🎉 Behold, the self-proclaimed AI hater who bravely used AI, got results, and *gasp* didn't enjoy it. 😱 In a shocking twist of events, the author heroically endured the tribulation of success, proving once again that technology is scary and change is hard. 🙄

I used AI. It worked. I hated it.

I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

Change can be chaotic, beautiful, even messy and it can happen to anyone at anytime.
It's time to learn about navigating change, flipping the script on fear, and finding peace even when things feel upside down.

Embracing the Shift: Navigating Change with Grace (and a Little Grit)

Let’s face it—change is about as subtle as a toddler with a tambourine at 6 AM. It barges in, rearranges everything, and leaves us wondering if we’re supposed to cry, dance, or both. Whether it’s a…

Personal growth isn’t just about gaining something new—it’s about letting go of what no longer serves you. The price? Your old life. The excuses, the comfort zone, the version of you that played small. Growth demands change, and change isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.

It's rude and exhausting and unsettling that Thursday I actually felt like I had things together, and 48 hours later I feel lost and angry and so tired and out of self-worth once again.

Trying to shut my brain off because sleep will inevitably help, but that's easier said than done. It's like there's a big whirling ball of Stuff in there, throwing out random things at me every time I stop distracting myself.

Sigh.

It's interesting (as a person with a large bowl of popcorn) how Rust is making people in both Linux and BSD thinking about long held conventions and positions that might need updating.

It's too bad these things often get turned into religious wars by people that may or may not even have any real knowledge of the issues and the impacts of change.

I think 2020 gave me a mask fetish. I used to dislike the bondage porn that covered mouths, but this has changed. Seeing people with masks in stores is very appealing.

"Describing the slowness of change is often confused with acceptance of the status quo. It’s really the opposite: an argument that the status quo must be changed, and it will take steadfast commitment to see the job through" https://lithub.com/rebecca-solnit-slow-change-can-be-radical-change/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=pocket_hits&utm_campaign=POCKET_HITS-EN-WE < This is very good on slow change by Rebecca Solnit #change #ChangeIsHard #Activism

Frustrating experience with an older client.

Due to a slow and failing hard drive, I did a lot of work on her computer today, upgrading to an SSD. Much faster now. Fixed login issues by switching to a local login instead of a Microsoft login... you may know where this is going.

Got the computer back to her. Checking it over with her.

"Where's my calendar that I keep my entire life in?"

Months back I had helped her migrate her calendar to Thunderbird so it wouldn't be in a Microsoft product and would be easy to back up. Unbeknownst to me, she didn't keep using Thunderbird but went back to Outlook because #ChangeIsHard ... Change Is Hard.

Turns out that there were multiple Microsoft Accounts associated with her Outlook 365. When I switched to a local login to fix a login issue, it disconnect all of them. The account where we think the calendar data is stored, she doesn't know the password. Account recovery is not working.

Right now I don't want to work on computers with Microsoft products on. At all. Of course, not realistic, as the majority of my local customers use Windows.

This morning Bertie rediscovered the empty spot on the deck that once held a hot tub and barked wildly at the emptiness. I went to see if someone was at our front door and found him, assured him all was well, and listened to his grumble-whine of displeasure. He then followed me around like he needed to speak to management, or my supervisor at the very least. #DogsOfMastodon #EnglishBulldog #ChangeIsHard

Neurotypicals will be like “I struggle with change too like last year I took a beautiful two month vacation to coastal Italy & it took me almost a whole week to get used to things” no ma’am you don’t understand I’ve had the same wardrobe & same foods & used the same brands & products for 15yrs I’m still using t9 & paper maps & the “old phone” ringer & grieving the loss of myspace I hardly ever use apps because they update too often should I keep going or
