My workplace has become toxic.
An issue today came up.

The person who discovered the issue spent hours pointing fingers that there is a bug, gloating that they found a bug and making a nice big song and dance.

Could have just fixed it and had it in prod in 15 mins bro…

Just had someone sign off their email to me with Hugs, Name.

Not “Warm regards”.
Not “Thanks”.
Not “Regards”.

Just “Hugs”…and I love it.

I’m determined to become a day person. I’ve been a night worker for years now, waking at late afternoon, working all night and then bedtime at 8am…

Feels wrong to be tired at 11:30pm 😂

Being and owner….staying out of the weeds.

If only 90% of CTOs did this instead of meddle 😂

I'm on my third week of "holidays". I'm bored.
Time to start work again lol

Time to begin another round of “7 hours on hold with IKEA”.

The game is to guess how many times they will disconnect me and then try to beat it!

I’ve decided to switch to PHP from Ruby.

Because I like to get paid.

Not sure about the rest of you but the holiday season just drains the life and motivation out of me!

You get to a senior enough level that you know when NOT to code

Rebuild 5 times and it passes for no good reason

Well that’s awesome because that’s what I was going for 🤓

It's starting to come together. Logo is simple but effective for what I wanted 👌 🍒

It’s not often you get a chance for a new beginning.

We do!?! I’m shook!
They are the best 😂

Rubyists, have you ever wanted more features from SQLite? I'm excited to announce the `sqlean` ruby gem!

Dude, nice! I love this ❤️

Ikea, during checkout, said I was a dirty bot showing bot activity and should be ashamed 🥺 My feelings are hurt.

Quick let’s rename all the functions so nobody gets offended!

I've hit a critical point with my project ChrryPick.
It now taking shape enough that I'm like "wow, I can't wait to actually use this" 🎉

It’s just amazing. I appreciate the idea of a bonus and I’m going to get it done anyway because it’s my job.

But after 6 months and passing PCI DSS it’s “what’s a bonus?” 😂

Unfortunately we’ve now had two :(

The next time a company says “if you get this impossible deadline done, there will be a huge bonus!” I’m going to ask for it upfront.

I’ll give it back if I miss the deadline.

I’m simple, just put on Sleep Token and Spiritbox and work away.

Anything Metalcore or Deathcore just clears my brain 🤘
