Used to work in a nest then in a fruit stand, now I work in a bank. I like playing guitar badly. Tired. Probably not even lurking here, if you need to find me and you don't know how then you probably don't need to find me.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

I feel a special connection with SRE. I inevitably gravitate towards making fast friends with folks in that org. They’re the cool kids and I just want to prove I can hang.

I’m still a JVM obsessed dork. Java has been my go-to, especially since I enable previews. Scala grew on me but Kotlin seems like a nice compromise. Go is growing on me. Fuck Python.

I ended up quitting. It was mostly killing me working there. Much happier these days.
A promotion is impossible at my current company and I’m not interested in management here either.

My initial grant will run out in 18 months. I have max two years at this place before I need to move again. With three kids entering college every other year starting in 2027 and an emphasis on semi-retirement by 55 (12 yrs), I need to maximize income.

Walked out of an interview today. Everyone thinks they have a unique process that’s gonna tell them something that everyone else’s won’t. I just don’t have the time or capacity to care about it anymore. I also realize I’m interviewing for the wrong types of roles.
