Damn. A wonderful human in the Tamagotchi Community passed unexpectedly. I'm so sad, she was so kind and so young. I really thought we'd get to meet up some day and have our Tamas go on playdates...

Iโ€™m not someone who is typically susceptible to moral panics, but we cannot call ourselves a virtuous society when we have companies like Kalshi and Polymarket gleefully offering gambling odds on real-life war and genocide.

there's always been hucksters in our industry, to be sure, but the sheer level of "we don't care about the extreme harm this is causing" has been particularly glaring with the last 3-4 cycles (cryptocurrency, NFTs, metaverse, and now genAI, all scams, all destructive AF beyond anything before them)

I'm just kind of amazed that the past ~8 years or so of the tech industry have been basically reduced to a series of absolute fucking scams that opportunists latch on to as get-rich-quick schemes, no matter the cost to people, or the planet, and I just assume that's what we're gonna be going forward

oh this is for me having trouble picking a premade avatar that feels like "me" cause the only blonde women options are blue eyed

Please for the love of fuck when you design multiple blonde characters could ONE OF THEM HAVE BROWN EYES INSTEAD OF BLUE?

HELL, I'LL EVEN TAKE GREEN.

Finally completely wiped everything and reinstalled the OS on my previous-job laptop that they let us keep (2023 M3 Pro)

Oh hey a job I applied for and interviewed and got ghosted after an interview with the hiring manager back in December just showed back up on Indeed. Cool. Sounds like hiring is going well.

One of my biggest issues with live coding assessments is I'm trying to focus and mentally grok the assignment/existing code/some docs and then they interrupt my thought process and it's like ahhhhhHHHHHH I'M NOT STUCK I JUST AM TRYING TO READ MY WHOLE THOUGHT PROCESS IS NOW GONE

Everyone

This place had a TestGorilla assessment, then there would have been a live coding with an engineer AND THEN another takehome

also I'm sure I failed a live coding one with Molly's new place on Friday too. All 3 engineers staring me down. That's also the interview they forgot to include me

How the fuck has an appliance died every fucking month here? The microwave just made a weird noise and stopped working. No tripped breaker

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Technically the child of one of my cousins. Most of my memories of him are as a scrawny child visiting in summer, now he's like 6'5 fully tatted Navy guy
