I still do not understand why the security guards whose main job seems to be checking receipts at the Fred Meyer’s in North Portland need to wear body armor, open carry guns, and just generally look like they are larping police. #pdx
I just learned that the whole concept of illegal immigration from Mexico really only began in 1965. Before that people just walked over the border, could work and live here, and it was just tolerated and not considered a big deal.
Karl is one of the best people I know, not just as a developer, but as a human. He's smart, too. You'd be lucky to have him on your frontend team. If you're on Rails, he can handle your frontend needs while also contributing to the backend. #JavaScript #ReactJS #AngularJS #Ruby #RubyOnRails

Hi Friends. The fabled time has arrived, I am once again looking for work. This time is different. I've downed my last Capsule and I'm looking for a full-time position. I'm good with Ruby, Rails, Javascript, React, VueJS, Stimulus, HTML, CSS. I've been in the game for 14 years, and loving it.

I guess it's normal for your mortgage and car to take up 40% of your income, but man, those two things are expensive. I can't wait until this car is paid off in a couple years.
The issue I've had with MCP servers is that they're all hard to install and setup. Hopefully that gets easier. It seems like it should be closer to installing a VS Code extension than whatever this is.
A few weeks into using YNAB, I have almost enough money in my "Bills Only” checking account to pay next month’s bills by the end of the month, and I'm not spending all of my leftover money before getting paid again. #ynab
I'm still bummed it's called a “Chippy Butty” and not a “Chippy Buddy.”
I’ve never ironed money before, and I have to say, it’s weirdly satisfying. Recommended.
