It's so fucking wild to me that companies REALLY want you to use AI, that they're really invested in you using it for who knows what reasons. Why the hell does it matter how you write your code?
The one positive about not having a full time job is not being forced to use AI. So, so glad about that.

Finally signed up for Crucial Tracks if anyone else is there! I'm trying to get back into listening to music more, and posting a new song that means something to me every day is a good way to do it. I'm at https://app.crucialtracks.org/profile/starshaped!

A great way to tell that you need a break from Discord? Closing the app but then clicking the app in your dock reflexively without even knowing you're doing it.

A plant I bought a little over 6 years ago to celebrate getting the job I was laid off from in March is on its last legs and I’m so sad. I suppose it’s fitting, but it’s sad just the same.

Today I turned 45 and spent the day with my sister’s in-laws. I got cake and it was delightful. Oh yeah, and it was that other holiday too, but I like remembering my birthday first and foremost.

Spent this Christmas Eve / the day before my birthday getting my nails painted a glittery red, then treating myself to a sushi lunch. Now I’m home watching the snow fall and I’m feeling nice and cozy.

How I can tell it's been a rough year: I haven't been posting either here or on my blog, and I haven't wanted to listen to music in months. I want to change these now so here I am, posting! May 2026 be way, way better.

Today I ran a 5k without stopping to walk for the first time in years and while I’m not fast by any stretch of the imagination, I’m still proud of myself. Those hills were no joke!

The AI Mandate
I’ve been hearing from more and more friends who are having AI forced upon them and rammed down their throats at work. Goals and bonuses tied to using AI at work AI working groups 1x1 meetings where “how are you using AI in your work right now” is the main talking point Getting “voluntold” to teach coworkers about something cool you can do with AI Senior developers telling junior devs to “ask AI” instead of actually mentoring them Lets not mince words: this is cult shit.
