i don't understand how i'm supposed to feel when i get happy birthday messages from people who only ever talk to me to send me happy birthday messages. but i can tell you what i do feel, and it certainly ain't happy.

Hearing business leaders talk about agents as though they are a real thing is so fucking crazy making, dude, how do I escape this fucking industry

Engineers at Microsoft are being encouraged to vibe code if they want to be part of the "AI First" org. Seriously. Not a joke.

All the project managers I've met love this shit. All of them.

this is the ONE THING I concede to AI bros: the natural language processing improvements are honestly kinda cool. that's the only thing, though. it's like a Gordon Ramsay pasta sauce served on raw spaghetti. that's also broken in half for some reason.

just sat through a user research presentation comparing 2 participatory design tools. they came to grand conclusions and were praised for their study design. their study consisted of 5 people and only 2 of them used both tools. we are not a serious discipline. no wonder people find AI convincing.

i hate that i'm having one of the worst mental health crises of my life at a time when i really should be focused on how to make the world better. but maybe that's related. and i have to adjust my oxygen mask first.

i'm probably smart enough to Be Somebody. but i'm probably not strong enough to Be Somebody. i need to be strong enough to be ok with that or to do something about it.
