Venting about Late Capitalism 

I am so sick of the status quo.

I have friend who works long night shifts at a food processing facility. What they'd call "A workin' man's job" back in the 50's. The kind of job that ensured you a salary that could buy a house and provide enough to care for a partner and a child. You wouldn't be well off, but you'd be doing alright.

Today, they're stuck living with a parent, 'cause money's too tight to leave.

They're not even in a major city.

Fuck capitalism.

A dear friend commissioned the cutest picture for me ;o;

My salty thoughts on Node.js 

"I want to write server-side code but I only know JS super well. Hmmm.."

I found this screw and thought "hey that's a weird nail" … it took a while but my trusty hammer and I managed to get it driven in just fine

I am getting corporate training on memes right now

What is this crazy future

I watched the first 5 episodes of "People of Earth" tonight after a recommendation from @zebratron2084 and I gotta say, it is FANTASTIC. :D

Y'know I've been thinking a lot-- a plush mawr is probably about 7' tall.

If I made a half sized plush mawr... ¿Por que no kobold? :D

Work; positive (Backstory) 

I inherited a codebase that was managed by a marketing department whomst'd only hire dev teams for one-off projects over ~6 years before I started working there.

The average downtime prior to my first day was 2 weeks a year. Today it's closer to 8 hours (and only 'cause our hosting provider sucks). I've been busy trying to meet deadlines while also rewriting massive amounts of the underpinnings of the site. ^^;

Work; positive 

Today I spent the whole day cleaning up technical debt.

Our main site no longer generates 300MB of text error logs daily, but instead closer to... 0.3KB, which is a lot of progress.

I feel really good about the work I got done today. ^^

Omma v soff ✨plush✨ fren!

I have hugs for anyone whomst'd like one 💖 :D

I'm playin' Splatoon if you wanna join me :D
