I don't get high, I don't smoke, I barely even drink anymore unless there's some celebration being held. That said, no one should be in prison for weed.

My body is ready! I had a CPU/MEM usage tool a while back, and was always a bit uncomfortable with it since a lot of it was translated from a language I couldn't read.
This feature is so welcome!

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Tell me you've never worked with COBOL without telling me you've never worked with COBOL.

If you're attending college now, and you're looking for a surefire career that will net you great pay for the foreseeable future, learn COBOL.

You'll make a fortune fixing all the damage AI does to banks.

Got in a car accident today. Everyone's fine. Physically okay. Mentally, I'm beating myself up even though I wasn't at fault. I just wish I didn't get in my car, you know?
Ugh. 😩

Jetbrains Rider is now crashing on me multiple times a day on my Mac. Despite my Windows machine having issues with gaming performance, it (Rider) is reliable on there. I'm now primarily using VS Code forks for my .NET work on the Mac. It's a real bummer.
