How many fellow software devs are finding it hard to write software lately? Is it too many frameworks or languages? Is it too many assignments? Is it life outside work that drains more than you can put back?

Was thinking about old PC gaming in the late 80s and early 90s. These AI-generated pics remind me of those days.

Wow. Been a while since I flew Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024... and the graphics and experience seem to have gotten better.

MUCH better. #microsoftflightsimulator2024 #msfs2024 #fs2024 #flightsim #cirrus #cirrusly #cirrusvisionjet #visionjet

My parents were right. Sometimes the beauty of one quiet moment - even if it's only for a minute - when you're looking at the sunset sky with no thoughts through your head...
...that's divine. #sunset #aquietevening #juststopandlisten #slowdown #youareenough #Godblessyou

If you're a developer, working remotely, who's also a caregiver, I would be interested to chat with you. Would like to know your typical schedule and some of the challenges you've faced. #softwaredeveloper #devlife #caregiver #caringforthoseyoulove

Did I just go micro? I'm sitting at my desk next to my desktop and decided to use my Pis instead. I'm saving a little energy and still getting a great desktop experience with my Pi 4. (I'm doing some breadboard things for fun.) #raspberrypi #pi4 #pi3b

When do you leave a job?

When a coworker never stops bothering you?

When your boss keeps you from growing?

When work assignments are massive and you have no help?

When the landscape is toxic?

When you take a pay cut?

Devs: if you're unhappy, I'm here. Talk to me. #devlife #coder #softwarejobs

Realized I've gaslit myself for most of my developer career.

I've pushed myself further than I ever thought, in multiple sectors, for multiple brands, in various programming languages.

I've been incompetent, slow, and inefficient.

But I don't remember slacking to pass time. #devlife #coder

Once upon a time, I flew Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D flight simulator. Versions 4 and 5 of the flight sim carried some of the highest use rates until Microsoft released their flight simulator update in 2020 (and 2024).

I sometimes like tinkering with things more than building them. Maybe that's why I like messing around with Raspberry Pi machines (and some Linux distributions).

Some recent video game adventures. I commonly enjoy Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
