My news feed has informed me that laptops are now being made with Blu-ray and dvd drives!
What will they think of next? Maybe we can have computers that live under your desk that you don't have to carry around... 🤔

I don't want to alarm anyone, but I only have 7 tabs open in Chrome right now.

I see no problem here. 😁

I think about this tweet a lot. Especially lately.

How do you balance chores, errands, work, career building side projects, relationships, and basic bio functions like food and sleep?

I'm not dating and don't have kids, so I don't have that excuse, but also don't have any one to share the responsibility and I'm tuckered.

Also, those groups I closed... I forgot about them, so those don't count... Right?

6 days until I get the keys to my new townhouse and 14 days worth of packing left.

What's the mashed up emotion for excited, overwhelmed, nervous, and exhausted? 😜

Today in physical therapy I had a direct current run through my entire body with a specialized TENS machine with electrodes on my feet and neck.

Now I know how Frankenstein's monster felt. 😄

No one told me the hardest thing about software engineering was compartmentalizing the state of the world so you can focus.

The struggle is real.
Especially when I can tell the response is copy paste from GPT and has no human thought. 😭

I'm starting to wonder how many people I interact with on a daily basis don't know how to carry on conversations with me because I'm not an AI echo chamber?

I'm fairly certain Dante left out the circle of hell for people who don't follow process. I think it's right after fraudsters and before the betrayers and mutineers.

Well that wasn't on my bingo card.

In unhealthy relationships, people walk on eggshells to avoid conflict. They tell you what you want to hear.

In healthy relationships, people have the courage to address conflict. They tell you what you need to hear.

Silence protects fragile ties. Candor strengthens real bonds.

Feeling immensely vindicated about calling AI the new DotCom Bubble over a year ago.

Note: The internet was still powerful and amazing and changed lives even as the bubble burst, but was maybe a little too hyped and marketed to maintain a market stability?

Hot flashing like I'm personally responsible for climate change while avoiding an argument with AI developers that a validation should be true or false and a third option is not really necessary.

Leadership protip:
Sometimes being Kind is orthogonal to being Nice.

Being Kind is giving painful but necessary feedback to help someone correct a potentially detrimental behavior or habit.

Being Nice is avoiding giving feedback to avoid hurting their feelings.

Ok... I've been putting it off for far too long...
What password keepers are y'all using and why?

It's time for me to start caring and using less brain power to remember my last 12 passwords to roughly a gazillion sites.

Someone explain to me why I, the non-customer facing education content creator, know more about these accounts, their goals, and the people in them than their AEs.
