I have said it countless times, and I’ll continue to say it for those who care to listen. I like women a lot. You may not understand the depth to which I like them, but every chance I get, I’ll continue to list reasons why.
Today, I like women because of how ruthless they are when it comes to choosing themselves. Women put themselves first, unapologetically. They are insensitive in situations that require empathy, privacy, or genuine respect for the person affected.
Last year, a guy replied to a tweet in which he said he broke up with his then-girlfriend because she has PCOS, and hell broke loose on this app. Women called him a misogynist, an incel, and every sort of demeaning and disgusting name for his CHOICE.
To make it worse, there were also men who tried to make him feel bad, gaslight him, and insult him for that same CHOICE. That tweet has over 5 million impressions because they kept dragging him for that single CHOICE.
Go through the comments and quotes on this tweet: it is filled with “valid” from women especially, and they don’t see anything wrong with it. In fact, I respect that about them, because, just like I said earlier, I like women a lot. And one of the things I like about them is how unapologetically ruthless they are when making decisions, especially regarding men and dating.
There’s no scenario where a woman wouldn’t put herself first. Whether it hurts you or not is irrelevant. Men should learn from them.
We hired a new VP of Engineering who is obsessed with agile methodology.
He called a meeting on his first day and said we need to transition to 2-week development sprints.
He wanted daily stand-ups, retrospective boards, and continuous deployment pipelines.
He wanted us to actually write new code.
I realized immediately that he was an existential threat to my lifestyle.
I let him finish his impassioned speech about workflow velocity.
Then I stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and drew a single horizontal line.
I told him agile sprints are a localized solution for a localized mindset.
I said our infrastructure operates on a Zenith Release Cycle.
He asked what a Zenith Release Cycle was.
I told him it's a holistic, macro-stabilization framework where we observe the system in a state of prolonged stasis.
By not touching the code for 18 months, we allow the legacy dependencies to organically settle.
I told him that deploying bi-weekly updates creates micro-abrasions in our database architecture.
I used the phrase chronological data scarring.
The CEO was in the room and audibly gasped.
He told the new VP that we can't risk chronological data scarring just to satisfy a trendy tech buzzword.
The VP looked at me like I'd just invented a new color.
He was completely paralyzed by the sheer density of my fabricated jargon.
He quietly agreed to adopt the Zenith Release Cycle.
We're officially scheduled to deploy our next update in the third quarter of 2027.
I spent the rest of the afternoon buying things I don't need on Amazon.
Agile is a disease invented by people who want to be punished for their salary.
I refuse to participate in my own suffering.
