really needed new kicks (do we still call them kicks?) and i’m afraid these might be too cool for me. maybe @mikesuszek can give me a ruling.

there aren’t any wheels — it’s from the Tony Hawk ‘Ride’ Wii game. if i wanted wheels i’d bring this one up from the basement (and probably hurt myself)

and let me clarify; i don’t object to being put in a position of responsibility, i object to this particular position where i am responsible, but i have no agency. i want to support my team and let them do their best work — they rock, but i’m powerless to truly make decisions.

today for a while i actually wrote code and it actually worked and i was super happy with myself and definitely been reconsidering this shift towards pseudo-management which does not bring me joy. i love making things. i don’t love yelling at people to update Jira.

Hopper is semi-feral. he sort-of tolerates us. (my wife gave him a bath in 2009 and he hasn’t forgiven her yet). but i get about it 1/2hr of this every night if i sit on the couch.
