I would like to think cryptocurrency isn't a dumb fad, but then I see shit like "cryptokitties" unironically included in a description of why non-fungible tokens have value, and I'm taken right back to thinking it's a fad.

Like, how could this:

be worth serious money?

Got asked "how happy are you" in my performance review today. (I'm doing well, apparently, so it was about retention.) I answered honestly, and got a follow-up about how my experience could be better. How can you *actually* be honest about that? Like, "I'd like to disregard all business goals, work only on my own projects, work only when I want, and I would like my pay to continue to grow, but faster." Even if that's true, you don't *say* that to your supervisor.

good reminder that I wasn't always competent with computers and system administration: in a journal entry, I'm confronted with the fact that I switched to #Linux full-time for my personal computers because I had accidentally overwritten my disk partition table and didn't know how to recover the #Windows partition

I even have some cutsheets from an architectural modeling class (one of the school's career training elelctives). SubZero freezers and wine cabinets. Reminds me of why I didn't continue with it. Became abundantly clear that we were designing huge houses containing expensive things that only very rich people could afford and benefit from.

Maybe I would have more money now though if I had stuck with it. It was laughably easy to design these things if you had the right software and measurements. Way easier than writing software.

Found the #aqsis renderer source. I think I was playing around with #makehuman (a #blender plugin project for generating 3D models of human bodies) and that's why I had that. Cool to see MakeHuman isn't abandonware.

#firefox has accounts now? when did this happen? I've been on ESR for a while and hadn't noticed.

i get that sometimes the customer tries to specify implementations, but it's part of the PO's job to steer them away from that.

although sometimes the customer or PO does know the best solution in some case, the place to suggest that is separate from where requirements are stated.

scrum pet peeve: product owners specifying implementation rather than relating requirements and user stories

apparently i played a game called "savage2" back then.

fascinating looking back at backups from high school. honestly, it's a strong argument for planning to filter what you backup and to rotate out the backups eventually. such garbage...
