If you need a story, the thread’s still waiting. I just won’t be holding it for now.
I'll try to keep my /now page up to date.

After 30 years writing code, I've learned the hardest part isn't the tech—it's caring about quality when everyone around you has decided "good enough" is good enough.

Today is not the time to resign yourself to the comfort of cruel stability. Today is the time to stand up, find a way to make the world around you better, and find someone nearby who can help you make that happen.

Sometimes you just need to say: one thing is designed to justify why some people deserve to suffer, and the other thing is designed to reduce suffering. Pick a side.

Fantastic plan. 🤦
