i admire people (in a very specific way) who are passionate about coding and claim that it is all-consuming for them. but i certainly don't set that expectation for all, and i won't rely on them to produce more than others; if their life priorities shift, my project would die.

Also there’s been a lot of controversy and hatership about Dark Mode but I can say after a few hours using it my eyes feel SO MUCH better. If it’s not for you, turn it off and enjoy your day. Why hate.

so using "@-here" on Slack is the new reply-all, along with the "@-here" shaming that follows.

it can get better. the only way to know what will happen is to hang on.

put your energy into being more aware. of your feelings, of your environment, of the things around you and within you that influence your mood. realize that what you are experiencing does not define you.

mental health awareness day coming the day after my birthday. always a difficult time introspectively.

i’ve previously tried to encourage anyone suffering to seek help, but the reality is, professional help is only available to a privileged few.

so instead i will offer this…

this is the real danger about being pushed in directions you don't really want to go. the forces pushing you are also burning the bridges behind you as you move

as my responsibilities move farther away from what i'm passionate about (and i was good at) it gets tougher to make the argument that i need to change focus back to (those things) because i'm no long as good at the latest techniques, since my experience has lapsed

this begin-to-reply-and-then-delete extends to things where someone tweets something in apparent frustration and i type a reply trying to help then i wonder if they were actually just venting and i don’t want to mansplain so i delete my draft reply

that thing where you follow awesome people on twitter who tweet funny things that make you laugh, and you want to make them laugh too so you type out a reply that riffs on their joke, but then you don’t want to look like a jerk trying to 1-up them so you delete your reply.
