Canadian. Male enough. He or It, whatever. 3X years

Ideally all posts will be cheerful and/or dumbass! I don't know what my topics are :) I haven't decided if I should cloister my programmer/computer science talk yet.

Please tell me if I am a jerk and I will do my best to not be one.

Oh people use pinned posts for #introductions now!

I'm 3X! I'm a third-culture Indian-Canadian! I'm cis, straight, demigrey? He/it works 4 nouns!

I like code & devops! I like anime and metal & jazz! I surely like other things too! I like having cheerful feelings so I have them here!

I go through depressive/self-esteem/ahedonia moods! I like to low-key better the world! strong feelings/situations stress me the heck out & I have to lie down for weeks after!

I am not good at speaking in groups!

We're no strangers to LISP
You know syntax, and so do I
An s-expression is what I'm thinking of
you wouldn't get this if you lazily apply

Childish Gambino's "Awaken my Love!" is both relaxing me but also depressing me :)

Thinking a bit about how we as a society have weaponized reviews and how one day we’ll weaponize reviews of people, if we haven’t already. technology force amplifying social mechanics for benevolence and malevolence

I used to kind of make fun / be confused by my angry ops friends because they hated developers so muchI u

but

for various reasons the last two weeks

I think I've become one of them 😢

Wish we had real devops at work. I kind of hate coding at the moment 😢 I would like to like coding again as well as production environment stability 😢

I am feeling ... things?

But I don't know what those feelings mean?? I just know they exist???

It's good since I haven't felt things in a long time! But it's also bad because now my state of mind is complicated I guess!!

A combo of debugging a vacationing employee's Go code and teaching junior devs Javascript has left me very tired; I have come home and put on anime but it feels empty, like chewing twigs.

OK, I guess we're doing this. (Lucky thing jams don't require much overhead!)

I'm in this weird place where I'm grumpily looking at somebody else's Go code, hitting mysterious pointer issues, and whistfully thinking about C++11?

This is a weird place to be.

Realized that of my career has been spent wondering if I'd ever be "good enough" and "make it" but at some point this year I transitioned into "sigh, nobody is going to do the important unsexy thing, I will go do the important unsexy thing" which I guess means I made it.

My streaming service fired its "music for irritated robots" algorithm, sending me music by some artist called Monolake w/ an album named after a CPU instruction set (VLSI). Very pleasing in a "need to go into a focus hole not be distracted by you" way :D
