I make games held together with tape and good will, I make soaps and candles that smell nice, and I make bad jokes to the annoyance of friends and family.

Ever feel nostalgic for someone else's childhood? I just bought a Pokemon game that was last played in 2011 and a group of Pokémon with cute nicknames.
Lela, wherever you are, your Pokémon are safe with me.

Hot take: The best counter to the notion that programmers will be obsolete in 5 years is a 60 minute meeting with a non-programming manager that is trying to explain the project requirements

Things I hate about Icelandic winter: the cold dries out my lips, nose, and skin.
Things I love: I get to light dozens of candles and sit in the cozy glow with hot chocolate.

Today me and my wife all but ruined a boardgame for my in-laws.
... We pointed out that they had unknowingly been playing by the wrong rules. Suggesting that they'd just keep playing by their rules if they find that version more fun was apparently not suitable appeasement.

My primary motivation of being a member of my union: they let me rent a cabin for a week or two a year for dirt cheap. I'm a simple man, I like my summer cabins.
That, and all the benefits and occupational protections, those are nice too.
