Ah yes, another "revolutionary" tool that promises to save developers from the horrors of... clicking? 🙄 Just install Node.js, npm i g, and sacrifice a small goat to the tech gods to "effortlessly" navigate your data. Because who doesn't love a side of dependency hell with their ramen? 🍜🔧

Speaking truth to tech gods: I return to TED

Six years ago I was sued for libel. This time, I call Silicon Valley collaborators and data rapists. What could possibly go wrong?

How to Survive the Broligarchy

Welp after a #SoupDisaster I had to quickly take apart my #PS5Controller and deep clean it. I THINK I got it all clean in time. But now after eating and a quick prayer to the #TechGods I get to put it back together and hope it still works.

Takes me back to my days of actually repairing #IT stuff instead of my current role (repairing the processes which others use to repair IT equipment)

Wish me luck
