      Hey @jason.energy 👋
      
      I’m demoing something at work that requires audio feedback. Can I use your ‘boop’ sound effect?

      For the past couple of years, I hadn't been hearing from recruiters so much. But this week alone I’ve heard from 3 recruiters! And I’ve seen others share the same thing.
      
      Maybe a good sign that hiring is picking back up? Have y’all noticed an uptick in recruiters or job listings?

      got on a call with @ichris.bsky.social for some new podcast stuff and the first thing he says to me is, "why are you dressed like The Rock?"
      Jason wearing a black sweater, blue jeans, and a chain. He's mimicking the pose from The Rock's famous photo where a young Dwayne Johnson is wearing the same outfit. Chris is also visible, and it might just be because he hurt my feelings but I think he looks like a smug asshole.
