Apparently it’s too much to ask for GitHub issues to keep my scroll position when I navigate back/forward. Just make a normal website please.

I've said this before but I'm saying it again: when you're looking at your job, you should have:
- Good pay
- Good culture
- Good growth opportunities
If you have 2/3, it's not too bad, but 0 or 1/3, you might want to question why you're still at that job.

After about a week of trying it, I'm still feeling torn about browsing a joint mastodon/bluesky/everything feed in Reeder. Looks pretty but replies don't have any special treatment or placement so they just appear out of context.
