25% of my coworkers' Slack profiles have A.I. pictures of themselves in Holiday-themed attire. 🙃

All these girls who watched K-Pop Demon Hunters and go listen to more Audrey Nuna are going be in for a surprise. It’ll be like watching Bob Saget’s standup after seeing him on Full House.

Local company pick up the phone or call me back so I can give them money for their services challenge (impossible)

Thought I got a nice $1.50 score of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below on CD at Goodwill. Turns out it’s the clean version. 🤮

Also, if you want to buy it digitally, it’s $27! Bonkers.

Responding to your coworkers with AI-generated slop is not only really rude, but also makes you look like a bozo.

I don’t care what Gemini says. If I wanted to know what Gemini “thought” about something I would have asked it myself.

Wow, you can type something into a computer. Congrats, bozo.

It’s weird how warm the colors are in all of the AI slop images now.

It started with the Ghibli slop, but now there’s some new CharGPT house style slop that’s also very warm.

I don’t understand people who don’t acknowledge you after you’ve helped them in text chats. No “thanks”, no thumbs up, no nothin’.

If we were having this conversation in real life would you just walk away from me without saying anything? Probably not. But that’s what it feels like!

If you get food delivered all the time and don’t know how to cook, probably the most important thing you can do right now is learn to cook.

If most of the migrants providing farm and kitchen labor are deported, then the increased food prices and fewer staff will kill all your local restaurants.

We watched “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” tonight and it was better than I expected. I laughed a few times.

It felt more like a reunion movie with a bunch of callbacks, rather than something new, but it was still fun!

No, YOU’RE 🫵 buying things you don’t need, but always wanted, as a way of coping with your anxiety about the future of the world.

Buying a Christmas gift and got a tip screen on a Shopify checkout page. Absolutely bonkers.

Just gave the worst demo of my career and it was recorded 🥲

If you don’t want to cross the virtual NYT picket line but want to play some daily newspaper games, you should try out www.puzzmo.com.

You don’t need to speak French and be an English major to do their crosswords!

Ohh, it’s called Automattic because the guy’s name is Matt.

I’m trying out fly.io and deployed a little toy app, but I couldn’t connect to it. There’s apparently emergency maintenance happening on the server. “Wow, that’s some bad timing,” I thought. But it turns out it’s been in emergency maintenance for TWELVE DAYS.

Great first impression! 🙃

It always feels good when your coworkers start using the emoji you’ve uploaded on Slack

Whenever I get into an Uber, I know I’m about to either engage in the wildest stories and opinions I’ve ever heard, or sit in complete silence.

The problem with my coworkers posting AI-generated art on Slack is that I can’t block them.

I think it’s a good idea to think about what projects you wouldn’t work on for ethical reasons. Anything around gambling or the military has been on my list for a while.. A couple years ago I added crypto/blockchain. I’d add anything related to “AI” to that list now too, I think.

At my first job in college my boss had a rule of “no gambling clients.” I thought, “Yeah, that’s a good idea to create a hard line in the sand for what you want to work on. It’s not ethical to work with an industry that preys on the addicted!” Turns out he just hated working with gambling companies.

A teen said she liked my outfit today. Does that mean I’m cool?

I played through Gordy and the Monster Moon! It’s a perfect little Halloween game that you can beat in about an hour.

The VC money dried up and now all the apps are becoming terrible in a desperate attempt to turn a profit
