Born with a lifelong hidden health issue, he lived longer than he would ever have without love and care
I miss him and his hugs and his companionship at the computer
Today I found this pic of him
So today I could finally leave X goodbye
I miss you boy
But I'm glad to have your memories here

Today I went up the second highest hill in Toronto on an e-bike
Yes, it was assisted
Yes, it was a small effort ultimately
But...it felt good to be able to do something

Threw the football around for a bit this morning with a guy who sleeps in a parkette I was walking past
Felt like old times with my Dad and kid
He was happy to throw it around & thanked me for stopping with him cause most "think we got the bubonic plague"
Life is too damn short to be judgemental 🏈

My wife, who is definitely not old*, has a cool cosmic forest green one of these we picked up earlier this year
* nobody in our family can call themselves old until they hit 90 - my Mom got there a couple of years ago but still does exercise classes three times a week 🙂

Training your hiring manager partners to lighten up
Frankly, a lot of developers do not have the skillset to interview! There are a lot who expect very rigid performances when you want interviewers who are able to be very adaptable.

I enjoy life in it
Is it perfect? No
Could it do with more density? Yes
But its transit friendly, walkable, now bikeable and has lots to offer and I'm glad I live in it

If your response is to type on social media "This might make me sound cold-hearted but "
Stop right there because - yeh - telling the world you are a cold hearted malignancy is not a good idea

This distinction can really disrupt a tailored outfit. On the left, we see how low rise, tapered trousers exacerbate the worst of this look (orphaned suit jacket with jeans, which looks like a sartorial mullet). The outfit on the right is even worse, as the man looks like Gru.

I have distinct memories of when the book Gen X came out and Silent Gens (not boomers) started freaking out about "the death of etiquette"
i am glad that millennials were exposed to enough lazy, decroded "millennials are killing the X industry" articles a decade ago that by and large our response to people doing the same to gen Z is "so what. mind your business"
I have learned that Gen Z expects the person calling to say "hello" first, instead of the person answering; upending a century of phone norms. You know what? fine, I say. Phone calls aren't what they used to be anyway www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-phone-...

I often see this picture jokingly discussing imposter syndrome & I usually flip that a bit & change who the hero is
So, my take
From the perspective of the other guys in the shot
"I hope one day I'll be able to tell him I also cried when Snuffulupagus finally appeared to people"
