(for the record - if you’re thinking of making a cabinet from 3/4” melamine sheets, it’s tedious. and heavy - 90lbs/sheet. next time i would use plywood and paint it white)

in the background of my
previous photo: this lamp. the original shade wasn’t made from UV resistant plastic i guess; it brittled and cracked. i jokingly made a replacement shade out of a cottage cheese container.
the cottage cheese container has lasted for 8 years so far.

TIL after airpods pro read you a text message, they listen to you and transcribe what you are saying as a reply to the sender. I was walking my dog and didn’t intend to reply to my friend asking if they had to pee and would they just pee and stop sniffing those weeds and please

I put a lot of effort into supporting my team and bolstering their agile discipline, I expect them to continue to do great work in my absence. For myself, now:

For what it’s worth, I was involved in a “Resource Action” which is a nicer way to say “staff reduction” or “layoff.” I was as surprised as most of my coworkers and acquaintances were when I told them.

I started this week with my last day at IBM. I’m regrouping, dusting off my résumé and catching up on the latest dev trends.
I will be looking for work as I continue to get my head into dev mode again. You have all been posting a lot of material to absorb 😃

remember that app that would generate a snarky commentary on your spotify history?
you did go to your account and de-authorize it afterward, right?
or else could still be creeping on your spotify activity

(hindsight) anytime you’re assigned a new manager you should schedule a mock interview with them so you can demonstrate what you’re good at doing, especially if your current job requirements have changed to be something different.
