      I have a bunch of AG Grid components in @storybook.js.org
      
      Should I create a decorator that inits the grid modules on each story that renders an ag grid component, or initialise them once in the root preview.ts?

      Researched a lil into low-poly candy for some ideas to snazz up the island. It wasn't that fruitful. xD

      if only there were people out there with good ideas who needed funding

      AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
      
      You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.
      Tweet from a loser that says, "I will have 30k to make a fully AI film, what’s the plan? I’m supposed to have ideas by next week. cmon guys what would you want to see? I like sci-fi but it feels to obvious for AI 🤷‍♂️"

      Oddly enough, though I love building software, Im at the point that I want less software in my life. Or at the very least I want it to be less in-my-face obvious that Im dealing with software of any kind. Part of this actually means less software but part of this also means software that just works.

      Getting back into running after the second child and the brutal cold has been tough. But today I took off my watch and stopped trying to chase speed and distance and went completely by feel. Best run I’ve had in a long time!

      stop thinking transactionally about recruiters.
      
      the best candidates i know treat recruiters like industry advisors. they share market intel, celebrate recruiter wins, and stay in touch quarterly. result? they get called about roles that never hit job boards.
