Software developer, ice hockey player, some sort of magical unicorn in a human's body, video & tabletop gamer, all around crazy person.

I heard someone say that when Tom Hanks was in his 30s he played a character that was only 13 years old. Big, if true.
Every time I write "Elon Musk" I'm going to write "Dipshit Elon Musk" instead. It's the small things that keep me sane.

Fear of violence is a useful corrective on the nobles, but it would be better to have a world without fear, violence or nobles.
Used to have a full time job as a pert but I quit, so now I’m an expert.

Okay, I’m finally falling asleep.

Brain: How many seasons did Gilligan’s Island run?

Seriously?

Brain: Just read the whole wiki article.

If an employer ever asks you to resign, tell them "no".

There is no benefit to resigning unless you have another job lined up already.

Make them fire you. Get your unemployment benefits. Make sure you are legally protected in case of malfeasance. Resigning undermines all of that.

This message brought to you by AWS telling workers to return to office 5-days-a-week by commuting or relocating, or they should resign.

Again, the answer is "no, you'll have to fire me."

EDIT: To clarify, in most areas "fired" and "let go" are not legally meaningful terms and can be used interchangeably. The important term is "for cause" or not. So don't commit misconduct to get fired. Poor job performance is typically not a "for cause" reason, nor is failure to accept changes like RTO

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

I don't think I've ever heard someone say "Private equity bought this company and after that everything went great."
