Trying to code email templates is a nightmare.
WHY does every email provider have to be "helpful" with auto-inverting text colors and images.
For instance, some respect media queries. Others (*cough cough* gmail, iOS, and outlook) will be receiving an invoice from my therapist next week 😩

I've just been using "predictive text" but I like this better
Whenever I hear “artificial intelligence”, I’ve started to mentally swap it for “word calculator”. Helps to show up who is talking sense and who is not

Yes, they can make robots that replace workers, but until they make robots that buy the useless crap that they produce, I don't see much point.

1/I understand legit debate re: #DEI & whether pendulum swung too far, too quickly.
But what happened today at @NSAGov's @NatCryptoMuseum is unacceptable. Trump Admin new DEI policy disgraces cryptological historical trailblazers & icons in community.

Watching my nextjs app compilation time in an nx monorepo decrease from 28sec to 50ms after 8 hours of refactoring away from barrel files.
A single tear rolls down my cheek.
"The imports are so fucking ugly now," I whisper to myself.

And this is exactly why I'm switching over to Proton from Google Business Suite this week.
If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.
