i had a recruiter chat in '23 encourage me to start making posts so I'd be noticed and when i asked "why would i want to be noticed at random on linkedin when my skills are very specific and refined" the subject changed very quickly.

I know everyone is bitter, frustrated and traumatized. The world is growing increasingly unhinged by the day and the economy is squeezing us tighter every moment.

But the least we can do is hold fire until we know what we're shooting at. Don't go lashing out at everything based on gut feelings.

"why didn't they use [x method or library]?"

well you see it didn't exist. game devs were banging rocks together to figure out how to have more than 8 colours.

A black and white illustration showing the character Molly Millions from the works of William Gibson.

Pinterest threw this up and I love it so much; wicked cool depiction of Molly Millions. The related images section tells me that this was an illustration for an album or an audiobook or a combination of both, not quite sure.

Please slide into the comments if you happen to know who the artist is.

plus genuinely learning to prepare your own meals enables you to cook for friends or a date. the only person I know who'd turn down my cooking would only do so because he has a lot of food allergies, and he'd still come hang out anyway. the problem of loneliness is one... kinda put upon people.
