  • A-fucking-men.

    Been bitching about this for years to deaf ears.

    Old enough to remember when folks took pride in how few lines of code they could write to get something done. Not unreadably dense undocumented code. Just lean, clean, and efficient.

    There’s still a place for large complex software, but 99% of business apps that just move text strings, datetime values, and decimals around from point A to point B aren’t that place.




  • I’m really bad at remembering how to drive places, and always have been. Zero sense of direction. Pre-GPS life sucked ass for me in that respect.

    But I do miss pre-internet socializing. Phone (voice) calls, cocktail parties, cookouts with the neighbors, and work mixers could all be very pleasant experiences.

    Also miss not being tracked and recorded every minute of every day. It’s creepy AF how we leave digital trails everywhere we go now.
