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. 😅

Thread of stuff I wanna buy. Will "like" my own toot if I get it.

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.

Remember that the season is transitioning and your body is more likely to make you crave change. If you listen to it make sure to think through the tradeoffs.

Not great being a side chaeacter in somone's paperclip maximizer speedrun. 🥲

Kinda want to start carrying a brick around when I walk.

Been enjoying hosting monthly parties. This month is sushi themed where everyone will bring some toppings and we'll all make a bunch of rolls to pass around.

Feels goos to be getting back into my usual parts of the codebase after wresting with a bunch of other bits for a while.

Kinda disappointed that one guy didn't actually fight a chimp but it's probably for the best that it got cancelled.

That clove of pickled garlic might have been a bit too much right before sleep. 🤤😵

Considering getting an eink phone for real as a "travel phone" so I can get better battery and not worry as much about losing it.

Is profiting from stock via dividends still a thing or are we stuck gambling with stock price fluctuations?

Taking all my willpower to not say "figma nuts". Every time I review designs.

Showed my zoomer friend Invader Zim and now they're obsessed with Gir. 💜

Grinding dog residue so I can put temmi through college 💪

I don't need those new gambling apps cause I gamble every time I choose to fill up on gas or wait for a better price.

Every line of code you own is a liability. Adding more of it faster is a great way to paint yourself into a corner.

Emulating a sync API over an async RPC channel is hell. This is exactly why I don't like "magical" APIs and frameworks that prioritize "ease of use" while hiding details.
