You *don't* work better under pressure. It's just that, beyond a certain threshold of pressure, work becomes the path of least resistance.

Ok. Sigh. That might be it for me.

I’m not making a noisy departure, swearing I won’t be back. This may very well be me saying, “Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.”

But it might be time. Or past time, and I’m just catching up.

@AlexandraErin Yep. This is actually how the only “verification” available on Mastodon works, albeit in a more technical fashion—you can get a check mark verifying that a website in your profile belongs to you by putting some code on it that only someone with control of that site could.

The devil you know is worth two in the bush.

Wait. Let me start over.

I support efforts to unionize and regulate gig economy delivery work, because I believe everyone deserves to be paid fairly for unnecessarily hanging my order on the doorknob rather than setting on any flat surface, causing the drinks inside to spill and ruin the entire order.

I’m in the middle of “Steve Jobs and the NeXT Big Thing.” Great profile of Jobs and NeXT Computer from 1993. My biggest takeaway is due to the timing (e.g., when Jobs was running his then-failing company, years away from returning to Apple)—your story isn’t over until it’s over.

You can tell the online advertising market is super healthy right now, because when I watch YouTube, a product of Google, all of the ads are for Google Fiber, another product of Google.

Third time’s a crowd.

That’s a really weird autocorrect fail for “asshole coordinates.”

How could I leave Twitter? Where else am I going to see TikTok videos?

I’ve seen many people say they aren’t giving up on #Twitter without a fight, but a). there’s nothing to give up, he already has it, and b). I don’t think it qualifies as a fight if the other guy keeps compulsively shooting himself in the foot over and over again.

That’s my favorite @dmoren novel.

I realized today the most recent redesign pretty much killed Google news for me.

I used to go daily, sometimes multiple times a day. Now, I’m going weeks between visits.

Met the new training director for the first time this week.

Me: Hi! Great to meet you—I'm a big fan. Your 'All of your mandatory annual training courses are overdue' emails are some of the best I've seen!

Director of training: ...
