right, can anyone who knows a bit about UK data protection tell me why it's ok for literally ever company I have bought something from now to email me saying 'ooh, tell us how we did please!"
What part of buying a product means I've implicitly opted into those emails? I HATE it.

I cried at least five times reading this book. It is like it was written for me. Yeah it's about weightlifting but it's also about learning to take care of yourself and to trust yourself. I love it.
Today is the day! My book is out in the world. It’s not a friendly world for writing about science or women or especially women’s bodies right now. But I’m so proud to be telling a story that makes a certain type of person very, very angry. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/casey...

The flip side of this is the male author who was asked about his writing routine, and who talked about how much he loved the feeling that he could close his door and then “the day is completely yours” to focus on writing. He had, at the time, two young children… and, of course, a wife

had all sorts of big plans for what I was going to do in the week off before I start my new job (build a server less twitter clone and all ci/cd piplines for it) but in the end I've just been rereading The Pragmatic Programmer for the first time since 2018 and what a bloody great book

I keep thinking "wow it's great I fixed my relationship with food, now I eat what I want and it's good satisfying stuff" but what actually happened was:
my ADHD got diagnosed, I eat for dopamine much less, plus I now take amphetamines every day which cut my appetite in half.

I'm working on part of the codebase that no one has touched since I set it all up two years ago, a greenfield project. getting some genuine pangs of empathy and nostalgia for my former self, who knew everything about how she was going to set things up and build this project exactly right 🥹
