Out there, is there anyone?

Before 2025 I had never been fired. I've been laid off, never fired.

I was told to do a release on code I hadn't tested yet, said I didn't trust, and forced to do it with no assistance on a weekend - after working there for 4 months. It did not go well.

I'm at a new job now, but my confidence is still lower than ever. I'm a good engineer, but I find myself second guessing everything. Unsure if what I'll say will be the right thing.

Just #offmychest , but I think it'll stay with me.

I enjoy a retro hobby or two (#retrogaming mostly) and a lot of retro #music, but when someone says they genuinely miss the 80s and 90s *as a whole*, I view them with suspicion. Like, were you just not affected by the incredibly pervasive bigotry back then (yes, it was worse than today) or were you an active participant?

Small thing, but man, I hate some media franchises. JJK, Chainsaw Man, and From Software Souls/Elden games.

More specifically, that these are somehow lauded as being good lore/storytelling, when they are garbage narratives. But then I remember that as a kid in a school of a thousand, probably less than a hundread of us actually had the hobby of reading books in the school library, and I remember that the common person, much less teens and young adults, don’t actually read for fun and its just the same as it ever was. There’s just more content for mouthbreathers these days.

#OffMyChest: I honestly think people are being extremely reactionary to the news of Eugen stepping down, and overreacting by a parsec. — #microblogging #MicroToot: 134 characters
... die Mitarbeitenden waren etwas kurz angebunden zu dir? Ist dir klar, wie viele Drohungen, Beschimpfungen und Angriffe sie schon hinter sich haben? Wie oft sie an diesem Tag schon weinende Menschen vor sich hatten, denen sie nicht helfen KONNTEN, die sie aber trotzdem angefleht haben?
Bevor du also nochmal über die Mitarbeitenden einer Behörde wetterst und sie mit Faschisten vergleichst, erinnere dich bitte dran, dass das auch echte Menschen sind.

Sorry, just had to get it #OffMyChest. XD

Got asked today if I wanted to optimize my animation process using AI. Tech bros don't seem to get why anyone would want to do anything themselves and instead offer AI as the ultimate solution. Then continued to imply my business isn't effective enough.

Bro, I get you don't often get to create anything at all yourself, but let the rest of us keep doing what we love.

Rant over.

Reason number $RANDOM why proprietary software sucks, or as @dexter would say, "Only proprietary software vendors want proprietary software."

Preaching to the choir, I know. Phew. Sorry. #OffMyChest. XD
