As half my timeline is currently posting from #reinvent, please allow me to rant about a topic I care deeply about: swag.
Taking a male cut t-shirt, changing nothing about it other than maybe printing a few extra XS sizes, and calling it “unisex” is not, in fact, unisex.

Lately, I have been meeting a lot of skilled creatives,
if there is one thing common across all of them
they all hate operations
hindering them from monetizing their skills
they also hate exchanging freedom for money
again hindering them from monetizing their skills

I wish someone had told me that silence is a signal and that no feedback is feedback. I learned it the hard way.
As Software Engineers, sometimes we are clouded to social signals, which is a huge disadvantage when we enter the business world.

It was particularly fun to write this Coffee Shop metaphor on the disruption that imposed algorithms bring to social conversation.

Living the laptop life so that I can do something lively.
Yesterday did a Discovery Scuba Dive
woah woah! The underwater is a magical place. Despite the fact I can't swim or float. I did it.
Thanks to my dive master buddy @sayab.bsky.social for motivating me to do this
