If I don't see you again, be nice to each other. I'm sorry it had to end this way but we'll always have that special Twitter day when Lamar Jackson had to take a dump during the 4th quarter. Elon will never be able to take those memories away. ✌️
And so we've come to the end. These are the last tweets (or X or florps or whatever). I have been eyeing an exit strategy for a while but a combination of the rebrand and exodus of people I follow plus the super toxic Utes discourse this week showed me I no longer belong here.
I'll still lurk here until the lights go out and everybody finds a new home. I'll be culling my lists and follows so if I drop you it's probably because I found you somewhere else. I use my real name on all the various socials so holla at me if you see me.
The new Dad Culture podcast, “The Pursuit of Dadliness,” is officially in production. First guest is the fantastic @edsbs, with a talk about the definition of a “hoss,” college football, and Warhammer 40k, followed by @benfowlkesMMA, @nataliapetrzela, and @david_j_roth. Stoked!!!
Shopped at Target and then watched Barbie. I know you're intimidated. It's natural to have these feelings in the presence of such massive amounts of woke.
I've been told my entire career that I need to write less code as I move up but the older I get I write more and more and better and better code. Maybe I won't hit the apex before I retire and/or die but I'm sure going to try.
This is incorrect. The more senior you are the more important it is to write code. You owe it to yourself and you owe it to your team. They want to see leaders living their same life, not writing documents and coasting on a few artifacts from a decade ago.
The best part of aging is that we all suffer in our own unique ways. Half way to 48 and I slipped down some slippery ass marble stairs in Athens a month ago and it still hurts to sit. I wouldn't mind a little sleepiness tbqh.
if you're a young person, ask a middle-aged man what music they listened to in the 90s. let them talk for 30 mins. act interested and say "oh wow no way that's so cool." after that you can ask them for any favor
