THE DREAM
What everyone wants is the productivity of working for a green field project that hasn't onboarded a single customer while working at a money printing company where any data redesign attempt requires petabytes of data to be migrated without any outages or data loss.

Went snail hunting after the rains. Macro mode on phones is off the charts these days.

Time to buy more controllers…

As an American I'm pretty jealous of Finnish politics where their biggest scandal is apparently the Prime Minister being too cool.

Wise words
top advice on time management given to me today: "if you care about it, put it in your calendar"
With this one simple trick, you can ensure that you PR does in fact get reviewed in a timely manner.
Whenever I see some version of "do not review" on a PR, I feel extremely compelled to see what is going on in that PR. It immediately grabs my attention!

Love it when your bank times out their 2FA app due to inactivity and locks you out of everything. What’s the fucking point?
