      If you're new to the software industry, or looking for a job, you really should be listening to those doing the work. You don't have to agree with everything they say, but you should be listening. Ask questions and challenge everything -- even if you can't afford to say it out loud.

      I like where The Pitt is going with the tech theme. No spoilers, but it's a good, humbling reminder of dependency that we should *all keep in mind*

      So anyway I guess this is what it feels like to be one of the tiny humans running through the streets while the giant supervillain monsters are fighting by throwing passengers trains and apartment buildings at each other

      For the last month, I’ve been reliving waking up before school (now work) watching classic anime like Yu Yu Hakusho and honestly I still think the city pop era OST is superior to all

      My dad sent me this old card from my gramma. I miss her very much. I can hear it in her voice. And it was a fun day!
      Card says “beautiful sarah, this card reminded me of the time I was fixing my hair in the shop window, when the breeze from the cellar blew it apart. We both really couldn’t stop laughing. I am walking around the city, looking like someone pulled my hair straight up. That was a fun day, right?”
