rules.
Saw one of my best buds perform vocals at a concert tonight. It was great to see so many wonderful friends in the crowd and do some catch-up. This all after an excellent and incredibly close WoW RFW. What a wonderful day.

Off to sleep! 😪
