Y’all really think schools shifting online are the sole factors driving youth mental health decline?

Not mass death, the casual selfishness of the adults in their lives, the prolonged stress of pandemic life, the flip-flopping of politicians who wield power over their lives..?

I learned to drive in the snow in the great white north.

Because of that I made the conscious decision that as best I can swing it all my cars should have AWD or 4WD for traction.

As such, here's my instructions for how to safely drive through the snow in Seattle:

Don't.

Men in tech will literally buy a maxed out MacBook Pro and a Herman Miller chair because “I spend 30-40% of my life using this, the expense is justified” and then spend 24/7 in the same couple of awfully fitting T-shirts they got for free from some startup 5 years ago.

I read somewhere that Black employees are a lot happier with WFH as they can now avoid the daily micro aggressions of being in a physical office. And I felt that.

A “staff+ engineer” has three primary responsibilities:
- be burned out from coding
- find ridiculous justifications why bug fixing has to be punted in favor of more features, yet again
- exasperated tweets about 8+ hours of non-stop meetings

College can’t prepare you for that.

I think CS academics are asking the wrong question when they ask "what does industry want?".

Instead, they should talk to staff+ software engineers, who have done mentorship work, and ask them about what skills are important. I suspect they'll get widely different answers.

Welp today I learned a family story I never knew before, about how my uncle was quite the hellion as a pre-teen and made his town's one cop miserable, and solved a murder, all before he was old enough to drive.

Settle in, cats & kittens, it's story time.

So no matter your political affiliation, or thoughts on masks, or where you live in this country, as an ER doctor you’d trust with your life if you rolled into my emergency room at 3am, I promise you that you’d rather face the oncoming Omicron wave vaccinated.

Please be safe. ❤️

I can see why Don’t Look Up is getting panned, as it’s forcing a lot of stupid people who have become successful off of convincing others that they are, in fact, smart people, and are now being reminded that they’re actually still assholes making life worse for everyone.
