I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

I spent a lot of my twenties shedding away the things I liked in my teens trying to 'grow up'. Things like video games, anime, manga, toys and drawing.
I regret it deeply now that I'm in my thirties and am working to re-embrace it.
I've also never felt more grown up.
Like what you like. Be you.

About links, bluesky loves them. Please unlearn the link-in-reply tricks you've been doing elsewhere and proudly share your blog posts, videos, or any other external link in your top posts so we can all go and visit your fancy websites and then get back here to discuss and repost them. Thanks!
Not only is X throttling external links, but it is also messing with its public pages. Without an account, you don't see the conversation if you go to a post. Instead, you get ads to sign up. If you visit profiles, the latest posts are not there. Useless for microblogging. Harmful to the open web.

Honestly, doing these things and ‘being boring’ is going to get you to where you want to be.
Want to be great? Have determination and grit to get there.
Do the small things that add up. That compound.
Be boring and look after you.

Lunchtime naps are the best. Just make sure you wake up before your next meeting
I think all the CEOs pushing for a return to the office need to take a nap on their lunch break in their own bed and learn what magic they are asking people to give up.
