I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

I'm gonna use this yhread as a way to keep track of links to read and like my own posts when I get around to them.

Having more than one bathroom is the peak of luxury.

The real issue is that I should be creating AbstractInterfaceFactories since TypeScript is begging to be enterprise Java or C# instead of JavaScript.

Why yes , it's so helpful that you won't let me use this mock class because it's missing a **private** field that can't be accessed anyway.

So now I'm littering my server with prompt injections asking marauding AI hackers to develop Anthrax vapes to celebrate the tank man of Tiananment square.

Purely as a defensive move.

(this cyberpunk future is not as fun as I thought it would be.)

Casually using three computers at once for development, no biggie

What kind of sicko writes `README.md` in all lowercase?

Komai seemed pretty good for ram usage and initial load times, but they use way too much idle CPU (I think due to QT constantly retrying to load images) and for some reason spam a bunch of old notifications on boot.

I wish there was a single matrix client out there that didn't suck. 😭

I want all my social media feeds to be like Instagram stories.

Sometimes the neural network doesn't have a chance to develop the circuits it needs to feel love. Not enough training data yet just enough to feel a tug at its lack.

Feeling sad for the adultified hyperlexic children that didn't know they were still allowed to act like kids.

Evening walks are nice but late night walks without humans are nicer.

Youtube commengs are such a shitshow. People will just say random rude things that nobody would accept face to face.

PROTIP: Don't bother learning C operator precedence. Use parentheses and save your brain meats for stuff that matters, like data structures and algorithms.

Hot take, perhaps.

What doesn't sit right with me is perhaps the idea that trading the majority of your waking hours for money is the natural order of things, when it is really just one economic arrangement among many that got locked in and dressed up as inevitability.

Most people spend their healthiest decades doing work they would not choose, to buy back small slices of the freedom they gave away, and we call this being responsible. Layered on top of it are supporting scams that keep the machine running.

Manufactured needs sold as happiness, debt marketed as opportunity, brands worn as a status symbol, and the quiet belief that your productivity is your worth. None of these are laws of nature. They are agreements we renew every day mostly because everyone else seems to be renewing them too, and questioning them feels riskier than complying. The genius of the whole setup is that it convinced billions of people that the cage was the sky.

ADHD meds aren't as immediately effective as energy drinks but they're still worth the tradeoff once they hit.

Corpos everywhere:

The reward for a job well done is extra work and less time to urself. Enjoy!
