i’m starting to think that big companies make monoliths because the regulatory overhead of ISO certification and other compliance efforts is too great to perform for many, or even several, smaller applications.

remember at the beginning of quarantine, all the kindness and accommodation we offered each other about working at home distractions and competing priorities and obligations?
can we bring that back and make it permanent?

what i can say is, when you are approaching a new piece of work, consider how this will contribute to your future of work. how can you steer the ship of your career to end up in a place where you are still enthusiastic, versus tolerating whatever will continue to bring you income

when i was young i was able to find work that was exciting to me and i excelled at. as i got older it shifted to work that tested my ability to tolerate the tedium of managing complexity and mitigating risk. i don’t know how to advise you to avoid following my path, but

i hesitate to talk about these topics because i’m a basic middle-aged white guy who should be grateful i have a job, and i am grateful. i’m not expecting sympathy. i hope i can bring this up as a precautionary tale for anyone who sees this.

i’m hitting a point in my career where the bulk of my work is incredibly valuable to my employer but not at all interesting or enjoyable to me. and the longer i spend creating/preserving value for them, the more my skills and my spirit wanes.

i could not add a bank account to my apple pay account because the only way to verify i own it was to send a text to the number associated with the account. a land line.
apple literally never prepared for people to own phone numbers that cannot receive texts.

i just realized most people who follow me have no idea what this is. Golive Cyberstudio was the first “good” WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) webpage editor. I didn’t know it existed, until someone handed me a free copy
