Mormon friend just consoled me with “M.O.B” as a response.

… what have I done to this wholesome individual?

Ever notice how there's a huge disconnect between how the VC thought leader class talks about NFTs and crypto coins, and how your average software developer friends talk about it. Let me explain why.

the fact that miami is a proto-locus of much of this hype makes it extra worrisome.

how long did dot coms ipos last before they burst? what catalyzed it? i feel like i need to do more research.

my intuition is all i am going on here. feelings, not facts.

[Mathematical Michael @COmpMathematics]

all the nft & metaverse hype is giving me real dot com bubble vibes.

nike, mcd’s, banks?!… execs w shaky understanding tryna make a quick buck. i am nervous.

predicting a crash is easy, timing it is almost impossible. should i divest and let inflation take its cut? when?

Deployed my app on a raspberry pi and hosted it on the dark web just for kicks.

If you end up visiting, would love to know how the user experience was, load times, any other feedback too.

@martachecko @CUDenver yeah trying to coordinate with my officemates. there's literally just a couple photographs in silly costumes that would be really nice to take together.

[Mathematical Michael @COmpMathematics]

Wow so not only do I NOT get to wear the fancy phd robes / walk at graduation,

but they didn't even send me an invite for the first opportunity to do so. Officemate got one (how I found out).

Hey CU Denver, if you want my donations like… ever, this isn’t it.

[Mathematical Michael @COmpMathematics]

One of my favorite silly things to do is follow corporations on youtube who don’t use it for social media but just to embed videos on their websites.

Commercials like this popping up in my “subscriptions” feed are always an interesting change of pace.

[Mathematical Michael @COmpMathematics]

well well well, what do we have here?

shocking development, I know.

[Mathematical Michael @COmpMathematics]

@CUDenver Had I not been in touch with a more recent grad I wouldn’t have even known about the november deadline. I think extending the invite instead of shifting the burden of responsibility onto me to be checking for updates is the right thing to do.

[Mathematical Michael @COmpMathematics]

@TylerJBurch @NIUlive Oof.
Also… Phds deserve permanent emails, we’ve done enough labor to deserve that distinction at least.

Like, I shouldn’t have trouble accessing papers even (not that I needed to go thru the library, most authors in my field posted pdf versions linked on their sites).

[Mathematical Michael @COmpMathematics]

Not to mention i defended during the election debacle, twitter was too focused on that so my accomplishment tweet got no attention.

And one calls phds “doctor”, so like…

FFS 6+ years of work and then a year of what feels like no recognition or benefit from it, is upsetting
