- We’re living in a “The Sims” game. I fully expect someone to build a wall around me and I’ll die in a starved state of panic after peeing myself.
- Quiet in a Slack doesn’t mean that people aren’t talking, it means that they just aren’t talking to you.
- A suppress in Python is a (one line fewer) elegant statement for a try except for a specific error type
- Can you be nostalgic for a time you never lived in?
- In 1970 they blew up a whale carcass in Oregon with 1/2 ton of dynamite.
- When repeating a word and it sounds weird and unfamiliar, that has a name, “Semantic Satiation.”
- I don’t think in words unless I’m practicing something to say to someone, or listening, in which case I repeat everything being said as the other person is saying it. This is exhausting.
- Sometimes you don’t live to be happy, but you’re just happy to live.
Forgettable
How do you turn a square into an octagon?
“Most people are forgettable, don’t be forgettable.”
Faces
Gil: WHAT face was that?
Me: What face?
Gil: You were scratching your face, and went like that (makes hilarious half grimacing, half surprised face).

Gil: You looked like a muppet.
Dear Software
Dear <software>,
The fact that I can open a file, whether binary or text, in your interface, make absolutely no changes other than exporting it to a different format, and you add a * and then ask me if I want to save changes? I didn’t make any changes, but you clearly took me opening you as an invitation to stick your grubby hands into the metadata of my file. And even when that raw file is text based, like svg? And you still do this!? This is (metaphorically) just as icky as not asking for consent. Get your nasty hands out of my data files and if you try to stick a fast one on me again, I’m going to purge the entirety of your bits into Timbuktu you sneaky little mother trucker!
Best,
<developer>

Soylent is rebranding of a diet shake stereotypically marketed for high functioning programmers that “don’t have time to eat.” Or anyone lacking motivation and/or self-control. Both parties can roar their pride to showcase efficiency and focus, but really just don’t want to tell people they drink a girly diet drink.
If we didn’t exist before we were born, then not existing is a state we’ve already experienced and death can’t be entirely unknown after all.
Who designs crackers? How to determine the correct number of holes? Why the holes?
Impact milestone alerts are much more entertaining when you imagine the person didn’t eat enough fiber.
If a moose has a stash, it’s a mustache.
If a cat asks you for a hi five, you can give him a catsup.
In our primal years, we had “fight or flight” responses. The modern version of this is “social media and nap.”

Where I Am
If someone asks me where I am in my life right now, I’d say the other day I ran through a snow storm to get free breakfast. And no one was there.
