"We work hard, play hard. It's a fast paced, dynamic environment" Shut the fuck up and chill out man. 99% of jobs/employers/staff stating the above are out of control. Do shit, have deadlines if you must, have expectations, work 18hr days, don't switch off, live and breathe it. Brilliant, but please value peoples input and output, trust that they are capable and can enhance your offering. Otherwise "We work hard, play hard. It's a fast paced, dynamic environment" simply comes across as "can't stop, too much to do, not sure why, but let's party to forget". 80s corporate bullshit is exactly that, get over yourself.

What an absolute crock of shit. This won't be policed, we'll all simply be surveilled on mass.

I've just came across and signed up to The Odin Project, I'm fucking doing this! Nostr (and some on X) - the speed and openness at which you build has genuinely inspired me, It's kept me interested in what's happening, it's switched my brain in to 'build' mode and I've learnt a bit too. Thank you. I've always enjoyed tech and tinkering but never pushed it any further. But watching people push products over a weekend (yes no with an AI agent or maybe a bit buggy) and the rise and rise of AI agents has had an effect on me. When that first GitHub project lands I'll be smitten (only for a day).... this is fucking happening.

Just been to the Kurdish barbers for my annual shear. It feels so nice. Close shave, flammed ears, hot wax up the nose and about 9" of hair and a good chunk off the beard. I floated down the street.

Kids, do it, it's fun. View quoted note →

Went on a brilliant walk yesterday. Went in a cave, navigated a mini landslide, crossed a waterfall, ran across a Roman rampart, looked around an old graveyard. Went to pub.
