There is a common myth that "cities are dangerous" while suburbanites don't even let their kids ride bikes in their own neighborhoods bc they're so dangerous bc of cars and everyone knows it.
Cities are safer than suburbs and they are lying to you about it.

i was already using it and that fixes the only real issue I had
Took a moment to reflect on my experiences last year searching for a new job, and wanted to share:
Once upon a time last year In the spring of 2025, I had a sense that it was time for a change in my career. I had already experienced two layoffs back to back, and my instincts were telling me to do what I can to avoid a third. So I started to look for a new job. I spent about 5 months applying, interviewing, and getting rejected. In some cases, my application was either completely ignored or immediately denied. In others, I passed the initial screening but then failed the “technical” interview portion, which generally consisted of a “leetcode” style interview (see my thoughts on this below).

If you happen to work in tech and feeling down about the current state we are in AND wondering what to do in 2026, go and read that article by @anildash.
> What you can control, though, are small iterative things that make you feel better on a human scale, in little ways, when you can. You can help yourself maintain perspective, and you can do the same for those around you who share your values, and who care about the same personal or professional goals that you do.
💡Excellent investigative journalism by Ezra Marcus.
I learned a lot about the shady ecosystem of refund fraud. I don't know why the first descriptor had to be "skinny", but other than that, informative and insightful.
The subject's story is presented in the context of his upbringing along with the culture and atmosphere of his surroundings, without relieving him of accountability. Very well balanced and expertly written.
There’s a poisonous idea that financial success rests solely on the individual and their effort.
If you don’t make it, if you don’t lift yourself out of poverty, if you can’t provide for your family (in the middle of a fucking recession, no less), it’s your own damn fault, and yours alone.
Reality check: not everyone starts off on equal footing in our society.
Not everyone gets the same chances.
The old saying goes that anyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps - if they work hard enough. There's this pervasive and poisonous idea that success or failure rests solely on the individual and their effort. And if you don't make it, if you don't lift yourself out of poverty, if you can’t
