I make bad art.
This should be a rule in software. Sometimes I don't know which one I'm working on until it's too late.
Yeah... That makes sense.
You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Show me that cool app you vibe coded and I'll show you how to scale it.

I've built a career out of taking on existing projects and keeping them running in production environments.

Every single republican president in my lifetime has started shit in the Middle East.

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social I really wish you were president instead of trump. You actually listen to advisors and you actually seem to care. I’m sorry you were plucked from the senate before you had time to mature a bit. Stay strong. Fellow millennial.

I am of the generation that had to teach their parents how to smart phone, and teach their kids how to copy / paste.

Millennials are the tech support generation.
