Call it caring fatigue. There are causes that I care about and that I spend my time and energy on. But over the course of 2020-2025, every little thing-of-the-week issue that popped up demanded that I stop buying socks at target, or burritos at chipotle, canned beans or pens or video games or cloud services or t-shirts or shoes or plastic cups or what have you. I just don't have it in me to pretend to care about everything that everybody else cares about all the time. I'm picking my 2-3 things and sticking with them

The headline with William Gibson and neuromancer is always "He coined the term cyberspace! Helped invent the cyberpunk genre!" (i.e, the stuff that he writes about) But he's a fantastic writer as well, no matter what he writes about (he doesn't just write cyberpunk!). His prose is what makes him my favorite author, not just the stories he tells

Apple TV looks like it has a lot of great shows, but I'm already paying for a bunch of other streaming services and at this point I'm just not signing up for anymore on principle

You should Check out The Protomen

Light up the night is the best song

I personally love being married

Not really who I pictured for Molly but it's on Apple TV so I won't see it anyways lol

I think a person can be a pacifist, I don't think a country can

I'm kind of done with my boycott era

The price of games had to increase at some point. They've been $60 for like 30 years

Man people are so salty about this thing, but my wife and I are really excited for it

It's an internet thing. There's a lot of people online who code but have no jobs. 4chan's /dpt/ is full of them. They all code in ANSI C or Lisp or something

When I work on web projects at home I don't use any javascript at all. Just html and css. Interactions are handled via form submission. I'm working on a forum in asp.net mvc without any javascript at all

There's nothing interesting about it. It's a waste of storage space and computational power. It makes the world worse

I'd use it to make food

Straight up though the world peaked in the 2007-2010 in terms of culture. Everything has just gotten significantly worse since then and I feel bad for the zoomers and gen alpha who have to grow up in the 2020s

At work everything I do is in the Javascript/Web world. Typescript backend, webpack react, etc. I use C++ and C# for personal projects because I personally despise Javascript world

Shut up lmao

Because I'm tired of being told what to be outraged about

Im not an evangelist for windows (I won't try to convert you) but I'm unashamed of being a software engineer who uses Windows as my main dev platform

Hi I like Windows, I use it as my primary development platform
