I quite like Bad Bunny even though I don't understand any Spanish and I'm very very confused by how this is hard for people.

Like, I'd probably like his music even more if I did understand Spanish. But its good - anyone can tell.

There's really nowhere better to work than a well funded startup finding traction in a solid market other than developers.

"Tier 1" big name tech is frankly exhausting to work for. "Tier 2" is where it's at.

Just had a USAF civilian service member who I have worked with before send an email that she is taking early retirement. Not sure how it was offered to her, but there's definitely a lot of discontent.

BTW - Everyone in defense thinks about the best interests of Americans all the time.

Don't let politics at the top lead you to believe the people on the ground are anything other than dedicated servants of America.

Theres very weird tension to being a progressive working in defense. I spend lots of time wondering "Is this contract in the best interests of America at this tumultuous time?🤔"

And then the engineer in me is like "wait... Tell me more about how it goes BOOM."

One thing management makes me think a lot about is how disconnected our organizational fit as employees is from our actual value as humans.

We have no weekend plans and Matt has a cold. I'm debating whether to go get a flu shot and just call the weekend a wash.

Coming to realize burning man is just RV dry camping - an activity I do all the time.

So I have already experienced it. No need to go.

The whole Internet is freaking out about flesh eating screw worms and nobody is pointing out that Ivermectin actually is an effective treatment.

Where is the rush on horse dewormer now?

We stayed at the Arizona Biltmore a couple months ago and now I can't book a hotel to save my life because they are all not the Arizona Biltmore.

This is like learning what first class airfare is like but more expensive.

I gotta give SoCal credit - every time I go somewhere not there that's beach I'm like "this is super cool. But also is it really better than SoCal, a two hour flight away with zero time change?"

Like, SoCal is not better than everywhere. But it's as good as everywhere.

As someone who does not want more kids and certainly hasn't googled anything about it, it's INCREDIBLE how many targeted ads I get about fertility products.

Would actually be kinda horrible if I were dealing with infertility...
