Catastrophe At Takeoff

Not my goats, not my rodeo

Panama Canal continues to be the coolest industrial / geopolitical feat in history imho

Yea I am back on my bullshit (Panama layovers / talking about international trade / boats)

[CΛT @YVNG_CAT]

I always have layovers in Panama, but I never stop. Today’s the day. 10 hours in Panama City. Laser-focused on the canal.

The man, the myth, the legend. I’ve had more fistbumps today than my entire life leading up to this point.

The only thing I hate more than being told what to do is being told what to do by a man who knows less than me

A lateral promotion is when you change jobs so that you can wipe all of the recurring meetings from your calendar

[CΛT @YVNG_CAT]

*rubs the lamp* I wish to be the best I can be! Grow in my role! Lead a team of engineers!

*genie schedules 50hrs/week of meetings*

[CΛT @YVNG_CAT]

I can’t tell if I’m hot or nauseous or wearing a turtleneck or someone nearby is using the words “physical AI”

One day you're young and fun and the next you're searching "best phone camera for bird photos"

[CΛT @YVNG_CAT]

Like a gremlin emerging from a sewer into bright sunlight

Post-acquisition interaction

New IT department: When a new hire joins, does it automatically notify the existing IT team through the HR software?

Me, prying off a V key from a busted laptop to fix the keyboard on an otherwise-ok laptop: no, people usually just slack me

Friend says: "You should meet <a friend>. I think you would be friends."

What I hear: "I am networking through you."

[CΛT @YVNG_CAT]

Every time I want to get out of a customer-facing meeting, I just say that I think one of the men from our company would have more gravitas

[CΛT @YVNG_CAT]

This is also @SethElliott and his deskmate

[CΛT @YVNG_CAT]

It makes me so sad when people have two pets that hate each other

Can you imagine being imprisoned together with your mortal enemy until one of you dies?

Conexpo is a difficult place for people who have old white man face blindness

[CΛT @YVNG_CAT]

One time, I sat down in my seat on the plane and didn’t notice at first that the armrest was up, leaving myself vulnerable and exposed to maybe accidentally brushing against a stranger’s arm

By the time I noticed, it felt like the window of time to put it down had passed. It would be rude, like knowing someone for too long to ask their name.

So I just sat there the whole flight, exposed and extremely conscious of it.

*Hands you an orange slice* can you work this weekend?

[CΛT @YVNG_CAT]

I wore my fanciest balloon dog t-shirt for this

tech startups and street gangs both offer below-market comp and poor work-life balance, theoretically balanced by high potential upside that in reality rounds to zero if risk-adjusted, but the actual draw is mission, ownership over your work, and having fun with your friends

I feel like Ilia Malinin would love burning man and burning man would love Ilia Malinin
