someone in one of my work channels shared this when a person complained about being too busy to experiment with AI and it hits

forgot my glasses at home. it’s going to be a long day of squinting at code.

watched a bunch of k pop videos today. they are so fun! how do they dance and sing so well at the same time?? so talented.

CTF is so fun! i did it today for the first time to find vulnerabilities in applications using burp suite. what a fun way to find bugs.

lately, i've been so focused on work that i have no idea what's going on in the world. i love what I do, but i hate that my mind can't seem to think about anything else. grinders here, do you ever deal with this? and if you do, does it bother you?

it was supposed to be the first hike of the summer but yesterday was cold and cloudy. still worth it!

TIL about matriphagy, which means mother eating. it’s a phenomenon observed in some insects and worms where a mother lets herself be eaten by her children to ensure their survival. nature is intense.

Books

i’m currently reading daemon by daniel suarez and it’s blowing my mind. what a book!

apparently, i talk to myself a lot. one of my colleagues noticed it and told me today.

all this while, i thought i needed a rubber duck to talk about my bugs. but it looks like i can just talk to myself instead.

i miss singapore’s designated smoking spots. it was so convenient you could just avoid them if you didn’t want passive smoking

tfw you waste an hour figuring out what’s wrong with your code, only to find out it was just a variable casing issue (not me pulling my hair out in crazy mode)

subscribed to pro because i want to cast more here and i’d like to earn back my money

my favorite thing on my walk to work every morning is the cats sitting by the window of their homes.

been grinding nonstop for the past two weeks and i am finally back (quietly hoping the fires stay away for a while)

i have no idea what’s hot here right now.

looks like i’m not done yet. i’ll be back soon

a few minutes of silence for everyone who spent hours explaining the difference between warpcast and farcaster to the world. we will never forget your efforts.
