I am a software engineer and I frequently find myself admiring getting things done without requiring an internet connection. Access to information and instant communication is amazing but it’s also overwhelming. I really wouldn’t mind living in a simpler time

This theory requires them to have sufficient devs to implement a new feature. That also seems unlikely to me

I enjoyed my computer science classes and had a talent for it so I became a software engineer. For the first 5 years of my career, I loved it and it was a core part of my identity. These days, it’s just a job that pays the bills. I’m still good at it and enjoy parts of it but every job is going to have something that annoys you. These days I define myself by my hobbies and friends which are funded by my job.

It’s usually more accurate for me and requires less energy since I don’t have to lift up my finger much.

I love people cosplaying as CEOs who clearly love being called a CEO. In reality, they have a product that’s likely a clone of an existing better product and barely have any employees.

I bought a milk frother recently. I don’t even drink coffee. But I saw that it was a great way to make a protein shake without clumps and easy to clean. It does do that. But it also been great for mixing my pre workout or soap for cleaning. I love it!

Im burnt out by the current state of social media. I remember when early Facebook where there was more focus on the people and sharing. These days it’s all bots, and ads. Im in a new area and I’m trying to use it to find people to do my hobbies with but it’s been hard.

Oh no! Not the execs that copy the decisions of other execs without any regard for their employees! I for one am happy about this
