decided to clean up my home directory and accidentally deleted ~/tools

Metatron seems to have a weird life - in one of his three canonical appearances, it's noted that he's allowed to sit down because writing and standing at the same time is hard. Someone remarked on this, saying that, obviously, because Metatron can sit down, he is Like God, and God - rather than explaining that it's Not Like That, Dude - got so jealous that he whipped the shit out of Metatron with a fire stick?

I need to read more about this.

why does nobody talk about Metatron, the heavenly scribe from the Talmud who is OBVIOUSLY a Decepticon

Both of my last gigs were cool until I realized what people thought of the work I did, which was "this doesn't really help us at all" or "this is just invented work" - neither in reference to a specific thing I was working on, but rather to the entire problem domain I was working in.

Got one from a manager and another from a tech lead that I really wanted to work with. Both really hurt and made me wonder if I'm cut out for software at all.

I'm getting laid off in a month and it comes with a pretty decent severance, but the closer I get to the date the less I want to try anything.

I seem to get jobs doing weird shit nobody wants to do or cares about, with no team support. At this point I'm seriously considering exiting software entirely and flippin burgs while I figure out what to do next.

I like tech, I like writing code, but I hate watching my colleagues participate while I fuck around with their tooling all day

I wonder if the people who put NES OSTs together know about how much their influence is visible - err, audible - in the chiptune scene.

I kind of want to play with Flutter a little bit, mostly because it scratches a Cool Runtime Target itch I didn't know I had until I learned about Fuschia

alright, it's just like... 10 lines of code, I can write this.

if I don't find myself browsing the Reddit for a fucking hour and tweaking my coporscheme AGAIN

TNG has had me pretty much captivated since episode 1, and I'm like halfway through season two. I cannot BELIEVE I don't hear about it more often

I need to find a thing to make my computer do, so that i can sink some time into making my computer do it

I had a conversation with my then-manager a while back about what PNGs are, and it seemed super cool, so I had the idea to write up some PNG libraries during the quarantine, but... I don't know much about C, and libpng already exists, so it feels kind of dumb to even consider wrapping my brain around how it works

Who could have guessed that New Horizons literally means they're doing a cool new thing with the horizon in-game

I'm holding off on Doom Eternal in favor of Animal Crossing for three reasons:
1. I'm still having a fucking blast with the last Doom
2. I don't know if Doom Eternal and Linux get along yet
3. My roommate might actually play Animal Crossing with me during the quarantine

sad fact: ferrets can get Covid-19

haha, a single adventure in Swift has turned me into a blathering idiot

i know a poor tradesman blames his tools, but good lord xcode makes zero sense to me

remember the days when the most heated discussion you'd had about viruses was whether or not they classified as living things?

"he learned nothing"

why is there not an "unkempt beard + ponytail" gang

ok so

it turns out Nietzsche may have actually been crazy as fuck, and he's not just misunderstood

holy shit this guy

The results are in: when it comes to whether or not people lower their ears to their headphones to put them in, most people have no idea what the hell you're talking about! Thanks everyone!
