Photo of the game Octopath Traveller 2 on a red Nintendo switch. The art style is 2d pixels. The scene is an old western saloon. The colours are reminiscent of an old western in autumn.

Starting Octopath Traveller 2 today!

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:
18f.org

Oh. My. God. That looks amazing!

Confirming your understanding by recapping what was said to make sure you're both on the same page. Something along the lines of 'so what I'm hearing is you want.... is that correct?'

This removes assumptions

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.

Remember when gpus were used mostly for gaming and graphics?

Never Forgive Them In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting wor...

After I read this, I want to crawl into a hole and throw my phone and computer out the window.

Love. It. This is what the Web needs more of

Just the one where you need to go through a captcha in the form of a riddle Sherlock Holmes couldn't solve

Skin care and moisturising. Spent 3 quarters of my life thinking I don't need that. Difference is night and day

Is this the year I pivot into mobile app development?

What's the biggest thing stopping you learning web development?

You mean I don't have to send 'with the attachment this time' emails anymore?

Ahk, might do some more research this weekend. Thanks for the help!

Cool. Have you run into any problems gaming on Linux

How is gaming on Linux nowadays? All the junk windows keeps pushing makes me wanna move but also want to keep on gaming

Hey y'all. Anyone their own personal website they want to plug? I'm collecting for a blog post and my upcoming email course (which will be free ofc)

I remember losing my mind over being able to see the pupils in their eyes!

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.

Absolutely agree. Yes I know what is happening. I was more expressing that it is still happening. Those are some great resources. It's good to have these to show that with a little bit of effort anyone can build a website. Thanks for sharing.

What is still happening...😞WordPress is my main CMS and i think a lot of non technical people still like it but I am exploring a few other options like Astro just in case
