Happy birthday! You’ve been one of the best sources and it’s a shame I didn’t sub earlier. Thank you.

This interaction makes me want to finish redoing my blog

I started a new job today, and it's kind of amazing the level of comfort that brings. I'd been employed for 22 years straight (ignoring weekends between jobs) and losing mine in July was jarring.

However, it also seems like it was maybe the best thing for me.

Depending on the nature of the travel, though, I quite like the travel part. Maybe not 100% of all of it, but I generally enjoy flying and I'd love to do a real train trip someday, and I love road trips so much.

Friday 9/19 at 9AM Mountain Time I am giving out 20 gift cards to nora.jewelry to trans people who want some wearable art but can't afford to buy it for any reason. You're going to want to bookmark nora.jewelry/pages/we-wan... and set an alarm.

I definitely saw where it was going, but not how it would sound. 🥇

I lived out there in 2001 when I worked for AOL, lived in Herndon and worked in Reston. Some very fond memories. 😊

(Some rough ones too, 2001 was a rough year to live there after September 😅)

Y’all hiring? 👀

as soon as I get a job again, I may have to see about getting one of those hot dogs

it makes me so happy to find out you're on this site in addition to X - I've missed all the unhinged stained glass and still absolutely love my dumpster fire buddy

Nothing special, I do that too

I’m so sorry for your loss 💜

THEY ARE THE REASON WHY YOU CAN COUNT

ColdFusion was like writing looping html and it was … it was something. 😆

I once had a title that was like Senior WebOps Engineer and I really didn't care for that one lol

this is part of why I love playing games on my Steam Deck. Having two trackpads within comfortable reach of my thumbs is the best.

I may have to buy one of these, omg

This is true for my kids too. I took their mom’s name, not the other way around. Their mom’s “maiden name” is their last name.

(I also haven’t found a masc version of “maiden name” to describe my pre-marriage name)

- 1 jumper at a time
- No somersaults

Yeah. This is how you do it.

I originally started a new site to give a new home to my @glitch.com projects since that's shuttered, but now I'm debating if I want to port all my little garbage things or maybe just keep some up in their very ancient state.

I wrote a whole ton of random little experimental things using JS in like 2008, 2009, and I'm now working on creating a new personal website, and it's kind of a weird wild blast from the past to look at this code that had like, IE8 polyfills and jQuery 1.7 and such

Discord — Staff Software Engineer - UI and Interactions (Full-Stack) Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does on our platform: play video games. Over 90% of our users play games, ...

I don't suppose I know anyone who works at @discord.com? Genuinely interested in applying for discord.com/jobs/8058456... and would love to chat with someone about it.

Yayyy! I’m so glad!!

That sounds amazing and I hope there’s a concert recording at some point

Today is the first day that I’ve been unemployed without another job lined up since 2003.

That’s a weird feeling.

I’ve made it through like … at least six or seven rounds of layoffs at various companies in my career. Never once laid off, somehow.

Guess that streak had to end someday. Like today.

If you need someone who’s been writing JS since the ‘90s and knows weird browser shit AND backend too, hit me up!

There’s messages here too though, yeah?

I can only imagine the wild shit you get.

Waaaay late reply to say that my fingers were too chonky for a gen 3 but I just set up a gen 4 (size 15 😅) and I’m super excited about it.

Thank you for all this insight some months ago!

Feels weird to think and talk about this shit when everything is ... <gestures vaguely> but

Glitch going away is apparently the kick I needed to get going with a new website. I haven't done this in ... ages. Enjoying Astro for it.
