Yall beat the Yankees so hopefully it’s a good time!

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 13h

That’s rad

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 19h

Ha that’s fair too!

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 19h

Let me know what you find! Also if you are remotely tech adjacent, happy to share this slack I’m in.

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 19h

Maybe it’s time to start one. I’m sure there is plenty of others going through it too

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 19h

That’s why I was “happy” to join that slack channel. It’s a ton of stories of people doing the same thing so there is collective knowledge. Hard to do that in real life with everything going on

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 20h

More than happy to share whatever I learn and be a little bit of a support system if you don’t have anything like that

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 20h

For real. Seems like these kinds of things are trial and error. Which isn’t reassuring at all.

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 20h

I’m sorry, it’s not a fun era :(

I’m not sure there is a much better wake up call in life than joining a slack channel to discuss aging parents.

Me: this may be one of the greatest baseball games ever.

Also me: can someone score please? I’m tired.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

ah haven't tried either of those, I do have a pair of Sony WHX's that are pretty good as well but I've never felt nauseous with them.

I have the AirPods Max and they cancel out _almost_ everything on a plane.

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 2d

Is that can of worms public somewhere? Would love to know what opposition to this RFC there was

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 2d

Wait til you go on an airplane. It’s magical.

I did it a few times when I commuted. The only downside is the office didn’t have any kind of shower. Baby wipes in the bathroom was the best I got.

Still think the west end chilis episode was the best

Matt Trask @matthewtrask.com · 2d

Spoiler: no trophy for West End Chilis. Another day, another disappointment in this city.

It's never a good sign when the General Public starts thinking about air traffic control. #ATC. (sigh) We tried to warn ya.

Here's a useful link for you. I'll show you how to use it in the remarks. #FAA #ATC #FlightDelays

Not yet because I’m not a big fan of the alternatives. So instead I’m just reading more books.

How much did developers give you to plant this post as a way to misdirect the conversation?
