inessential: Retirement Day

@brentsimmons Happy Retirement Day to you. Congratulations!!
@brentsimmons Happy retirement! I've been living with your software for decades, thank you very much 🙏
@brentsimmons Awesome landmark in a lifetime. Enjoy it. Do stuff. Stuff that hopefully includes indy dev stuff we'll all like too. 😁
@brentsimmons congrats! I'm sorry we never got to work together or even meet each other properly at Amazon, tho we did meet once at Renaissance.io in SF in like 2013
@brentsimmons Congrats, man. Take a well deserved break.

@brentsimmons congratulations! I’ll always remember the an early bit of advice I read that I think came from you and being indie means putting in the hours, so buy a good chair and sit in it every day, work, and repeat.

Now you can aside that chair once in a while 😁

@brentsimmons Congratulations! Enjoy it!!
@brentsimmons Congrats. Thanks for all the joy you’ve brought into the world. Love that you’re getting a chance to go back to work on NetNewsWire. Cheers!

@brentsimmons Congrats! Go cause some trouble.

@brentsimmons A 20+ year belated thanks for NetNewsWire, my first reader, which I started with in maybe 2001 or 2002.

I never ate at Schaefers but do remember riding through Chesapeake City in 80s on my road bike outings as an undergrad at U Delaware.

@cogdog Back in those days I lived very close to UD! Just over the MD state line, off route 273. After Schaefer’s I worked at the Newark Friendly’s. I was close enough to ride my bike to work :)

@brentsimmons That’s wild. I was at UD 1981-1983 and 1985-1986. We would ride bikes down to State Line Liquor as MD drinking age was 18 and DE was 20.

I hung out much at Deer Park Tavern, they had great nachos in the day.

@cogdog State Line used to sell me beer when I was 14! I prepared by not shaving all week, though I’m not sure that was actually necessary
@brentsimmons and I am sure it was my friend @dnorman who turned me on to NetNewsWire in early 2000s
@cogdog @brentsimmons I'm still using NNW! (after misguided straying to some other online tools years ago, I returned when NNW was rebooted)
